Pruitt on the phone during Banks' arrest

"This is the silliest shit I've ever seen in my life...I got it, I understand. I've worked at four places I ain't never had no crap like this because there's people that say hey, something's not right"

"Some of these kids they don't have nobody at home to teach them how to do it"

Go ahead, do your civic duty man"

 

That last line made me laugh. Pruitt was adamant they walked Banks through the process with a state trooper when he got the original ticket, around the time his grandfather died.

He got a little fired up

 

Good for him. Can’t tell me they couldn’t have sent notice.

 

He’s right. We’re never going to be good again.

 

Also seems kind of odd that this footage has been released to the public.

 

Would love to have seen Pruitts reaction to hearing Banks’ comment about shooting cops.

Jesus.

Comment about running and testing their speed was pretty funny though.

 

Very odd

 

Conveniently odd.

 

FOIA, I am guessing.

 

You think that’s done after every arrest though? Or someone within the PD or the AD tipped them off to investigate?

 

seems like someone is trying to set some shut up to get Pruitt out.

 

I’m confused as to what the aim would be. It’s like someone would think this makes Pruitt look bad. It actually makes UT look bad.

 

Well if so they aren’t smart. There’s plenty bad you could say about Pruitt but he seems as good as they come about genuinely caring about players. And he didn’t really say anything problematic.

 

He took up for Banks without being too big a smartass

 

What is getting rid of Pruitt right now going to accomplish? It wouldn't be a good thing.

 

Pruitt is tied to fulmer. Fulmer pulled a pretty crazy ride to power and I doubt that’s setting good with our biggest booster.

I think this is more about setting the table on fulmer than anything, which I doubt Pruitt survives.

Because this does make the AD look pretty bad if they were blind sided by it.

 

Bingo. This is meant to end with an embarrassing letter firing him like the one Davenport got.

 

But it won't

 

The timing is telling. Right after our bye on a stretch that we're going to get our heads beat in week after week.

This isn't going to get anyone fired but just shows there's cracks in the dam.

 

It's more childish bullshit from people that should want better
