Title: Pruitt out at UT Post by: 2Stater on January 18, 2021, 11:52:37 AM https://247sports.com/college/alabama/LongFormArticle/Jeremy-Pruitt-fired-Tennessee-Vols-football-reaction-159498782/?fbclid=IwAR1EdG14-XmUtk4iqwaVxs_zHK7f5ojyPKUnIOAj5jFp_iOcqh-_1VuMgpM
Quote Jeremy Pruitt is out as head coach at the University of Tennessee, the hammer coming down on Monday as the Vols decided to move on after three seasons, according to Yahoo Sports college football insider Pete Thamel. Last week, Tennessee agreed to terms with former Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele to join Pruitt's coaching staff in a non-coordinator role and he will reportedly become the interim coach.

Title: Re: Pruitt out at UT Post by: 2Stater on January 18, 2021, 02:55:04 PM Just saw the presser on PF. Sounds like there are several very serious violations that were committed by several coaches and staff. 10 people in all were fired.
:popcorn2: Title: Re: Pruitt out at UT Post by: McBaman on January 18, 2021, 04:44:05 PM Sounds like the whole story hasn't come out yet. Pruitt may be toxic when it does. What we know now sounds pretty bad.
Here's the ESPN story which has more details. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30735416/sources-tennessee-football-coach-jeremy-pruitt-internal-investigation Title: Re: Pruitt out at UT Post by: pmull on January 19, 2021, 09:53:20 AM Rumor: Smokey has entered the transfer portal.

I wish I could get a Happy Meal like that. Quote Tennessee football was reportedly paying recruits with cash that was stored inside a McDonald’s bag. Tennessee was giving recruits a happy meal from McDonald’s that was a pile of cash in lieu of a cheeseburger, fries and a cheap toy. According to Dan Patrick, Tennessee was handing out McDonald’s bags of cash to recruits in an effort to get them to commit and sign with the Vols. This is all part of an ongoing investigation into recruiting violations under the watch of former head coach Jeremy Pruitt. And Phat Phil ratted us out for just such an accusation. KARMA; YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

Title: Re: Pruitt out at UT Post by: McBaman on January 19, 2021, 07:07:50 PM Pruitt's lawyer is making loud noises and it sounds like he has a case for some kind of wrongful termination. More for the way UTen handled the matter than the facts. This could get ugly.

Without facts it's hard to have a discussion. But I'd like to comment on a phrase used several times in Knoxville recently: "The fish rots from the head down." NONSENSE. It rots from the gut up. Who hasn't seen a dead fish!!! HINT: Blame the assistant coaches!

On balance this is good for UTenn as it gets the drama of Pruitt/Fulmer behind them. And maybe they get a good coach as well. I imagine UCF is a little irked about loosing two high profile employees.f

It is gonna be a new day for him. RTR!
Title: Re: Pruitt out at UT Post by: pmull on January 27, 2021, 10:51:34 AM Josh Heupel is not a bad hire under the circumstances. He coached at the powerhouse UCF program that was able to beat a four loss Auburn team. :yawn:

He'll need to go shopping in the transfer portal asap. :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: Title: Re: Pruitt out at UT Post by: 2Stater on January 28, 2021, 07:50:10 AM Pruitt headed to the NY Giants? :o

Pruitt needs some training from higher level coaches and he can deliver money in the nfl and it won't hurt anything. RTR!
