Pruitt making millions as a head coach in the SEC shows two things:
(1) Anyone can make it big in America if they catch a break; and
(2) UT made the worst coaching hire in SEC history...hiring a guy that 10 years ago was a coordinator for a high school, that never even worked as a high school head coach to turn their program around at the most critical time in their history.

UT set themselves back 10 years with this hire, at least.

I see it this way. You can be a great manager in your office, but that doesn't mean you would be a great business owner. A business owner has to manage every aspect of his or her business. Pruitt is a great coordinator, but he lacks the skills to be a good head coach. There are so many other responsibilities to being a head coach that I don't think Pruitt realized when he took the job. From dealing with the media to arranging team transportation, etc. I don't think he knew what he was getting into. I think he will be a better coordinator when this head coaching comes to an end. When he was at UGA, he had others to blame when the team wasn't winning games. As a head coach, you can only blame yourself. If UT goes 4-8 or worse, I can see him resigning after this season. He doesn't seem to have the patience to keep up this rebuilding process
