“Those 13 jerseys are going to be around a long time.”-- Brock Bowers, The Athletic, 1/10/23
“These hicks ran my fat ass off a few years ago, now they hired me back, are gonna pay me a fortune, and expect me to save the football program after I hired the ninth guy we talked to… is this a great country or what?’

I hate to tell y’all this, but CJP and the Phil may end up like long lost brothers. Got Sr. has some cronies that are still close to our program and they (and he) think that these two have similar mindsets. They think PF will bully the UT administration in Pruitt’s favor until CJP gets what he wants and Phil has Pruitt’s back. I figured it would be an adversarial relationship, I was corrected in no uncertain terms that the CJP/ Richt differences were centered around the culture of the team, and CJP and Fulmer are on the same page. IMO, that makes them dangerous and I’d bet Phil has a pretty big chip on his shoulder after the 0-8 performance last year. It won’t happen overnight, but I’m guessing in a couple of years UT will be the team we have to worry about most in the East. Just my $.02 and rumors, but I can see it going that way.

Unless, the Redneck can start beating Kirby for players and Saban on the field, I see no way they challenge us for dominance of the East. OTOH, Mullen and UF worry me because Mullen will get players.

Point taken, but there are only so many roster spots at Bama and UGA. There is a load of talent in the southeast and UT will get their share, especially once recruits see the opportunity to play early for a competent, dare I say talented, coaching staff.
UGA ran roughshod over the East last year. I expect the same this year, but I can see the East toughening up some after that.

I can see that. I’m sure they’re gonna bend every rule to win and Phil will push the admin to allow it. The problem for UT is that two of their three main rivals have coaches that will use every drop of energy they have to recruit. The third, UF, has a wealth of talent in-state that UT can only dream of. UT is in a tough spot. This isn’t latent Alabama and Georgia that Phil coached against.

I think the take you are hearing is what UT boosters HOPE is true more than it is what they KNOW to be true.

FWIW I agree with Cowdog. As soon as I heard the hillbillies had hired Pruitt I got nervous. Pruitt can coach. Those rednecks backed into a great hire. May take a few years (read more than 2) but as long as Pruitt and Phat Phil don’t get sideways……
