We’d likely let him go when the show cause came down due to the restrictions on Pruitt, and it’s possible but not likely the NCAA could penalize us if we kept him. 

Yes. The NCAA hasn’t started investigating. And then may never because there useless, or maybe Tenn “self-reports” for a light penalty. Hard to know, but they could implicate Pruitt in whatever they self-report. 

Seems more likely this starts the dominos that get us Golding than we actually hire Pruitt. But man if we hire Pruitt, we’ll all know burnt orange bags are gonna be dropping all over the country. 

Just seems more likely Pruitt has to go back to Bama and may stay in an off-the-field role. 

Wonder if Saban is now willing to let Golding and Scott go -- have Charles Kelly take over DC, Stoops LBs, and try to hire LSU CB coach??

So might be a dumb question, but if we are going the bag man route, why bring in Pruitt that guarantees the NCAA will be poking around in Austin?

I agree. Doesn’t make sense to bring the heat of the spotlight that comes with Pruitt. 
My guess is it’s either Golding or Ansley. I guess it depends how much Ansley gets implicated.

I get that Pruitt is a great DC, but is Saban really going to replace Golding coming off a NC run that included fantastic defensive performances against 2 of the best offenses in the country with a guy that potentially has a show cause looming?

I don't think Sark will touch him either.

Question is would Mack have been the same level AD as Fulmer had we handed him the reigns? 

I think Mack would make a good AD. He seems to still have it as a coach.

Anyone defending those fuckfaces after that update should get neg-bombed off of this site. 

you know the difference between Wescott Eberts and Geoff Ketchum?

I don't think it's Pruitt, but I don't know who else it could be at this point? I really don't know what the hold up is, but all the hires have been great so far, so I guess I'm just trusting the process at this point.

The LB Coach at Tennessee (Neidermeyer?) is supposedly one of the best coaches/recruiters on that staff.

I'm pretty sure that he's the actual coach who's implicated in whatever shenanigans actually went down that Pruitt is taking the fall for. But if not, I'd take a combo of Pruitt and him or Ansley.

Recruiting only. Can’t coach a lick. And I am expecting this investigation to show why he got such great results in recruiting.

Happened to me at first. Make sure the captions are on.

Good Afternoon Horns247!!

— Yahoo's Pete Thamel tweeted that Tennessee is planning to part ways with head football coach Jeremy Pruitt on Monday, a development that could have implications for Steve Sarkisian's defensive coordinator search, sources told Horns247.

Sources have indicated to Horns247 that Sarkisian was focused on Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding to take over the same position at Texas but that Alabama coach Nick Saban was objecting to that unless Saban had a suitable defensive coordinator replacement.

Sources close to the situation have told Horns247 Saban thinks Pruitt was the best defensive coordinator Saban has had at Alabama, and those sources said Saban has known for weeks that Pruitt might be let go at Tennessee.

So the biggest question is if Tennessee lets go of Pruitt for cause - meaning school officials have found something they think Pruitt did that might've violated his being eligible for a contract buyout - could Pruitt be facing some kind of "show-cause" penalty from the NCAA (even though it would likely take months or even a year before that's ruled on by the NCAA)?

A show-cause penalty means any NCAA penalties imposed on a coach found to have committed major rules violations would stay in effect against the coach for a specified period of time and could be transferred to any other NCAA-member school that tries to hire the coach while the sanctions are still in effect. Both the school and coach are required to send letters to the NCAA agreeing to abide by the restrictions imposed.

Obviously, if Saban has interest in hiring Pruitt as his defensive coordinator, Golding would become available for Sarkisian as defensive coordinator.

Another name to keep an eye on as a hot defensive coordinator candidate at any top program is current Tennessee defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley, a former defensive backs coach at Alabama (2016-17) and the Oakland Raiders (2018) who is also considered an elite recuiter.

Stay tuned.

TLDR Chip is days behind as usual

Does Fulmer resigning and two assistants taking the fall give Pruitt enough cover to stay clean especially if he receives little to none of his buyout? 

The opposite actually. Means shit was really bad.

Hes probably toxic at this point in the NCAA eyes

From the reports I read, two NCAA officials sat in on Pruitt's 8-hour interview.

From what I've read the NCAA had investigators zoomed into the interviews with the staff and players.

Combine that with for cause and no buyout and he is as toxic as it gets in the NCAAs eyes

a handsome boast, indeed. However...

Let me sing you tale... a tale, of the update called “The Humidor”

Well done. The futureman line was my fave.

Also... let's get real about Tennessee sacking Pruitt. Those jackholes could give two shits about the NCAA, they are just looking to save cash on Pruitt's buyout. They want him gone because they suck, not because of anything that happened with compliance. Looming sanctions are just a convenient excuse. I guarantee if that dude was winning 10 games a year they wouldn't even blink at the allegations. Unless this was some Hugh Freeze-level shenanigans, Tenn would be more than willing to eat whatever slap on the wrist was coming their way and get back to business. The Mexican stand off with all of this is how much of their internal investigation they are willing to report to the NCAA -- because both parties have something to lose in this.

Disregard all of that. ^^^^I didn't see the update about the NCAA sitting in on their investigation. Pruitt is toast. No way we touch him with a ten foot pole. I doubt Bama does either. He probably spends a year in the NFL and then sneaks back into Saban's rehab program for wayward coaches.

Sounds like 2 assistants also fired for cause at Tenn. Neidermeyer being one, not sure yet on the second

I thought he got fragged in ‘Nam?
