i have said this before i will say it again

Firing Pruitt would be the only thing worse than keeping Pruitt. If we fire him, no one worth a damn comes to coach and we will be stuck with the buyout and some retread or some "up and comer" coach who we will overpay and then wait 3-5 years and back to it again

The last thing we need to do is fire him just to fire him. Without a plan in place, our coaching search will end up being a joke as usual.

We have really dug ourselves a hole but I honestly think the only thing we can do right now is give him some time and let him salvage the recruiting class. If we end up going 2-10 and the recruiting class falls apart then I may revisit the idea of firing him because at that point there'd be no hope for the future.

I haven't followed Tenn's demise at all. Just really surprised at what's happened - maybe a little saddened that's it come to this.

So rather than start another thread on it:
1) Does CJP just not have the players?
2) Is he just in over his head? Hard to imagine someone who's been around such strong programs being that inept.
3) Bad staff - I thought he had some good assistants? No?
4) I've seen conspiracy posts, i.e., CJP is tanking the program but this makes no sense. If he fails there like he's doing, his HC'ing career is pretty much over. If he has plans beyond UTenn, he needs to get his act together.
5) Is UTenn so financially committed that they're stuck with Pruitt for now?

Would be interesting to see if/when UTenn gets back how they did it. Golden opportunity for somebody.
