🏈 Tennessee is hiring UCF’s Josh Heupel as its next head football coach,

[PurlJam]

He'd absolutely stay on if he could. Zero doubt (regardless what the article says), he's being forced out too.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Truth

Fulmer’s retirement has EVERYTHING to do with this situation. Pruitt is now radioactive and won’t be able to land a job for a few years (not even as an analyst of Saban’s staff), IMO.

He’s only be allowed to leave slowly due to his longtime service to UT.

This will be their 6th HC since Saban has been at Bama

Message to anyone thinking about going to Vileville go there and kill your career.... JP should have known better but ego, pride and $$$ are powerful things.

This happened last Friday... Pruitt and some staff flew to CA to try and keep Henry To'o To'o from transferring. Seems like a bit of a wasted trip and some wasted money, for a broke school that is having to look for loose change under the Neyland bleachers to help pay for stuff.

So I guess Pruitt was the only one who didn't know he was a dead man walking. And Steele looks like he just did beat Santa Ana to the Alamo.

I guess Steele went just in time to get a buy out or pave the way for Malzahn to go to Knoxville. Wouldn't that be something.

I’m ecstatic over the NC, the Heisman, the bazillion other awards, the record tying number of unanimous AA’s and the 2021 recruiting class. Though to be honest, Fulmer being asked to retire in disgrace and UT being an absolute dumpster fire ranks right up there for me. I will NEVER tire of Bama beating the Vol’s. Fulmer becoming forever linked with recruiting violations would define karma.

 

[BamaFan334]

I mean, wow. What exactly did they do to earn getting fired? Coaches are caught all of the time cheating and doing illegal things. Hiding sexual assault, paying hookers to be with recruits, Hugh Freeze's deal while at Ole Miss seems in line for firing of course, but does anyone have an example of what Pruitt is guilty of?

I don't follow Tennessee at all outside of recruiting battles between our schools, but what has the Board of Directors not seen that everyone else in the world has seen in that Phillip Fulmer seems to be the guy behind the mess that is Tennessee football, even dating back to those claims against Peyton manning when he was at Tennessee. Zero clue how he has made it this long.

said differently, since Nick Saban has been at Alabama, Tennessee has had 6 head coaches. Coincidentally, Alabama has won 6 national titles in that same timespan.

This UT PC is an absolute train wreck. Fat Phil is clueless and they are kissing his ass like there is no tomorrow.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

I must say I am very disappointed in JP. It is one thing to fail because you couldn't recruit/coach/etc well enough to get your program up to speed but to resort to dollars to fix things will haunt him forever.

It will be interesting to learn of those below him did the dirty work with JP either not knowing or whether he allowed knowingly.

According to Chris Low there are so many level 1&2 infractions NCAA could give them a full season ban.

Hell they have been serving the death penalty since Fatboy Phil got the axe

Guess they told him he wasn't in Kansas anymore.

Talk about piss poor timing....Steele had a WTF moment about the time he got off the plane.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

It is going to be interesting to learn JP's side of the story and at some point we shall. So far they're blaming JP for not knowing what was taking place but not for actually participating in the deal. Those two assistant coaches know the story and they will talk....perhaps.

Quoting this for use later...
