We have Florida-today, then an open week; then UGA and Bama. We'll be 1-6 prior to South Carolina. The coach won't survive another season. I'll be surprised if he isn't fired by the end of the season. Will Fulmer allow another 5-7 season? I sure hope not! How's the future of the recruiting classes? Vols need some top 10 recruits and we need to be in the top 12 universities in the country and a few 4 and 5 star recruits.
Fulmer really doesn't have a choice...sure he can fire him after 2 seasons but he looks more like a failure than CJP if he does.
What's more, is that many believe Fulmer can ride in on a donkey and coach the football team with Pruitt's staff and turn this mess around? More turnover in staff and players. He isn't going to fire anybody because he is the AD. In this day and age you are an AD or a Coach, but not both. Recruiting will suffer... because of the unstable enviroment created....This just ain't happening.
Fulmer firing CPJ at season's end...No....we probably can afford another buyout... We will have to buyout our new coach contract.
Really is that there will be zero top Tier coaches to blaze the trail to get her.
I hate to tell some of you this... 100% sure that Fulmer knows the exact state of the Program and Pruitt does also. They probably discussed the timeline as to when Tennessee could put a competitive team on the field.
The realistic answer was beyond Season 2 and maybe beyond Season 3.
Another coaching change would only hit another reset button and we would return to ground zero and restart the process.
This is all about $$$, times have changed with Tax Laws.
