How does Dabo convince his coaches to stay? Or maybe he is just really good at finding guys who won't leave?

That is so rare this day in age to have both coordinators, and most of the position coaches, on an uber-successful team stay for many years and not take other jobs.

Because he treats his best employees really well and it is like a family there?

A novel concept, only in the football realm. In private industry, this is just basic common sense and best practice.

I can't wait to see who gets the scoop (if there is a scoop). I bet it will be some member of the national media or some rando that has little to do with covering the program. Local media and the folks on the beat have stuff get flown over their head all the time. Then they chime in with "this has been in the works" or "behind the scenes this was brewing for a while" or some other BS reason why they knew it all along but didn't report it. If anyone near the program were likely to get it, I guess it would be Ubben.

There would be no lack of interest

Not being ugly, but there isn't really a new crop or generation of Vol fans coming along that will pick up the slack and lack of interest from many Vol fans who are growing apathetic.

I know, I know, if you're a fan ... support ... not a true fan ... I've heard it all.
Just saying that apathy is real for many, and could impact things.

Not arguing or anything towards you.

The VQ posters were just guessing hoping for e-cred later. The show cause comment and the Mims comment both show they don't know how the current UT internal investigation works.

There will be several more troll attempts before the actual decision is made. Everyone should wait for the national guys or the mods of TOS to report. Everything else is a guess or troll attempt.

This post - which I just read someone suggesting this was AP saying Pruitt wouldt leave to go be DC voluntarily. Which I assumed was common sense? Why would he voluntarily leave a HC gig to be Sabans DC

AP’s response there was to the question “Would Pruitt leave on his own?” Not would he be fired or not.

because he doesnt have "experience" lol or his offense wont work in big boy football. This whole forum wants freeze so bad. But they forget how much he actually underachieved at ole miss then shoved that program in the dirt. I like freeze myself. but he isnt a realistic option. The truth here is TN isnt a name that attracts big time coaches anymore. The hires of the last 10 years have done nothing but damage the image of this university. Tennessee doesnt mean crap to kids these days. all they care about is Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Clemson, Ohio State. all the programs who are winning and constantly in the top 25. Ill support any coach who thinks they can come in here and do a good job. This job is extremely difficult. But if we get around year 3 or 4 and there hasnt been progress in development and we still are not competitive i will start to question it. I was up to giving Pruitt a 4th year until i really read and understood how toxic he is with his staff and higher ups behind the scenes. Lets this play out guys. Maybe Boyd and Plowman have this thing handled.

It's going to be a Bruce Feldman, Brett McMurphy or Chris Low type that breaks this. I think it was Feldman who broke Sark to Texas.

I will say that we have potentially been underplaying the odds of Fulmer stepping in and taking this HC position. I don't think it's likely, but I think there's like a 15% chance. If you consider what some posters have claimed about Fulmer's daily involvement in the program, you'd have to think he's at least considered pulling a Barry Alvarez. He'll have his lieutenants around: Steele, Tee, Graham,

That's why all this hatred being spewed at Pruitt kind of gets under my skin. I want a new coach too, but the hatred has gotten put of hand.

And our support system absolutely sucks. What they have done by backstabbing Pruitt makes me wanna puke. Just fire the man and move on.

I agree..... it makes me laugh that we are this intense with compliance when you look around the league are getting away with..... we lost a really good coach in Bruce pearl over a rule they changed the very next year.....LSU’s coach is on tape doing way worse offenses and he is still coaching.

I don't know if Chadwell's offense will work in the SEC or not, but I'd like to see him with SEC players executing his offense.
It worked pretty good against a very good BYU team (that was much better than the team that beat us the year prior).
I haven't looked at rankings, but I'd suspect BYU's talent level is much, much, higher/better than CCU's.

The truth is, Chadwell is a really high ceiling but really low floor kind of hire.

Not hammering you, just chit chat.

Where do they seem confident he’s returning? All I’ve noticed from them, just like always, is they’re not speculating or feeding on rumors.

They’ve been saying for a while now until the investigation is over they don’t know what’s going to happen. He could be fired, he could stay. They don’t know. But currently Pruitt is the coach and that’s what they report on.

If he’s let go they will say something like, “as we’ve reported for weeks the investigation had to conclude before any decision was made. And this is the decision…”

Do you think he’s gone? Whats you thoughts?
