re: Rumors of a growing rift between Pruitt and Donut Phil

His ceiling is unknown. He made fricking Rutgers relevant for the first time since 1869. Sure, it didn't work out in the NFL but Tennessee fans saying he's a mediocre coach because he didn't win a natty at Rutgers are complete morons.

I don't think he had to win a title at Rutgers, but I think he showed enough to know he isn't the next super coach. He isn't the next Nick Saban or Urban Meyer.

And unfortunately for Tenn that is what they need- the next super coach. They need someone out of this world to reboot that program in the face of all the adversity it goes up against. It is scratch off lottery odds, but that is the best they are going to get.

Frankly they need to never hire a retread ever again. They need to hire up-and-comers with short leases, maybe even grind through them on a three year clip until they find the next Saban or kill the program trying.
