Not at all. He got screwed by boosters and an athletic department. The NFL is the pros... Not amateurs.

But doesn't acknowledging all of these violations and not reporting them just make it more likely he will get a show-cause?
And even if the attorney drops this, it could still be something the NCAA brings up now.
huh? Who acknowledging them?
none of this came from the NCAA. it all literally came from the UT compliance dept
UT making accusations against their own coach they didn't want, and didn't to pay a buyout to, and then, how convenient, let's not talk any specifics about what was actually done wrong, and let's get the media to not ask one damn tough question about it, ever

Also I would think if University officials were involved there is some legal recourse because they aided and abetted him and could even be argued they pressured him to violate NCAA rules which would put UT in jeopardy and void the with cause firing. This would be disastrous for the university.
Sounds to me like a little bit of a Terry Bowden Auburn angle.
Pruitt's lawyer implies Jeremy came into a sticky situation that was already in place when Jeremy got there, then in the end Jeremy is the fall guy
Yep, I see some Terry Bowden and Auburn stuff there

Another embarrassment for the NCAA. Everyone is breaking rules. They have zero enforcement. What a joke.

Pruitt would probably not like to take the Bowden path.
Head coach until 1999, then did not coach for near a decade.
Again, this whole thing screams lose/lose to me and is likely just posturing. I am surprised Tenn did not give Pruitt at least some of his buyout, but I also doubt he really wants to go to court on this.

While that may be true... The guys OM paid were difference makers... Not sure anyone Tennessee paid has been much of a difference maker.
Well, Phil Fulmer was a difference maker, except he's one who made a difference in the wrong direction, and certainly not one who could run a 4.3

Huge balls on Pruitt and the lawyer.
Tennessee fans just tried to concuss a former coach for playing them tight in a night game. There’s enough psychos there that if you threaten to take down their program legitimately might come for you.

Jeremy has denied wrongdoing

Y’all should have paid his arse. This is going to cost you WAY more.

Look, that article implies things were going before and during Pruitt's tenure. It seems like a tough sell to then say Pruitt had no knowledge of wrong doing. There is no current lawsuit right? No discovery?
Now I read some are saying Pruitt does not want to come back to college. I am skeptical. He was, at the least, a really good DC on the college level. But I doubt many teams would consider a guy who threatens to air all the dirty laundry.
At a minimum, I am sure some teams would want him as a DC. A lingering lawsuit would probably prevent that.
And I guess the NCAA is still investigating, and their speed means they might make a statement in five years.

An institution’s head coach is presumed to be responsible for the actions of all institutional staff members who report, directly or indirectly, to the head coach.

Loving this back and forth on this thread.

I don't understand why they didn't pay him either.
Posted on 10/19/21 at 8:56 pm to higgs_boson
Makes you wonder if they really didn’t have the money.
Posted on 10/19/21 at 8:58 pm to higgs_boson
How much was his buyout?
Posted on 10/19/21 at 8:59 pm to higgs_boson
what happens in trial discovery versus "airing dirty laundry" are two ways of arriving at the same information
Things were going on before I get there?
If I'm Jeremy Pruitt, that story already has precedence in the SEC with Terry Bowden. Tennessee, just by that comparison, has a public relations nightmare on their hands
Some writers from Alabama or Georgia or Florida would love to write those editorials. Make those comparison. Poor Terry Bowden walked into a snake pit? Poor Jeremy Pruitt walked into a snake pit.
That's just PR
Trial discovery lays it on thicker and makes it terrifying for UT

12 ?
Posted on 10/19/21 at 9:00 pm to abellsujr
I read it was 12.6 million.
Posted on 10/19/21 at 9:02 pm to higgs_boson
Yep

Because UT fired Pruitt for cause, he did not receive any of the $12.6 million buyout that was part of his contract.

No way they couldn’t come up with 12 million. I really think they just are a poorly run program making stupid decisions. They probably thought he was bluffing. But Pruitt actually doesn’t give a frick about coaching again.
