Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

If you look at UT Football from a business standpoint, how do the numbers justify keeping Pruitt? Youve let your coach sit out there 30 days with no direct endorsement from higher ups, and this is so similar to 2016 when EVERYONE knew Butch was a deadman walking but they still kept him. We have a world-class marketing department but I see no possible way they can cut up a promo of us scoring 4.5 PPG to sell season tickets with CJP at the helm.

Fire Pruitt. Hire Freeze. Sell Tickets. Score Points. Win Games.

They do not (seriously) care about winning, that's just the end of it

Is swan the first “insider” to say he’s staying ??

Define insider

Hubb's gumbo?

That stain will NEVER come out....

I’d rather eat a bowl of Jimmy Hyams’ gumbo than watch another season of Tennessee football with Pruitt coaching it.

[KnoxLandcruiser]

They’re essentially rolling with Pruitt as the interim at this point

 

[SLICKYINC]

Dat avi tho

Mmmhmmm yep

 

[InstrumentalVol]

We're waiting 30+ days to fire a defensive-minded coach that lost 7 games this year by double digits.

nerd.

Liked for brevity.

Dont exactly like it if HT, Crouch & Wanya go but honestly if we trade them for a coach like Freeze sign me up today. Im worried about Tennessee Football 2025 not 2021.

You know how this goes... we lose them all and still won’t even call Freeze

 

[Orange Studs]

y'all something else. HE. GONE.

Pinky swear?

I'm still on the UT train. I'll bleed orange until the day I die. It just sucks that I care more about our football team than our administration does.

Before I get the typical VolNation backlash for people who skim a message, I am NOT recommending this. I am 1) Asking if this has ever happened and 2)Asking if this could work with the right personalities.

What if Pruitt is out as HC...he's fed up, he doesn't want to be head coach anymore. But, he (unlike some of us) see a lot of potential on the defensive side of the ball and wants to finish what he started. Could you see a situation where he steps back to DC (and defensive play caller), Garner comes in as a DL coach, Steele as ILB, and Ansley remains Co-DC and focuses on DBs. Then you hire your CEO head coach like Marrone. Has a HC ever stepped back to a coordinator role the following year? Obviously a pipe dream but what if Pruitt, Ansley, and Steele are going out there to say we will be there next year.

This thought started when the Pruitt to Texas rumors started. I thought...Pruitt's family is settled down in Knoxville at this point and he'd just be going to a DC job with new kids. Why couldn't he stay with kids he recruited? Are egos the only thing that get in the way of that? Looking for a sincere response but expecting I'll be blasted fOR RecCOmEnDiNG CoRNbrEaD poSsIBly sTaY.

 

[Chuckie]

Mmmhmmm yep

Somebody put pruitts face on that

Unreal how we were able to hold on to Barnes with the current administration. Stinks from the top down. I firmly believe Fulmer is a huge problem and can't stop meddling with the coaches. Didn't he have to report a violation cause he coached the OL for a few practices?
