Really, ur right on spot. He was turned down by experienced HCs because the UT program was in turmoil and factioned off.Phatphil, maybe he knew what he was doing when he hired Pruitt! I mean he couldn't get anyone that played/coach to be the head coach?
I believe UT thought hiring Fulmer would settle program but it reality it was divided it more
As for hiring an assistant as HC... there were more qualified than Pruitt. I believe he thought it might hurt Bama in NC game. He has tremendous hate for Bama. Cant forget that
