milehighfan 1,240 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Anybody remember the movie "Necessary Roughness where they only had two coaches on the staff?. That's what this feels like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in a fried bread shell, sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled with caramel. Topped with pecans and whipped cream. It's amazing I had some last Saturday. It was fantastic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen so many whiny grown men in my life. No wonder the divorce rate is what it is in this country. No female I know likes whiny men. Ignore Users App is your friend.

My experience is that this is not a gender specific trait. It’s more of a personality driven enigma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reason to be optimistic (also see Golf's post above) no one is going to outwork Jimmy. He needs to succeed (1) for his career and (2) because this is the place he loves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pruitt was a disaster as a HC Question for you Golf: Not trying to be doom and groom but a legitimate question. Especially cause some of my Vols friends are trying to compare what’s happening with CBH to their experience with Butch and CBH’s personality to Pruitt. Is knowing a coach being a disaster a hindsight is 20/20 type of thing? Or are there red flags that pop up that can point this way. FYI: FWIW, I have a 50/50 opinion on CBH, but mostly in the school of letting him do his thing for the next 3-4 years to build his program the way he wants to.

Pruitt was a disaster as a HC I was thinking the same thing. Pruitt was not a good coach and anybody that didn’t get along with him, must be an alright coach. It does seem odd Pruitt didn’t interview Jimmy. That surely is a red flag and thinking back, Jimmy probably learned from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping its just bc we are still recruiting for 2022, and the final Signing date in Feb, that he will wait to let him go. I don't see him keeping him during the spring coaching sessions, but maybe he likes his coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
