Same as i always have been. Want us to win. We either will or won't. I want to be entertained along the way, and do like Pruitt. Would have loved to play for him. Football coach. If he cant do it, im really not sure who can, besides the big 3 or 4.
I just want to see some in game stuff. How does he adjust, clock management, where does he go conservative if at all, etc. Things like that. I do have confidence in CP, first time I can say that about a Tennessee head coach in about a damn decade.
I think his football coaching will be fine. I was worried his off the field responsibilities would piss him off. I'm glad he's got Fulmer to glad hand
In that sense, fulmer in place as the AD who hired him is ideal. Never knew it would get so bad that fulmer as AD would be a huge upgrade
He’s injected testosterone into the program for first time in a decade. Nice to see someone treat it like football rather than goddam pattycake.
It did have the feel of competitive dance with jones. Androgynous. His nickname should have been Androgynous Jones, but I think I made that pitch before.
Absolutely about Fulmer, that's one look that may be overlooked in CP's potential success. Enough pressure to win without having to babysit boosters and make sure they're happy.
I expect to see some mistakes. He’s a first-timer. But just learn from it, and don’t continually make them on purpose and tell me that you were right
He said yesterday, answering a question about Fulmer as his AD I think, that he expects to make mistakes. He said "10 years from now, hopefully, I'll be a better head coach than I am right now". There aren't many coaches that self deprecating
Agree. Learn from your mistakes, and also show flashes of having your team play over their heads so that we have cause to think there's something special there once the mistakes are cleared up
I’d infinitely rather a coach to have a steeper learning curve off the field, than on. Anyone can learn to handle the media, boosters, expectations, being the “CEO”, etc. If you’re perfect at all of those things, but a shitty coach, you’re not going to last long enough for it to matter much, anyway.
These days I'm more excited about the Preds and even the Titans, but I won't mind actually rooting for the Vols to win for a change.
I like the Titans and even though they could be one of the best teams in the league this year, but I’m still way more excited about Tennessee and always will be.
We have been used to a [uck fay]ing [unt cay] for a couple of years. My Tennessee Volunteers should be winning 8 games minimum from now on
I go about 0.5 times a year but wouldn't if not for a free seat in a great location (bottom of upper deck close to fifty with nothing but a rail in front of me) It's nothing like my childhood.
I expect them too. I just meant I want to see how he handles in game decisions before going "all in".
