[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 748796, member: 2957"] Nothing could be further from the truth. Recruiting was initially successful under Jones but died after he played players with concussions, fostered helmet fights in the locker room and forced players off the team. Well oiled? Not even close. As Pruitt and Fulmer both observed, the recruits were not that great AND not being developed. (Note: Fulmer heavily recruited outside of Tennessee during his heyday.) Fanbase? Sure, Neyland CAN fill 105,000 but after Jones, they were dropping like flies. I know, I was there. Selling seats and attendance are two different things and “Boycott UT” was all over Knoxville. Hell, they spit on Jones’s wife at the grocery store. There were some games that had half capacity. Doesn’t matter. The fan base HATED Pruitt the first year (despised) as did the team. Pruitt’s view was, “I am NOT your friend. I am your coach. And you will learn to play competitive football or leave.” Is that Geoff? I don’t think so. Geoff strikes me as “everyone gets a trophy.” Good discussion. [/QUOTE]
