Egos are killing UT. Killing Auburn right now too. Frustrating that Fulmer is digging his heels in on this. Nothing more than pride and stubbornness with no basis in reality. IF they screw up and keep Pruitt and then are not able to bring in an Art Briles on offense or a Mason/Muschamp on defense they will cost this program more time in the gutter. Hopefully someone with testicles will give Fulmer an ultimatum.
 
Riooooooooottttttttttttttt

Hey, protests and marches are endorsed by our coach, so he can't really complain about one designed to run him out of town on a rail! If we can't fill TBA for a basketball game, maybe we can overrun campus with 25k people protesting the AD and football coaches incompetence.
 
Its a lot easier to win in Myrtle Beach then it is in Knoxville. Chadwell has never dealt with the attitudes of the big dogs, never had to outscheme some of the best in the business. Never had to worry about the media and fans jumping his throat when things don't go well. Chadwell is not ready for the TN job much in the same as Pruitt.
I think Chadwell is more likely to adapt to that kind of environment. Pruitt is stubborn as hell and doesn't want to. And Chadwell most certainly has more potential than him as a head coach at this point. We know for a fact that Pruitt can't handle this job. It's time to take a chance. It would be insanity to hang on to this gump
 
Same ol crap. Some supporting PF and a faction not. The faction that isn’t is making the case for a complete overhaul including fulmer as part of the deal. And that complicates the entire process hence why more time is needed and also this investigation needs to either highlight what UT can and can’t do with the information once its all put together. I think the outcome however is that these coaches have done a very good job of separation from church and state on the major issues and only minor ones will show themselves...but it all depends how deep the digger is.

Can’t we just take PF out of the replacement plan? Maybe doing so would make him more open to replacing JP.
 
You don't, but if you don't have the guy lined up now or you think it's possible he may be available next year why would you jump now when you don't have the guy lined up?
To rid yourself of someone who is actively sabotaging a program. There are multiple good coaches out there. There are hundreds who can do the job better than JP.

Hell, Arkansas fired Chad Morris after his 2nd year. There was no talk about a year 0 or building a program. They hired an OL coach and tied UT in wins during his 1st year after 2 winless SEC seasons.
 
"I think Bobo is going to be Beamer's OC. Friend and Bobo are probably closer friends or as close of friends as Friend and Pruitt. Friend get his last UT check in a few weeks and doesn't have a new deal. Don't think there's been any real talk about a new one so he's looking for security." -Hubbs
He shouldn’t accept that check and pay the other ones back cause he’s a **** coach. Wtf does he need? 6 star recruits?

I.e. nothing is moving one way or the other regarding Pruitt, as of now.

That AV update was very disappointing, though. Even I’m leaning towards Pruitt being the coach next year, which will be a monumental missed opportunity.
 
If we make the wrong hire? We have made the wrong hire multiples times, but we get instate kids with new coaches and new life in the program.

We won't be able to recruit ****, now that Pruitt took a **** on Howard. No coach in TN will let him thru those doors because they don't want to happening to their players. It's embarrassing.
It is, but a new staff can repair those relationships. If you compound the issue by hiring the wrong guy again you can do even more harm than good. It's all about getting the right person and if that's what they're waiting for I'm fine with that. Rather take the time and get the right fit than repeat the same endless cycle.

I want Pruitt gone too, but if we don't have the right guy, with the right fit lined up there's no point in making a move, better to play the long game.
 
The ones still defending Pruitt or saying give him another year is the equivalent of Pruitt continuously playing JG.


Makes you want to beat your head against wall.
i don't think anyone is defending Pruitt. you really can't defend him....the body of work is the body of work.

but there is a point where it'll become counterproductive to keep railing on it....not sure we're there yet lol. but no one is defending him.

there's NO reason anyone can give, based on his accomplishments or lack thereof, that justifies keeping him. rather, it's about the external circumstances and situation that may dictate the need to keep him.

now, you can disagree with the notion of what candidates are/should be considered by the folks that are making the decisions, and that's fine, i might agree with most of that, but the fact is if the folks making this call aren't getting the feedback they want from the guy(s) they want, they very likely could stick with pruitt by default....

and that, while it will never be popular, could wind up being the right call.

i do know this, every time we've reacted w/out a plan, we've wound up with a terrible hire because we've NOT gotten who we wanted originally.

TN is past taking chances. They've done that 4 hires in a row. Find a proven winner. Who's has P5 experience. Mickey Mouse needs to take another job before he should even be considered at TN.
