UT and Pruitt already a dumpster fire; spending all his time at Bama

[oxrageous]

Just got this email from oxking:

"Listening to Bill King. A UT pundit is talking the Pruitt hire, very upset about what has been going on since he was hired. He is saying that Pruitt is spending all his time at Bama, helping Saban out with his defense and not working the Tennessee job. He wasn’t at the BBall game with all these recruits present, has only got one 3* commit and now the dead period. It is obvious this guy is very disappointed in what Pruitt has been doing so far and he thinks Fulmer is a complete flop in his negotiating skills, especially in handling the Pruitt/Bama connection. The natives are restless still.

He shows the disappointment that a lot of fans feel in the fact that Tenn had to settle for an up and comer rather than a proven commodity. He said the transition has been totally convoluted in the who process. What a dumpster fire UT has been. Hell, even worse than Florida and that is saying a lot."

Discuss.

Well. I am just shocked.

This is what happens when you land your 87th choice

I bet they’re missing the Life Champ about now.

Davenport, the UT Chancellor, is a dingbat. She doesn't know the first thing about football and didn't know what to do when Currie, the AD, was making UT the laughingstock of the nation in his multiple failed attempts at landing a coach. When Currie got down on his list to Mike Leach, Fulmer had had enough. Fulmer steamrolled Davenport to fire Currie and make him the AD. From that point on Fulmer was in charge. He's too full of hubris. Fulmer now has his boy, Jeremy Pruitt. Fulmer will dictate to Pruitt how his wants UT football to look. They will go back to making Neyland's Maxims center stage. Mike Leach is the Anti-Neyland. Fulmer grew up on the Maxims when he played at UT. It's the old game of the kicking game, field position, time of possession, defense, run the ball, three things happen when you pass and two of them are bad. They might even go back to running the single wing.

Yeah, that's really believable.

Awesome! Keep up the good work Vols!

How awesome would it be for them to come full circle and try to hire Butch back, and he holds out for a raise?

And keep his buyout!!

UT never fails to entertain.

Funny how Saban makes everyone feel ashamed for not being loyal to him, yet shows zero loyalty to anyone else, players included. he will process, pull schollys, put guys on back burners and drag them along, and make top 100 recruits pay their own way their first year just so nobody else could have them. Why his shtick has lasted so long is beyond me.

And, of course, the ever-popular

They're so proud to be bottom feeders of the human race

Too much lead in the moonshine. That's my guess.

I don't know whether to give this a "like" or a "dislike".

This arrangement made absolutely no sense for UT. It's one thing for FAU to be willing to wait out Kiffin (before Saban fired him) because they are a small time program in an also ran conference. To me this just proves how demeaning it is to be UT. You are so desperate you allow your new head coach to ignore you so he can try and win a national title for your cross division rival.
