lololol oh yes I'm sure there are so many NFL teams pining for Pruitt after his stellar performance at UT
He’s a great defensive coach, and I doubt he can get any on-field jobs in college right now with his NCAA troubles, so I could see it. His likely options are the NFL (if anyone is interested) and analyst roles in college.

He also doesn't have to ever work in college football again - which is exactly what will happen if he doesn't talk to them.

Tenn Record under Pruitt

'19 - 8-5 (5-3)
'20 - 3-7 (3-7)
ummm.....

Irons Puppet made a solid point. If Pruitt wants to coach college ball again, the NCAA will ask him about the system/process being used by schools. This may lead back to every school he touched during his career. The real question is whether he wants to coach in college again. If he doesn’t, he can tell the NCAA to F off and go back to Hoover High or some other HS program.

Does his record as a head coach alone paint the full picture of how good he is as a defensive football coach? Are we to ignore the great defenses he coached at Alabama and FSU, the great DBs he coach as DB coach at Alabama?

This is strange. UT fans are bashing JP as a coach, yet acting like the program is clean when it swaps to a new coach and kids staying. Hard to follow

I see your point and maybe you're right, but I think that his record as HC is also indicative of his capabilities as a coach in any capacity. You have to keep in mind that for all of his success at Alabama and FSU, he was under the control of great HCs and had top-quality asst coaches. When given the reigns to run the show, he flopped. That speaks volumes about coaching abilities IMO.

As clean as any other school, sure.

I don't think anyone is acting like the program is suddenly "clean" just because JP is gone. No one really even understands everything that was going on yet. We're bashing JP as a coach because he half-assed every game and had poor control over the players and his staff, which indicates that they didn't respect him and likely for good reason.

Pretend we can’t read your mind and try this again please.
Are Vols fans bashing Pruitt for cheating? No. Most of us actually read the stories and listened to the press conference. No one is accusing Pruitt directly of cheating. The termination letter clearly states he was fired for the actions of his subordinates and putting illegibility of student athletes at risk.
As far as the program being clean? Everybody cheats. The goal is to minimize exposure to harm, ie do it within reason. Players likely will take a slap on the wrist and either chase money by transferring or learn moderation.

I don't disagree JP is an idiot. Just pointing out how quickly UT fans put blinders on when talk of a new coach and recruits. Assuming JP was cheating, UT is going to be put on probation and cripple the program. You will be lucky to keep Steele.

The only reason UT is trying to stiff him is purely financial.
Because he got them in big trouble?

I'm not saying Pruitt didn't do it, but we are talking about a situation involving Phil Fulmer here.

Look at what happened to Ole Miss in a much worse situation. A few scholarships lost over 4 years and a 2 year bowl ban and probation. They also weren’t nearly as proactive as UT.
That’s the worst case and it will be lighter. Good luck crippling a program that wasn’t going to a bowl next season anyway.
Also - Covid wasn’t the reason we didn’t play in the Liberty bowl this year - it was due to the investigation.

Nope, but you do suck at reading.
The question you continue to refuse to answer is about the motivations of the program that turned the bad program in.

It’s hilarious how well this comment describes you and Keller on this situation.
“Uga did it! I read it somewhere.”

Good point, so when considering the poor state of vol recruiting in the fall, it’s safe to conclude uga wouldn’t be the program doing that.

When the NCAA investigates Tennessee, Pruitt absolutely has to speak to the NCAA if he ever wants to coach at that level again.
If he doesn't care about coaching again, then yes, he doesn't have to speak to them. They don't have subpoena power, but they do have eligibility power.
They can penalize him w/a show-cause penalty of various lengths but cannot ban him from coaching at a NCAA school. Chip Kelly got 18-mo and now coaches UCLA and recently Dan Mullen got a 12-month show-cause penalty and he's still working at UF. That said, both those guys cooperated with the NCAA. The wiki of show-cause penalties below seem to indicate the length of show-cause penalties has been steadily dropping. However, the one thing that seems to extend the show-cause penalty length is lying to NCAA investigators.

Nope. The NCAA was tipped off by another school. UT did not invite the NCAA despite what you hear or have been told.
Look, I know you are an okay guy, and you keep claiming this, but everything from a credible source I have read said that it was started internally.
Do you have a link from a credible source that is not speculating that backs up what you are saying?
