Anyone who thinks the University allowed him to fly to CA to make sure HT stays on the team just to be fired soon is ridiculous. If Pruitt wasn’t going to be the guy he wouldn’t of made that trip.

If they were already sending Steele? There was room on the private jet.

I’ve been frustrated as well. Who wouldn’t be after a 3-7 season? I truly believe corona had a major impact on the development of this football program as a whole. The trajectory of the program after Pruitt’s first two years was upward. Let’s add a couple key pieces to the staff in Steele and Garner, have solid quarterback play, bring in another solid recruiting class, and let the chips fall where they may next season. I happen to think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised with how next season turns out.

I agree with all of this..... I’m not sold on Pruitt but I agree there were reasons for last season and am curious if he can turn it around with better qb play and a full off season.

where do you think the media outlets are getting their info? lol.

what are they "reporting" on? really?

they're reporting on the same speculation and innuendo that we're losing our minds over here.

no one is pretending anything...oh wait, yes we are...we've been pretending we're in the middle of a coaching search for going on 3 months now..........................................

lol.

You’re right. Thanks Coach Matthews, it’s like I’ve awoken from a fever dream.

that's fine, and i don't really disagree with you on any of this, i just don't think the university is responsible for answering to a bunch of questions that are simply gap fillers for a bunch of scenarios that have basically been made up out of thin air for 3 months.

we're mad b/c the university tell us what we already know? we created the situation that we want answers on....lol.

we have a coach. there is no search. there's a compliance investigation in progress that we've gotten outside counsel for.

basically everything else is made up, and comes from speculation and opinion.

I dont either.
That wasn't meant to be taken as they (UT) should fill in the blanks during the investigation but rather what they ve done and how the media and fans have reacted to that.

UT hasn't created the narrative that Pruitt is gone. Thats coming from the side that knows the least and doesn't make that decision anyway. That could change but right now there's nothing to support its going to happen.

Sorry for the confusion. I think we pretty much agree.

No, the problem was bringing in outside counsel to run a deep investigation. That takes time. When you turn things over to legal, you follow their process on their timeline.

They have a decision. They made it months ago. The investigation had the potential to change the decision. But they never needed that. Any coach on staff can be fired at any time, regardless of findings. They could have cleaned house in November and moved forward with a clean slate. That was not their decision. They could start firing next week or the week after or the week after that.

UT is moving forward. Fans and media continue to speculate while UT goes about business. The coaches are recruiting, in addition to having to re-recruit our own players. And some of them want to be re-recruited like they're a prize recruit. It's ridiculous. But you reap what you sow. And now we're reaping.

So basically,
-Certain people wanted rid of Pruitt so they try to castrate him with an investigation,
-Phil told him "keep working like heck Jermy, I'll take care of ya" (unless it means my job),
-they (certain people) sat back salivating, hoping something would turn up so they could f*** him out of his buyout,
-Amid RAMPANT national specualtion, they remain silent and gag Phil so they will have a multiple narratives available to explain actions depending on outcome of investigation
-Now, investigation is done and there is NO smoking gun,
-Trot out narrative B?, "What's all the fuss about people?" "We were just conducting business as usual, Pruitt has been and is still our coach.."
-"UT is back, please buy your season tickets now..."

I realize I have a pretty good imagination, but is this about the jist of it?

Mark me down as delusional and ridiculous. I still don’t think he will be our coach after Tuesday of this week.

I’m not doubting that he’s a smart dude. He’s obviously climbed a ladder. I think he’s become a bit of an urban legend at this point around here tho.

Yep. A lot of hype over a video tutorial. If he were The Godfather of RPO that people believe from watching that video, somebody would have snatched him up long before he got on as GA at UT.

“I have no facts to back this up”. Guessing like everyone else. Please don’t take that and run like it is fact.

Agreed

I’ll stick to what’s been admitted to here

a poster said that he and boosters were going to do their best to get fulmer and Pruitt fired and using ncaa violations would part of that.


nothing else needs to be said
