I agree there are a ton of good reasons.
1. 3 TN guys rumored to have interest and want the job
2. The cupboard won't be bare of talent for once.
3. A reasonable schedule next year where a new guy could win 8-9 games in year 1.
4. Next year's in state recruiting class being an ELITE building block class.
5. Staff turn over which lessens the amount that needs to be paid in buyouts.
6. Future scheduling gets harder
7. Pruitt burning bridges with coaches
8. There seems to be only 1 person on campus who likes Pruitt.
There's 8 reasons right there and I am sure there are a few more.
