Yeah fair point. But their Dad has made like 20 million dollars in the past decade and we are posting on a message board so I can see how their perspective might be different.
One guy said he wishes they'd bring back Butch and Dooley. One could recruit, the other could coach. This is one of you evil geniuses right?
Butch recruited well when he was lying to kids and parents, but that has a shelf life of about 1-2 years.
Grinds my gears people can't figure that out. Didn't it strike them as odd that half the recruiting class would transfer out after a season?
I mean anybody who claims to be a big fan and follow closely, yeah they’re dumb if they don’t get it. But just the average walking around person in Neyland in Saturday? They aren’t looking close enough. People have a hard time believing that a major university could possibly hire a coach to make $3m a year and that coach be legitimately just dumber than shit. Just like many would have a hard time believing the billionaire who hired him is dumber than shit.
Well what’s decent? Of course you can get a decent coach, but the decent coaches that can be had most easily are the guys who you know probably don’t have a real high ceiling. I think Tennessee fans may finally be at the point where that’s acceptable though.
Yep. If and when UT wants a decent (or god forbid, championship) coach, they’ll actually have to pay for one. Until that happens, might as well keep Pruitt, because we won’t do better than him, or Dooley, or Butch.
Tennessee will pay a coordinator a million plus dollars, they did it for Monte (I believe the first million dollar coordinator) and are doing it for both Ansley and Chaney. Why the hell they won't spend 5 or 6 million on a head coach is beyond me.
I think the only reason the assistant pool is as big as it is right now is because Pruitt took less for himself.
