My brother’s FIL is one of those support the coach at all times or you’re not a true fan guys, and for about a 2 hour period even he was done with Butch
I like it. On calling out some of his players after the spring game “It’s a reality check. I’m not sure some of these guys are used to being told exactly the way it is. That’s one thing that they’re going to get from us.” What Phillip Fulmer told Pruitt when Fulmer hired him “He said, ‘The head coach at Tennessee is going to be judged by three things: Florida, Georgia and Alabama.’ So, where are we at compared (to those schools)? That’s how hard we need to work. And I knew that when I took this job."
Glad you fellows agree because, unless he follows a path different from that followed by of the last two, he's on his way out.
I think Dooley understood it, he just had no business leading an SEC program. Not sure Butch did. I think Pruitt inherently does.
I still like the earlier idea (Groves? NYY? Card? Jay?) that every Tennessee head coaching contract should have a clause that immediatley voids any buyout upon your second loss to either Vandy or KY.
