Well, Mullen has experience coaching up guys without recruit rankings from his time at MSU. Maybe Trask can be his success story.If Trask has some big games, he’ll become a media darling like Mustache. His story is too good. It’ll bring great attention to the program.
“Rivalry”@DK_Thompson: If Tennessee scores only 3 points, that is the fewest points they’ve scored since 1994 in the rivalry.
Please, please Peyton, save us! The team you could never beat, and we've lost to 27 of the last 34 times we've played, has crushed us again!

$100 bucks says he waits to fire him and insert himself as the interim savior until after the SC game. He’s not gonna subject himself to playing MSU, Bama, Jawja or the Cawks.Yup -- ol' Phil will have to grudgingly come down from the ivory tower to coach for a bit while his buddy Peyton finds the next golden coach for UT. Shucks.
Year 2 recruiting is going to soar after this announcement.That’s gonna set Pruitt up for success in the locker room no doubt.

I’m available at the right price with a big buyout. And I have just as much D-1 head coaching experience as Pruitt did when he got the job. And I could probably win as many SEC games as he will this season
How the hell do you let something like this get out?
The plane's on fire - let's fly it into a mountain.
No one is taking this job - I mean no one.
Why would they give a first time head coach this type of buyout?
