He was an ops guy for Miami in 2014. Got a position coaching job in 2015. Then he was a quality control guy at Georgia in 2016 and had just taken a WR job at FIU in December 2016 when butch scooped him up. The guy was a couple years removed from coaching high school and his career was already going in reverse after catching his big break.

Terrible hire.

Yeah...after the fact terrible hire...but we didn’t get him from high school. Two really respected HC’s hired him before us.

Got a position coaching job at Georgia on the final staff for a guy who got fired. That was his only full time position coach job he worked.

Bad hire when we made it. Every offensive hire we made last year was bad. Larry Scott was inexperienced. Canales career was going in reverse. Beard was inexperienced and going in reverse.

Terrible hire.

will spring be more like 7 on 7 passing camps because of the thin ol or do you expect it to be physical. I can see making a case either way.

pruitt is going to want his team to be a physical, hard-nosed bunch that plays aggressively and makes plays on both sides of the ball.

Multiple assistant coaches have said they want to build the vols into the kind of team nobody wants to play at home or away. You do that by recruiting elite talent and having better players than the other team. You bolster the talent with a relentless style of play.

This is pruitt's first spring and his first chance to establish what kind of program he wants to build at tennessee. There's no reason to expect tennessee's new staff to cut corners or pull back on the reins due to the roster situation.

Changing the culture has to start now by establishing how practices are going to be from the standpoints of intensity and how you practice.

Pruitt believes you can have physical practices that also minimize the risk of injury by keeping players off the ground and managing how contact is handled. Certainly tennessee will be thin this spring with limited numbers on the offensive line, and the vols will have to manage the situation and monitor the recovery of those players. But it's no time to play it safe.

He wasn’t a position coach at UGA. He was WR coach at Miami. Nobody KNEW they were bad hires. Had to wait for it to become reality.

Don't pick us - that's it. Carry that over to the football program.

Just one comment on Butch's staff at the end - what you saw was the result of quality assistant coaches knowing that Butch's time in Knoxville was limited. They saw his system, they saw him try to leave, they saw him ridiculed in the national media, they saw the collapse at the end of 2016, they saw the players and disunity. Wasn't going to get quality hires unless they were between jobs and needed a one year deal.

That was the joke, Moran. Where would I find gentlemen in the recruiting forum? Do I have to spell it for for you? : popcorn:

Sorry you didn't see the sarcasm in mine. The Moran is on you now. I made it really obvious with the bold "gentlemen" and that was an insult calling us "gentlemen."

I think I'm offended but I'm not sure. I might need a safe space soon.
