UT is gonna let their new head coach try to win a national title for their biggest rival... just seems stupid.




i thought about this and actually love it. It will give our new head coach all kinds of national exposure. Now for bama, id just tell him to go on. Because he wont have his full attention on bama. He will be on the side telling recruits to come to tn.

They'll be talking about Pruitt and Tennessee during these games.

Won 2 games with Kirby pulling double duty.
Won the game Kiffin stayed on for and pulled double duty.

Looks like we are 3 for 3 when coordinators are pulling double duty.




Facts are not welcome on the rant

Yes, the last time we had a coordinator do double duty throughout the playoffs we won the national championship




We gave up 40 points and 550 yards of offense. I mean, are we really saying Kirby staying was clearly a big success?

I'm not saying it was because of the Georgia thing, but he and our D certainly didn't perform well.

Yeah, if I was an Alabama fan I think I'd just want him to go ahead and go.

Didn't I read you have a Co DC anyway?
Yeah, not sure if I want him to stay around. His mind won't be 100% on the game. But his players want him to stick around.

difficulty of doing both


Probably not as difficult as the first game you've ever called being in the playoffs against the #1 team after having been on the job for 3 weeks.

yep, every recruit will be watching and will hear Pruitt's name 1000 times and UT will be mentioned 1000 times.

I don't like that we have experience with both of these potentially negative situations LOL

I'd argue Kirby's performance against Clemson was pretty bad.

But as Teague said, having a guy call his first game in the playoffs isn't a great option.

Not bothering with page 2 of this thread, but suffice it to say, people are missing this point. You can win in spite of someone remaining with the team...

Fulmer knows having him stay as a distraction outweighs the benefits of early signing perio



So you think Fulmer dictates his employment at Alabama? Lol

why would I be upset? I think this is a great hire by UT and love seeing Fulmer come back almost 20 years after Albert Means just to stick it to Bama again.

Really good stuff.

I mean, yes. Fulmer holds all the cards for Pruitt. Pruitt's buyout can't be much, so if he really wanted, he could tell Pruitt to start coaching Tenner today.

Your post implied asa troll that Fulmer is dictating to Saban like he has to keep him. It's a mistake to leave him on staff.
