Next step is to can Pruitt

Pruitt replace Golding next year? Any chance?

I like Pruitt, but if he's connected with recruiting scandal or paying players then he might be too toxic to bring back at least for the near future IMO.

Liberty might have an opening soon ...

What a shame.

This is fat Phil trying to get out of Jeremy's buyout. He will use the NCAA again to screw him it of his buyout money. I have always felt that this was a bad decision on Pruitt's part to go to 10rc. Phil has proven time and again that he is a snake and his only loyalty is too himself. I hope that Jeremy Pruitt is successful, but 10rc is a rathole until the fat one is put out to pasture for good.

You hate to see it.

bless their hearts...................

If Phil would have just worried about coaching his team rather than destroying our team.....they’d still be awful but a lot of Tide fans might be a bit empathetic.
He built the gallows, let him rot on them.

This is playing out about how we expected when Pruitt took the job, but with an extra topping of backstab. Fulmer is looking at ways to fire Pruitt for cause, saving the buyout, which also means Saban can't bring him back on-staff at $40k/yr at Tennessee's expense.

The upside (for us) is that no quality coach will go into that snake hole until Fulmer is gone.

Dont know when it happens...but Freeze is waiting on Pruitt's departure. Jmo..but that makes sense to me since Pruitt got that extension last year. The money will get worked out. I still cant believe Pruitt walked in to that dumpster fire. But...he did. Sounds like they are looking to find a way through the investigation.
And the money dudes will get Fulmer off his case if they can bring him in.

TN boards are all a flutter about the "big" names who might take the job. Although, several are mentioning Gus as a possiblility!

 

[jashleyren2]

I don't know why anyone would take this job, especially with Tennessee clearly trying to get out of paying Pruitt what they agreed to.

And, if anyone thought that all those commitments they got in the first half of 2020 didn't smell funny, then have your sinus cavity checked for too much orange buildup. It's catching. Wear a mask.
