12 text messages in Tennessee NCAA recruiting scandal that buried Jeremy Pruitt, staff

Phil Fulmer was obviously in the dark about Pruitt's exploits as late as November 2020. He sent an email confirming Donde Plowman was already thinking of replacing Pruitt. This email listed potential replacement coaches. Darn good insight to what Phil was thinking at the time:

What a shi# show.

 

[Tman44]

What a shi# show.

100%. It really showed what lengths they went to in order to hide what they were doing from the University. That had to have helped us in the eyes of the NCAA.

 

[Scot Harvath]

What a bunch of blundering idiots

 

[OrangeTsar]

The one that just came out with Fulmer listing all the excuses for recommending keeping Pruitt after the disaster that was 2020 is really nauseating

I would encourage anyone who wishes their texts to remain private to download the Signal app, both the sender and receiver of the texts will need the app. The encryption is good (although no encryption is perfect) and you can set the app to delete the texts after a certain amount of time. I highly recommend it. A burner phone is also recommended if you are doing anything shady. Stay safe folks.

Glad Fulmer didn't voluntarily/involuntarily get involved in the Pruitt shenanigan's. I have always liked and admired Coach Fulmer, except when it was time for him and Randy (up the middle) Sanders to Exit Stage Left

 

[The Original Fade]

Keep it street man

 

[Special Ed]

I think all the donut holes finally went to Phil's head.

Donde Plowman was already "thinking" about firing him? Lol

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

And even sadder is the fact Pruitt couldn’t even win with cheating

 

[ksgovols]

What I garnered is how many recruits have their hands out. Or their mothers.....They aren't mentioned by name. Other than Darnell Washington. If you are selling your son's services or your son has his hand out, they should be named as well. Future employers should know what they are dealing with.

She knew more than Fulmer did apparently. A whistleblower was her informant while Fulmer had his head in the sand apparently. Still culpable and he got what he deserved.

This from the Fulmer article is disturbing. "In the email titled “Football Appraisal,” Fulmer argued that Pruitt should be retained as coach.
“I am not (at) all advocating a change in football and hope we do not get there with pending issues,” Fulmer wrote. “I do believe we can overcome our challenges, and I have seen signs of progress.”

My favorite text of them all “This is getting Hella Gheto”. They all knew what they was doing.

I wonder if Heupel would consider Alex French as an assistant?

When the internet hit big, especially with emails the Fortune 500 company I worked for brought all employees into a seminar that basically said, “if you don’t want to see what you said in an email, voice mail or the like on the front page of the New York Times don’t send it or leave that message.

And even sadder is the fact Pruitt couldn’t even win with cheating

He couldn’t even wear a mask correctly

 

[GrizzlyVol]

I still wonder why d line coach Jimmy B was fired, was he not on board with the cheating

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I find it amazing appalling that anyone would have ever installed those clowns as a coaching staff to lead a major D1 any program.

 

[BoonshillVol]

Are y'all serious about believing Fulmer knew nothing of the cheating. His only defense is his inadequacies as an AD and his lack of reality is general.

I thought he and Pruitt got into a shouting match at halftime about Dline performance and Pruitt fired him on the spot or immediately after the game.

Didn’t Pruitt tell him to run a certain D-line call and he bucked him because he knew it would not work?

 

[supersmo18]

Lol. “These little mf expensive”

Others here have a better memory than me, but I remembered it being that the DBs were getting toasted and Pruitt attributed it to a lack of Dline pressure. The Dline coach took exception and it escalated from there.
