Pruitt's failure

Pretty sad list I am seeing. Good coaches don’t pan out here. We need a dumb coach that wins at a P5 level over a young brilliant tactician from Toenail Shard Tech. I’d rather have Mark Stoops than a guy from Tiny U. I’m nauseous

 

There are definitely guys from the right Tiny U I’d rather roll the dice on than Mark Stoops

 

Les Miles isn't exactly killing it at Kansas.

 

There ain't a coach out there right now that has me even remotely confident about not being right back in this position in 2024.

 

Tennessee's best chance at becoming a winning football program in the near future is to jump ship to the ACC.

 

You spelled MAC wrong.

 

Nah, if we join the Coastal, we should be good for a (division) title once every eight years—it’s in the rules

 

Agreed, which is why I suggest keep Pruitt at least 1 more season or two. See if the Covid factors in as well as #2, try and be patient the alternative is same story different coach.

 

At least Pruitt doesn’t give me the urge to sucker punch him.

 

Although we might be trending in that direction

 

He will be here 2 more Years while Freeze goes to SC and guarantees us starting every year knowing we will have at least 4 losses.

 

If it makes you feel better, Freeze would forget how to coach seconds after the end of the press conference.

 

But the logic that the best coach for TN wins anywhere holds no water. Would you not admit that Saban has been better at AL than MichSt, LSU, or Miami Dolphins. Why did Spurrier have success at UF and not so much after? If you want to bring up Les Miles then answer 2 questions.

1. Would Pruitt have fared better at KU?
2. Would Miles have won more at UT?

 

I postulate that if you can find a way to win at KY, that may be more valuable than the ability to win at Austin Peay, UTC, LaTech, or Cinn. It’s happened before Bear

 

Think mark stoops would make us respectable, not embarrassing, whatever. Probably never beat Florida, Georgia, or Alabama.

he was 1-4 against Butch, and he’s 1-2 against Pruitt. I mean, the best Kentucky football team since the fall of Ancient Greece got ran out of knoxville

 

You're def right.

Were the roles reversed, Miles would def be more successful here than what we've seen. I for one would welcome Miles with open arms and pocketbook. At the very least, even if we weren't successful we'd know that someone competent was at the helm.

 

I think we can all agree that the moment that extension got signed this summer, we all felt pretty queasy.

 

Nah, at the time I felt like the sole reason for it was because Fulmer saw a lot of himself in Pruitt and gave him an unwarranted extension to give him some security.

Now, it just wreaks of doubling down on a poorly placed bet.

 

I am not extolling Miles as the end all be all. He chews grass. But he would have won a few more games. Maybe be a caretaker. And he wasn’t what I was getting at originally. I am really saying someone who has won some SEC games is maybe a less risky hire than An up and comer.
