Over the last forty years, that’s one of how many good Tennessee coaches? Two? 50% seems significant.
Oh, and the other one worked for him.
Tennessee coach is unhinged

They hired one of their good coaches from ISU. Back in the 70s. How does that have any bearing on today?
Also, Majors went to Pitt before TN. I'm guessing the NC he won at Pitt had more bearing on Tennessee's decision than what he did at ISU.
Once you throw a punch at an opposing player you lose "the great" in front of your name.

Majors is one of only two good coaches they’ve had since then.
The other “good coach” is now their current AD. Who was a long time assistant under Majors. They have tons of money and a 100K seat stadium. We may have our best coach since Majors.
I was being facetious, but since you wanted it spelled out...
I thought the Tennessee coach went quite a bit over the line.
First, you don't ever need to grab a kid's facemask and yank their head IMO. Yelling should be sufficient.
But even the yelling in this case was over the top. He wouldn't let up. I think they took a commercial break and when they came back he was still screaming his head off at him. That's out of control IMO.
I can understand ripping him a new one for a minute or two, but then you usually cool off. UT's coach just kept going and going for quite a long time.
And what makes it worse IMO... is that this is still supposed to be COLLEGE football. These kids are still supposed to be at their given school as a student first, and as an athlete second. I'm not naive enough to believe that is still the case for many of these kids, but still, these are just kids and they are going to school full time as well. These coaches only have to worry about football 24/7, and get paid well for that, but these kids have exams to worry about, projects that have to get done, papers that need written, etc, etc.

Hadn't see the video before that post. That was pretty nothing burger.
This has nothing to do with yesterday’s game but is proof of what a doosh Pruitt is.
Tennessee LB Jeremy Banks called Jeremy Pruitt, told woman 'where I'm from we shoot at cops' during arrest

The video of Banks arrest...wow what a pos. Pruitt is running a fine program for sure.

I think the announcers said something about how it looked like the quarterback went 'rogue' and changed the play trying to be the hero. If so, he deserved the ass-chewing, but I agree there's a point where it starts doing more harm than good.
I think the reason he yelled at him is because he didn't run the play that was called. A handoff to the RB was called. Instead, he tried a keeper and fumbled.
I didn't feel like it was that egregious, at least not the face mask tug. If he was yelling at him for 3 minutes straight ya it's too much.
Then why in the world did you start it?
I was just making a joke in reference to the people who keep panicking over Campbell leaving. Why you fail to grasp that is beyond my understanding, because I keep trying to explain that to you—when you keep asking.
I’m assuming it’s too early for someone to be drunk posting, of course. I have been wrong before.
If you have to explain that you were joking, you did a poor job of executing it.
And no, not drunk. Telling that you tried to pull that.
Don't bother responding.
This will be unpopular, but so be it. Things were different "back then," but the year today is 2019. That was uncalled for. If the coach was a player, that's a 15 yard penalty and none of you would even question it. You don't yank a player by his facemask. I don't care that he could have pulled even harder. It moved his head involuntarily, and that's enough for me.
It's unpopular because you, like many others, can't get past the worship you have for abusive authoritarian daddy figures. Tell me what's so different about sports that this behavior is tolerated in that workplace, but gets you fired literally *anywhere* else?
Just saw it for the first time. People are upset by this?
