Pruitts time at UGA was his least successful stint prior to being a head coach but y’all feel his time at UGA got him the Vols gig?
Chalk this up as you sucking at reading as I didn’t mention his time at uga.
Vols hired the successful Bama DC, just like UGA did. Surely it would work to copy what just won the SEC.

It’s as if Saban had a moderately successful coaching tree. Who would have thunk that.

He isn’t wrong. When your players can transfer at a whim, and many do, you are going to have less experienced players ready to play if a starter gets hurt. That seems like common sense.
It’s irrational for talented players to go to a school and sit for years because they’ve stockpiled talent.
I would personally be OK making the transfer rules stricter and keeping the NIL. Previously Kirby and Saban played the “pay under the table” strategy, which was especially good because players couldn’t easily transfer out if they were sitting the bench.

Vols could have hired anyone from anywhere, but saw uga dominate the 2017 seccg:
“If it worked for uga so quickly, it should work for the vols too!”

Depends on how important coaching and development is.

The reduction was self imposed and de facto due to the majority of the roster leaving over the Pruitt scandal.
And if it was all on Jeremy Pruitt why did Tennessee "voluntarily" take a reduction?
because you know and i know that if they had not the NCAA would have. Your University covered up rapes, sexual assaults and domestic violence. Don't pretend them to be some benevolent entity that just wants to do the right thing when it is not necessary. quote:
The irony of aVol fan talking about consequences is absolutely hilarious by the way.

The rest was just the voices in your head with Dooley and Jones.

I may be wrong (and it would seem I am based on Smart's comments) but I would *think* more talent would flow up toward programs like Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State in the era of the portal. The 4-5 star players that didn't pan out leave the top programs for somewhere they can get a second chance while the overlooked guys that have proven their worth at Kansas (or wherever) transfer to the big boys for more NIL money, a better supporting cast, more exposure, etc.

Auburn and Georgia. One was on probation for paying players during their first title season, and was investigated for paying players in 2010 during their second title season.
The other team has never been investigated for or on probation for paying players.
Care to guess which is which?

Smart not going to outcoach anyone. He runs a very conservative offense and tries to out talent the other team. Plus he is a wuss. He won some NCs with some weak schedules and good timing. He will always be a back-stabber that would sell out others to get ahead.

A vol fan made a comment directed at me and i responded. Is that ok?

To avoid real punishment. They fired all of Pruitts staff off and on the field.

I skimmed the latest running troll fest and saw you had responded. I was a little surprised.
I'll tap out.

It goes both ways, and that’s where the lack of experience within the system come into play.

If true freshmen can figure out enough to be effective immediately, I don't know why a seasoned transfer cannot do the same.
I still think the current system should make the strong stronger because it takes some of the guesswork out of acquiring talent. It a LB named Billy from Plano is overlooked by Texas and goes over to New Mexico State and fricks shite up, then Texas can just go steal him away.

Most freshman cannot do so. Most are liabilities due to limited knowledge of the system. They would function much better if they had more time learning the intricate systems of modernFB.

He’s the same ahole that worked under and studied Saban.

Gotcha. I typically don't troll unless somebody takes a shot at Georgia. If they do I kind of enjoy pointing out their hypocrisy.
