LSU GM, Austin Thomas leaving

Tell us what you think of all the new hires at Tennessee. Glad to see you posting again.

My first thought is that Pruitt is a step in the right direction.

Quite frankly - given the past 8 years of Tennessee football you could have gotten some excitement from me just naming a coach that would have a fullback on the roster (much more so if he talks about actually using one).

Not sure if he can win some championships - obviously the full staff will give us a clearer picture on that.

A lot of problems at Tennessee: lack of leadership on both the academic and athletic side; a continual deferral to all things athletics to the Haslam family; and just a committment to the status quo.

Bottom line: baby steps. Not super excited about Fulmer being AD or Pruitt being coach - but they are both moves in the right direction.
