Anonymous Nashville High School Coach Rips Jeremy Pruitt To Shreds

Anonymous Nashville High School Coach Rips Jeremy Pruitt To Shreds

Now that Tennessee has moved on from Jeremy Pruitt as their head coach, David Ubben at The Athletic wanted to see what high school coaches around the state really thought of him. One anonymous coach was ready to talk openly. Per The Athletic...

quote:
“Pruitt, that guy, I had nothing to do with him,” the coach said. “I saw him one time over here. I’ll leave it at that. He told one of our kids who played for him, who started a lot of games for him, that he couldn’t win with kids from our school and needed some dogs from Georgia. I was not a big fan at all. He didn’t think he could win with Tennessee kids, and it’s true that you can’t win with just Tennessee kids, but you better get the best from here, and there’s plenty you can get. He didn’t do that.

“And to be honest with you, I thought he was a low-class human being. We had kids on that team, we had managers, and just the stories about him, he didn’t sound like someone I’d really want to have anything to do with.”

If the quote was the worst thing, that’s weak.

"One anonymous coach was ready to talk openly."...well done braveheart...that's no different than posting from a username on TD....oh wait...

OleManDixon•33 months

Yeah, not sure how “anonymous” and “openly” work together in that sentence. And there’s nothing like an anonymous source of secondhand information.

Jaydeaux•33 months

Agree, if you’re going to blast him, then say please put my name on it. If you’re scared don’t say anything

Trumansfangs•33 months

Lol

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•33 months

the coach said. “I saw him one time over here. I’ll leave it at that….. followed by a long arse diatribe

If you are telling the truth, there would be no need for anonymity. Not saying Pruitt wasn't like that, but dragging someone's name through the dirt while not revealing your own speaks volumes for your own character.

"If you are telling the truth, there would be no need for anonymity." Telling the truth is the quickest way to death.

Remiden•33 months

@3down10. This isn't the Salem Witch Trials or the Inquisition. This is a reporter getting a story no one is currently asking about, about a coach who was fired 8 months ago, from people who won't give their names. If he was asking about their political views or where they stand on the corona virus pandemic regarding masks, sure, keep it anonymous.

Those coaches were given anonymity so they WOULD talk, it’s not like they went shopping for a reporter to do a story. U guys obviously didn’t read the story or didn’t comprehend what was written in it.

Jaydeaux•33 months

Damn that almost makes me want to subscribe to the Athletic

Coach seeking attention.

cheeto225•33 months

How? He’s anonymous. SMH

“ He told one of our kids who played for him, who started a lot of games for him, that he couldn’t win with kids from our school and needed some dogs from Georgia.” He went 16-19, so I’m not sure how this statement is controversial.

SoFla Tideroller•33 months

Sounds like bullshite that the coach made up. "I demanded a staff position if I delivered a kid to the Vols and I'm pissed that didn't happen." -- That's probably more like it.

Guitarcheese•33 months

exactly. no one associated with alabama football can possibly be an a-hole

soccerfüt•33 months

Larry, just stop. Please?

Billy Mays•33 months

Tennessee HS football isn’t great - can’t argue with Pruitt on this topic - they needed GA more than instate kids.

Saban disciple

Tigerlaff•33 months

Pruitt is literally an illiterate redneck.

Harry Rex Vonner•33 months

Stupid bullshite hearsay from some ghetto POS so-called "coach"

Harry Rex Vonner•33 months

Let me guess...Hunter's Lane? Hillsboro? Some other loser program?

FlyFishinTiger•33 months

If you are going to spew crap about someone, then it should never be printed or posted anonymously.

Billy Mays•33 months

Most high school football coaches are redneck idiots - their rants should always be taken with a grain of salt

I dig your avatar

macjonesgoat•33 months

But wait there's more! High school coaches are the biggest fricking losers who never graduated from Jelly school.

JackieTreehorn•33 months

He came from the rancid cheating Hoover program so of course he is scum.

PowHound•33 months

One anonymous coach = Fake News

BrotherDawg84•33 months

Hands down the dumbest head coach in the history of the SEC. And he had lots of competition.

ConfusedHawgInMO•33 months

Worse than Chad Morris? I didn't think that was possible.

Lynxrufus2012•32 months

I submit Joker Phillips as Exhibit A

extremetigerfanatic•33 months

Sounds like the headline should read “Anonymous Nashville High School Coach butthurt that Jeremy Pruitt articulates why Tennessee Football sucks”
