Yeah, you're a real peach.

And my thinking your coach is a tard has nothing to do with Schiano whatsoever. (And for all I know Schiano is a tard too.) I happened to listen to Pruitt speak so that was enough for me to make that determination.

He was the recruiting coordinator---taking a
fall for, compared to expectations, somewhat
disappointing results for Rocky Top ?
Regardless, this seems to be a real blow
to UT.

It would seem to be, but for what we're paying him relative to other successful RB coaches in the conference, the results are sub par.

Perhaps he should descend from the rafters like Sting to celebrate a 66th ranked recruiting class?

I'm sure he signed a contract, so now you are paying yet another coach not to coach. This has got to be some kind of record.

Just keep paying them not to coach. The rest of the SEC is enjoying this.

Seriously, we all know what this is:

A top recruiter and recruiting coordinator, assistant head coach at TN. The Vols are a program rife with petty regimes and cliques, with heavy politics surrounding it all the way through from the administration to "insider" sources to the fanbase.

Coach Scruitt probably saw some back-alley back-stabbing on the horizon, should his inaugural season go wrong, and its expected to go wrong. He's just cutting the bad spots off from the apple here.


It's The Process.......

Do you know what an afro is?

If you're serious, believe that would be one Rush Propst... of multiple family infamy.

UT always seem to have productive runners despite poor QB play. They must have philosophically disagreed on prospects.

Dave Matthews said Gillespie felt out of place, more or less. All the other coaches coming in were like "brothers" with long histories/ties.
