    The self reported NCAA penalties will be the coup de grace.

    Pruitt is a great example of someone who can coach great talent but can he build a program?

    Tennessee is obviously desperate. They are the third most under achieving program the last forty years only behind Georgia and Texas.

    His temperament wasn’t what you want out of a HC.

    Auburn's been awfully quiet after making their HC hire.

    Need more tweets.

    Is this guy a good OL coach? Cade Mays addressed him yet?

    Mizzou loved him but he sucked for us. Our line couldn't stop false starting let alone block.

    Yeah we legit had zero good OL last year. Shit was insane. Never seen the Center false start/hold on 4 straight plays.

    That is one of the more cringey, brown-nosing quotes I've heard about a coach in a while

    So UT has tripled fucked themselves.....

    • They pulled the scholarship from an AL WR on NSD and never called and wouldn't talk to the player/coach
    • Fucking over a kid who signed before the investigation/old staff
    • They are 100% not going to be able to give recruits money and cheat like everyone else b/c of the NCAA investigation
    Really fucking remarkable job. UT will be shit for another decade. An absolutely amazing downfall from the 90s to being ass for 3 decades straight

    Shit, Willie Martinez is the best DB coach we've had since Fulmer was fired. Justin Coleman, Cam Sutton, Emmanuel Moseley (he came in at 140 lbs but fast) all making money in the NFL. 3 star, 3 star, 2 star.

    Pruitt was trying to make us into 2011 Alabama, but with worse players.

    As much as a love being Punter U, I figure we should aim to score some points.

    Sequence of events

    UCF with no explanation loses WR coach(only coached we really liked) who packed up in the middle of the night and left
    Huepel hires Burns at UCF
    Huepel goes to Tenn and takes Burns with him
    Old WR coach told Huepel to fuck off and quit comes back with Malzahn

    Good times

    If you mean paying coaches to not coach, yes, probably the best in the country.
