Tennessee cleans house

[dafarmer]

University of Tennessee just announce that Head Football Coach Pruitt was let go , along with A.D. Phil Fulmer. Will Peyton Manning get the call for the A.D. job?

 

[dirtyninety]

canceled.

Probably something you'd survive if you were a decent coach. But if the AD sees the potential of having to fire you, doing it when you can do it for cause would be the way to go.

Why would Peyton want to put in that much work when he can make a boatload via ESPN

 

[Dr.bannedman]

why would payton do that? he is rich. think of all the ******** you have to deal with

 

[IceCyIce]

I''m sure he loves Tennesee but not that much.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Fired for-cause. Yikes. Cheating and not even winning.

Maybe to hire himself as the football coach?

 

[JP4CY]

Sounds like the NCAA is sniffing around the football program.

I''m sure he loves Tennesee but not that much.

Depends if he follows his ego like John Elway. Elway could have taken the easy life, but instead believed he could make the Broncos elite again. Guy did one good move of bringing in Manning when he still had just a little tread left on the tires. After that he though he was the QB whisperer and proved he was awful at it.

Gotta love this. Hey, we are firing you...........tomorrow.

Give him some time to eliminate incriminating evidence...

Totally different jobs. Elway isn't worried about budget (Slary cap yes), Elway isn't involved ion softball, cross country and bowling teams.

I agree, but still more of an ego thing that some of these guys think they can do it and just rely on their name.

I could see Peyton being the mascot before wanting to be AD OR a college coach...those jobs are life styles, not careers.

Tennessee was after Campbell back when they hired Pruitt. I'm sure they'll try and shake that tree again, but good luck. That's a disaster down there before you even get to potential NCAA punishments.

Fulmer never wanted to hire Pruit right? Weird Fulmer takes the fall when he wanted to hire Schiano.

Hopefully this Tennessee hiring goes like the last one, where you heard it was going to be Leach, Gundy, etc.

Had to refresh myself on that wild ride...

Who can they realistically get this late?

 

[cyclone13]

I wonder whether they end up hiring Mensa....
