Pruitt hired as a PE teacher.

My guess is he needed healthcare coverage.
There are plenty of ways to get health coverage without it being tied to an employer. This has to be an angle for him to coach without technically being on a coaching staff.

…and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a PE teacher. It’s just that somebody with his résumé and who presumably knows the people that he does would typically end up on a coaching staff of some sort, in a business deal somewhere as an investor or consultant etc.
 
Damn i bet Ole Jeremy trying go ahead and get them payments started early build the pipeline lol...I could just see it now dad comes to pick up kid and casually comes back to their car with a chik-Fila bag in the front seat..
And the best ones also get a personal note from Nick Saban in the bag as well with the cash
 
Know the place well, was on my route to hometown Knoxville during my Guntersville years. Hung a right there to get to I-59 MANY times after cruising up the Vestal Goodman highway.
That was my biggest hope for Pruitt at the time. NE Alabama is culturally closer to Tennessee than Tuscaloosa. Sand Mountain especially
 
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?


Never liked him just said he could be likable to just talk to. Those who really know me on this board know I had nothing but distain for him.
 
When your career path leaves a crater:

2021 - Senior Defensive Assistant, New York Jets
2023 - Plainsview High School PE teacher and Jr High Basketball Coach, Rainsville, Alabama

and you're not yet 50.

It was a great analogy.

It’s been a nightmare y’all

No matter what you think of Dools as a coach, he was downright clever and funny sometimes. Never took himself nearly as seriously as Butch for sure
He might have been the smartest coach we’ve ever had. He was just bad at relationship building, leadership, player relations, motivation, alumni relations and gameday strategy.

Dooley was a smartass but was a much better human being than Butch, Kiffin, or Pruitt.

What a bad period of Vols football under Cornbread; his post game press conferences blaming former coaches players, blaming not enough depth, promising better things next week,, losing to really weak teams, glad he's in our rear-view mirror
