Pruitt punching a hole in Kirby's ship at UGA?
- Thread starter midline
- Start date
If Kirby wanted Chaney to remain in Athens, Chaney wouldn't be going to Knoxville.
Yea, I guess that is why UT is having to pay a 500,000 buyout to get him.
Is Pittman leaving to go with Chaney? That would be a huge loss.
What’s going on over there all of a sudden? Players leaving early and transferring. Now coaches jumping ship for lateral moves. Is it not all peachy in fleabag-land?
Let's hope!!
Happy to see turmoil in Athens. I don't like the improvements in Tn though.......
Coaches aren't jumping ship. Tucker got a HC job. Smart moving forward from Chaney.
No, thank God. You are correct... it would be a huge loss.

Might be a lateral move on paper but is being reported his salary jumps from $900k to $1.5 million.
Chaney is the fall guy because Fromm can't finish the job in big games. I think Fields will be better than Fromm in the long run. Lawrence already is.
Chaney is no fall guy. UGA hardly three him under the bus because of the teams underwhelming Texas performance. There was a bidding war, and apparently Fulmer was going to go as high as it took to get him. So any crap coming out of Georgia that UT got used goods that they no longer wanted is completely false.
As far as Pittman. Been no rumor of that. Could happen if UT wants to pay for him I presume. But supposedly Pruitt and Fulmer both think Will Friend who is already on that staff is the guy they want to stay with.
Fulmer is used to winning bidding wars. He has plenty experienced during his time recruiting as HC.
You may be right about Kirby, but plenty on DawgNation thought he was "too conservative" and wanted him to leave. More than one person has said that they went after Chaney to get Pittman. All this was said prior to him departing.
They might regret those words in the years to follow. We'll see.
UT's exuberance seems a bit over-the-(Rocky)top. He was Arkansas' OC in 2013 in one of our most dominant defensive performance in recent memory. He was better against us at Georgia with more talent.
Is he really a difference-maker, though?

IIRC, UGA hired Chaney to get Pittman. Pittman was the one they wanted, not so much Chaney, whose reputation has suffered since his Purdue days.
Wow people get old quickly nowadays. I didn't lose my eyesight until my mid-40s.
Auburn wanted him.
Maybe UGA wants some fresh blood?
I think McClendon is more likely. I hope neither goes. Be interesting to see though.
That us what I was thinking. He doesn't have the offensive talent at UT that Georgia has and he will be familiar to the East Division coaches.
I think they want Jeff Scott or Tony Elliott and will pay about $1.2 Million to get one of them.
Elliott would be the better acquisition, being unencumbered by Brad Scott's DNA.
