More transfers? LOL

Whatever TN is doing, I'm sure the dwags are doing ten times worse.

 

[TechRush]

Like no one could see this coming when he was hired. Pruitt seems to have an unstable personality.

The rumor was that Dawgs will be pulled into the Mims investigation.

I'm sure they'll have quality coaches just beating down their doors after this

6 coaches in 13 years. LOL.

After having 2 in 30 years...

Looks like Tennessee delayed until they had enough evidence to fire with cause and avoid a buyout. I'm guessing a Pruitt lawsuit is next up and is gonna get messy unless the vowels settle

It's a dream opportunity for a talented young coach. Sometimes that is better than hiring Coach Bigname (see Michigan).

No it isn’t...
They’ll fire you in 3 years and dig for some lame reason to not pay a buyout. What dream opportunity is that?

I am assuming, perhaps erroneously, that the contract terms of an up-and-coming young coach would be favorable to an extended period of time to turn things around. The mondo buyout clause's are typically part of the big name coaches and not so much the younger/newer guys.

At some point, TN needs to come to terms that they need to start over.

 

[jts1207]

Yeah.... this was all done to get a new coach with no buyout. Hugh Freeze come on down

You can go from position coach to HC and have a huge budget with lots of incentives. It's a risk, but one many would take.

 

[knoxjacket]

They’re going to have to give someone a Collins-lengthened contract for a crap ton of money or roll the dice on another unproven coach.

the Kiffin->Dooley->Jones->Pruitt run has to be one of the worst hiring stretches in cfb history.

 

[AugustaJacket]

Saddest part about this is that Tenn is even further away from challenging in the SEC East.

Yep. Could see that coming from a mile away.

Kiffin and Dooley says hello.

 

[Olgoldandwhie]

Pruitt will get hired by one of the SEC factories.

So, how likely is it that he only started this at UT, after being at ugag & Bama ?
