Mulligan. 

Yeah, not really, that was his second full season, after an interim takeover in a partial year one.

His legit 3rd year = 10-4.  No mulligan.

I guess if your last name was Mulligan, you probably couldn't go into coaching (or play golf).  

I feel like Pruitt's agent arguing with the President at UTK - doing my best to save his job.  Steven A Smith and ESPN have convinced the sporting world real men know that championships are all that matters.  I don't think those kinds of fans are good for college football and will put it on my calendar to have this same argument with you in 4 years.

Championships?  LOL ….. hyperbole, fuzzard?

Competing with UK and Arky would suffice.  Maybe pulling up 3rd in the East.

It's OK to not ignore what you are seeing.  It's not a mirage.  It's really is a steaming pile of manure, not a chocolate fondue fountain.

He's not getting fired, so no need to save his job.  Fulmer extended the failure for a few more years.

Posters critical of hiring Pruitt have an extremely short memory of the situation Fulmer stepped into.
The coaching job had been turned down by practically every coach in college football. The hiring process had become the laughing stock of the nation when Fulmer was named AD.
I recall many of the critics accusing Fulmer of being incompetant for not going after Leach.
How's he working out at Ms State?
Trying to recall who else was the flavor of the week or who Fumer SHOULD have hired.There's always a flavor of the week after any coach wins a big game.
Freeze who was fired for hiring prostitutes and getting Ole Ms on probation ( almosty the death penalty) seems to be the flavor this week since he beat the Sisters of The Blind last week....my bad, it was Western Carolina.

Yeah, Western Carolina, that’s why Freeze is popular.  🙄

I was in the Jeff Brohm camp - not sure how that's looking these days.  I'm happy with Pruitt and am giving him a mulligan for this year since his 5th year quarterback is a head-case.

I keep looking to how the virus has affected every team different.

IMO, there is also a problem(s) on the team, besides the head case. If it is what I suspect it can not get addressed until after the season.

But for how long?  There's a significant percentage of the fan base that's not going to be satisfied with being 3rd in the East (tied for 6th in the conference).  Maybe you're one of them.  

It's OK to not ignore what you are seeing.  It's not a mirage.  It's really is a steaming pile of manure, not a chocolate fondue fountain.

A quarterback here, a couple of turnovers there, a busted coverage here, a bad penalty there.  Mere twists of fate.

Fulmer extended the failure for a few more years.

I haven't given up on him yet.  Looking forward to Saturday night and building a roaring fire on my back patio, popping a Yazoo Gerst, setting a rug out for my dog and watching Harrison Bailey lead us to victory against the War Eagles.

(yes Cincy, I know that's not their real name)

Can’t wait to use this in the next “Trump is a scoundrel” thread you start.

Wrong again Fulmer was courting big money donors to get the job when Majors had his heart attack as he still does today and did so to get Currie fired to get the AD job.

But It really doesn't matter what Jonny did or did not do no one with any integrity stabs a friend or anyone else in the back for any reason. If you can't do it on your on merit you don't deserve it.

Johnny came out of the hospital and went to a gathering, drunk on his ass (as was normal for him at the time) and demanded more money.

Many people were damned tired of his problem and demands.  That got him canned.
