Pruitt wouldnt survive a 1-7 record.

[FranklinVFL]

We are about to see if OP is correct or not...1-3 record...next 4 are UGA, MSST, Bama, SCAR.

I do not see a win in there.

Vanderbilt scored 24 points on a very good LSU defense so they will give Tennessee major problems.

I really cannot see a single team left on our schedule that will not give us major problems.

 

[I40flyer]

I have noticed the Sunshine Pumping Pool Boy Quartet does not actually list the predicted Wins or as we had today "L", they just hang on to that number seven, we'll see.

Why can't Tennessee get a mean and hungry coach. I thought Pruitt was the man but he needs to just say we suck. Jarrett is an awful QB and Pruitt was defensive coordinator for Saben. Damn, I am ashamed every year living in Florida. 2 int already against the gators with 10 min left in the half. Jarrett sucks as QB, pull him out and at least try to win.

I've been in Central Fla (near KSC) for almost 11 years mow. There are a lot of Gator fans at our church. We have Auburn fans, Seminole fans and Ohio State fans too (our pastor).
It's been tough being a Vol fan in Florida. We'll get them back in basketball!

Will we beat UAB?

UAB is nothing to sneeze at

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

Pruitt is here this year and next even if we go 1-7 to finish. Burn mattresses and kick puppies if you want, but he isn’t getting fired at the end of the year no matter what happens

Whether or not OP is correct, we'll be lucky to score a touchdown between now and November. This cannot continue.

 

[Volfan2012]

We may get to find out 1 and 5 is definite and 1 and 7 definitely possible.

 

[jarnol32]

They didn’t do it for the last three buyouts

Where exactly do you think that money is coming from?

 

[rkyk]

6 year- Salary 1.5 m with annual increase of 83,000 per win
+300,000 per win
+win east 300,000
+win sec 500,000
+reg bowl 300,000
+ncaa champs 2 m
any 4 or less winning season remainder of contract buyout 1 m

 

[UTK]

Leach would be terrible in the SEC.

Why? I think he'd kill it here.

 

[UTK]

And dont say Leaches teams don't play defense. Simply not true. In fact Wazzou has had some of the best defense in the country the last 2-3 years

 

[EZE]

We will be 2-8 or 1-9 going into a bye and then the Mizzou game. I don’t see him coaching that game.

Leach has in fact picked up on defense at Wazzou.

 

[mickeyvol]

He is not a recruiter. Defense is an afterthought. Air raid offence has never produced consistent wins in the SEC.

 

[T-for-Tennessee]

I don't think there is any doubt that the Vols will 1-7 by Halloween. How's that for a fright? This team might win 3 games, but Pruitt isn't going anywhere for at least one more season. We just have to sit back and enjoy the pain.

 

[Pineyvol]

Will we beat UAB?

At this point would it even matter??

 

[UTK]

He is not a recruiter. Defense is an afterthought. Air raid offence has never produced consistent wins in the SEC.

Defense is an after thought? No. Lmao. Theyve had great defense the past couple years. He's never been at a school that could draw in high level recruits so that's unknown.

We are going to be at the Dirty Oar for the USCjr game. Mark your calendar and come on in....

 

[1Volnation]

I only know one “connected” person in Knoxville.
He told me that if we lose the next 5, that the money people would pony up the buyout.
We have never started 1-7. That would be too big an embarrassment for our big donors.
Fulmer would be interim and they would go after a “proven power 5 winner”. (I laughed when he said that but he says you don’t know how angry Georgia State made them).

So, can we win one of these next 5:
At Florida
Georgia (after a bye week)
MSU
At Bama
USC

Pruitt has to just win one of those games and then get 2 more out of UAB, UK, MU, Vandy.
But, one of those two wins must be Vandy.
Our donors could, I’m told, live with 4-8 and 2 SEC wins if we don’t finish last in the East and Pruitt can hang onto Bailey and a decent 25-30 ranked recruiting class.

If we can somehow win tomorrow, the only sure losses left are UGA and Bama.
But, if we get our clocks cleaned by UF, we may just fall apart.

*** Many grains of salt needed, of course. This is just one guy. But, he’s not a liar and he’s a wealthy blue blood and travels in circles that I could never get anywhere.near.

Wouldn't or wont?

I'm not a sunshine pumper but there are freshman starting on this team both on offense and defense...kids that are trying their best out there...
there is no magic to perform...one year of Pruitt recruits and several of them starting and you want to throw them all under the bus....
Think long and hard about what you are saying....
How about just criticizing players you see not playing up to par then give examples of who Pruitt can put in to improve the situation and let us see how much you know about football...there is improvement but you can't be blinded by despair and see it...some overall improvement is all I ask for because I was not a sunshine pumper to begin the season

 

[zydane47]

Will we beat UAB?

UAB is currently up 35-3 against South Alabama......I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say we won’t beat them

 

[mickeyvol]

Oh tell me more about this great PAC 12 defense. Blue font not even needed!

 

[rockydoc]

UAB is better than Ga St. no way Pruitt survives that scenario.
