I will say this... Vandy at least has had continuity at the coaching position and the opportunity to recruit, bring in and develop players within a scheme. Derek Mason is not a bad coach tbh, he does decently to keep Vandy at or near bowl eligibility considering the level at which they’re overmatched talentwise.

UT on the other hand has had 4 OC’s in as many years, and 3 DC’s in the same time. We’ve had to switch to completely different schemes on both sides of the ball, so a lot of Butch’s leftovers don’t exactly mesh in Pruitt’s system. Not to mention that Butch’s talent development and in-game utilization of players was piss poor. Most of the upperclassmen Pruitt inherited were underdeveloped and he himself admitted they basically had to be taught like freshmen.



I’m not trying to absolve or excuse that we’ve lost to Vandy 3x in a row. One single loss to them is embarrassing, three is just ridiculous. Almost every Vol fan (myself included) goes into each year expecting to beat Vandy and Kentucky, regardless of circumstance. If we ever want to amount to anything again as a football program, we have to go back to annually kicking their asses as usual. I’m only pointing out that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to some of these percentages.
