Why is UT allowing Pruitt to coach in playoffs?

UT fans, you cool with watching your new head coach that your paying millions coach for Bama when he could be earning his money in Knoxville?
I’m a bit surprised. Your not some D3 school, when you hire your coach he should be on campus. How does it help you to watch him help your rival win a title?
Do you think he will intentionally try to lose it? Will Saban fire him after Clemson?

This board asked the same thing when Smart did it. In hindsight, it was a class move from a classy guy.

Kirby did the same. Pissed alot of folks off.
And that was before the early signing period existed.

1)because they're scared he'll back out like everyone else.
2)he won't be part of a final 4 team for a while, if ever.

You're assuming Tennessee had a choice. They were already desperate. If they really wanted Pruitt and he said he wanted to coach through the playoffs then he coaches through the playoffs.

honestly..what do you think the alternatives are? Pruitt straight up told UT he was coaching through the playoffs bottom line. So UT could either say "ok, that's fair", or pass on him and continue searching.
Do you really think UT fans would rather be scraping the counrtry for their 20th choice today rather than going ahead and having a coach locked in and thinking about his hires?

As usual, a shallow minded thread from The Farm. Who would want to hire a guy who'll up and leave you at the drop of a hat for another job when they've committed to their present one? I guess that's ok down in Auburn, but not so much at quality programs.
Old adage: If a person will steal FOR you, they'll steal FROM you.

It's a win-win for UT.
If bama's defense does well: "that's the new head coach with a brilliant defensive mind"
If bama's defense sucks: "his mind wasn't in it, too busy planning at UT"
Everyone already knows where he will coach next year and he's already recruiting.

I'm not sure what their recruiting class looks like but I would see this as some free marketing for your new coach, especially if the defense plays good.

This is a power move by Fulmer. Gumps will win the NC and the main story will be how Tennessee has a NC-caliber head coach.
Once again Fulmer makes the Gump puppets dance.

Kirby didn't get the Auburn job in 2012 for the same reason.

Pruitt isn’t gonna burn bridges to Bama. Whether his first shot at HC works out or not, there’s a good chance he ends up back in Tuscaloosa one of these days.

So Tennessee could say their coach was in a meaningful Bowl in 2017

This is the gentlemanly thing to do, and the right thing to do. If the SEC starts the trend of taking each other's coaches while they're involved and post season, demanding that they relinquish their current coaching position, it could get ugly. What goes around comes around.
