"Aight class listen on up aight today we're gonna learn the food triangle thingy aight..." - Mr. Gump

"Aight now somebody tell me your favorite food in the veggie group aight..." - Mr. Gump

Student "Mine is asparagus..."

*Scratches head* "I ain't ever hurd of et" - Mr. Gump

You forgot the part where he kicks the grease board.

People will crap on the guy, but he is clearly returning to his humble roots to rebuild his life/career on a firmer foundation. I can at least respect the thought process.

Also possible his wife is sick of having him around and told him to get a job to stay busy.

Dem kids will be eating McDonald’s in no time!

Somewhere in Alabama next year

“Do you know what the teacher is saying?”

“No but just run around pretending you know what you are doing”

Maybe Butch can join him next year to teach band

Dooley for history?

 

[kiddiedoc]

Please. The Bama money that sent him here is flowing fine.

 

[Pappy]

He might end up in the press box as a football “analyst”

did you mean anal cyst?

 

[BearCat204]

He ever heard of investments or passive income? Why in the world would you have to get a regular 9-5 after making so much money for years?

Gonna assume he doesn’t NEED to do this. For all his faults and failures here, the guy loves young people and he’s doing something he loves.

 

[volfan2024]

Of course what he did was stupid at some point cant keep stepping on a guy thats down. I dont agree with the net worth part about this thread and a PE teacher still has to go to college 3-4 years to get a degree. Just playing devils advocate.

 

[Raebo]

If I was financially secure and had to have some kind of job, PE teacher would be on my “maybe” list. No papers to grade, no class preparation, etc.. Just break up a fight now and then.

Great thread

Guy has a higher net worth than this entire thread combined and just got hired for his stress free dream job

Flame away

Don't be so quick to assume that, friend....

Also: no teaching job on the planet involving middle schoolers is "stress free" or a "dream job." College kids are a joy and a blessing by comparison.

Something never said on Sand Mountain: "My name is Coach Pruitt, and I will be you Calculus teacher this year."

I think they should have made Cornbread the English teacher. That would have been entertaining.

 

[Delmar]

Pruitt should have went to Pell City to coach under Rush Probst again. Pell City 7A and better school than Plainview.

Yep and he would have fit right in with the sleaze factor. Birds of a feather……

[utnut1]

This reply wins!

 

[NO SIR EEE]

I am sure this is just the title he was given. Everyone knows damn well he isn't going to be in the gym every day teaching PE. He'll be on the football staff and had to have a title to legally be there. Screw this clown.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Maybe he will remember why he loved coaching in the first place, and if he ever does get another shot, he will make it about the love of the game instead of just winning by any means possible.

It does us no good to wish him ill, it all worked out for us. But I know his dad, and he is a good man, and in the end, Pruitt is a guy who just went down the wrong path, but is still young enough to get it right. Hopefully he rights the ship and gets another shot to have the integrity he needs to have. I honestly want Pruitt to succeed. But hopefully this humbled him and will make him do better the next time.

 

[Sara Clark]

I find it sad that people conduct themselves in a manner in which this would be what is available. What a shame!

 

[Ratvol]

PE teacher. I just wonder how he’s gonna screw this gig up.

Go VOLS

Great thread

That leaves me out of this conversation’cause I made more money last year than I could save.

Go VOLS

 

[mrorange211]

Dude has made millions and now gets to live life as a PE teacher in a town where everyone adores him. #winning

 

[JacketVol]

If you had enough money to do whatever you wanted in life, what would you do? Travel? I actually think this is cool that he chose to do this. I get the hate and the jokes and Pruitt 100% deserves it, if nothing else for making me walk out of Neyland after the Georgia state fiasco...BUT, I met Pruitt on 2 occasions and he was awesome to my family

I’ve spoken with him several times and even after he was fired on the phone. Not a horrible guy. Just a horrible Head Coach.

 

[pharmDvol11]

Corn dogs and McDonald’s every Friday.

 

[FlyFishnVol]

As a PE teacher.

Report: Former Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt hired as P.E. teacher

, finally a job that fits.

 

[dobre_shunka]

I’ve spoken with him several times and even after he was fired on the phone. Not a horrible guy. Just a horrible Head Coach.

So that attempt to blackmail the entire UTAD and "“cripple UT’s athletic programs for years” never happened? How about trying to blame the overwhelming bulk of the violations on his "inexperienced" assistants and never taking personal responsibility?
