Social media trolls Tennessee following Vols blowout loss to Alabama
Jeremy Pruitt entered Saturday with hopes of being the first former Nick Saban assistant to get a win over the old boss as a head coach. Pruitt’s Volunteers, however, did not come through as Alabama thumped Tennessee 48-17 in Knoxville.
After starting 2-0 in 2020, UT is now 2-3 on the year with back-to-back losses to Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama. Over in the Big Ten, Greg Schiano is back as Rutgers’ head coach. The Scarlet Knights start Schiano’s second run 1-0 with Rutgers’ 38-27 win over Michigan State.
Schiano and Pruitt are getting mentioned in a lot of the same tweets trolling Tennessee.
Hey Tennessee fans. Greg Schiano is a better coach than Jeremy Pruitt. Love you, bye.

Remember when Tennessee fans rioted because Greg Schiano was going to be their next head coach? At least they get to enjoy the Jeremy Pruitt experience!

Schiano just beat Mich St with a team that has had no conference since 2017, meanwhile Pruitt still thinks JG is a good QB

The entire country has been waiting for this moment: Greg Schianno with a big win while Jeremy Pruitt falls on his face. I hate this so much

Still thinking about how we could have had Coach Schiano instead of Pruitt 😔 pic.twitter.com/4r6W2WKu9k

I honestly don’t want to hear it with the “Fire Pruitt” crowd at the moment. Why? Because you got Pruitt hired. You mobbed up and ran off a potential coach in Greg Schiano over allegations that he knew something about Sandusky. But look, Rutgers look good and y’all still trash.

Tennessee fans going nuts over Pruitt. Could've had Greg Schiano. But no.. didnt want him . Schiano lead Rutgers to a 38-27 win at Michigan State in his first game back today. Oh well.

But MSU sucks terribly, almost lost to Rutgers last year. Granted Schiano put Rutgers on the map years back, taking them to the Orange bowl. Pruitt was not ready for this job, but then who was. UT is an embarrassing job now.
MSU beat Rutgers last year 27-0 Not sure what you are talking about??
Careful what you wish for…
Fatboy Fulmer said UT coaches are judged by Ga, Bama and Florida. 0-8 and can’t remember a close game. Yet he gets an extension?
Pruitt is a hard one to figure. Last 2.5 games, the job looks too big for him. Other times, he looks like a savior.
One thing I firmly believe:if he has any kind of major success at UT and Saban retires, he will be first applicant in line.
He doesn’t want to be anywhere but Bama.
Based on what he is doing at UT he won’t be coaching Bama any time soon.
Nothing sucks like a Big Orange!
Saban retires and the first guy in line is Dabo. If he declines, I would vote for Kiffin, but obviously with a top DC. Golding would be gone and in a hurry.
I’m sorry to say, but Dabo isn’t coming to Bama to be the third best coach in Bama history.
He’ll stay at Clemson, where he’s the best coach they’ve ever had, and where he’s going to make a run for best coach ever.
I’m sorry to say but you don’t actually know what Dabo would do…
Hopefully the bye week doesn’t put up 600 yards of offense on the puppies….
Nothing sucks like your mouth!
Except a GA fan!
UT gives up the most yards in the 1st half (417) in their 119 year history. Glad they brought in defensive prodigy Pruitt!!! And in his 3rd season!!! Peee f’ing yooo.
And no Waddle on the field.
Would rather have Pruitt than schiano any day. No question.
Everyone would!!
Coach Myers, you are usually on point, so I will assume you know DS was born in Birmingham and played WR for the Tide. With that being said, I have to believe part of Dabo wants to prove he can win in the big leads and not only be successful as the Big Fish in that tiny ACC pond
“league” not leads
Are you kidding me? Who’s lost the previous 21 games in a horribly overrated conference that even Tennessee would win year in, year out? Pruitt sucks, defense sucks, but never compare Schiano and his FCS Rugters team, beating a crappy MSU team, to Tennessee building a program 3 years in against the top 2 teams in the nation.
Overrated?? Big Ten East alone has 3 potential top 10 teams in the country.
Wow! Schiano won 1 game and he is a better coach?? Some people are as dumb as they look! Schiano would have already been fired had TN hired him.
Schisms would have gotten UT at least competitive in year 3. He is the better coach. Give him a couple years and he’ll be beating ranked teams consistently like he did back in the mid 2000’s
Schisms=Schiano, lol
You are correct. He has a culture and his players love him! He also has learned from Urban Meyer for 3 years at OSU as well as an NFL head coach. Could you imagine if he had the same budgets as these SEC schools.
