Jeremy Pruitt on Tennessee fans at spring game: "Why wasn't they here?"

Perhaps we’ve underestimated Vol Fans all these years and they just wanted a coach who could speak proper grammar.

Why wasn’t they”? Really?

How does an individual (a) get hired, and (b) retain said employment with this type of under-developed language skills?


Would the “Gorilla” have ever uttered such words? :oops:

Maybe I’m just not fluent in Tennessee speech patterns but “there were some people that wudint here that..........why wudint they here?” is a bit much. Three ‘that wudint here’s’ in 17 seconds. :(

65,000 isn’t bad for a spring game. I get that he was pushing for 102,000 but that’s a long shot when looking back on historical spring attendance figures around the country.

He's using the same page as Franklin, except he seems to be cut from the same cloth as Saban and has that sour, nothing-is-ever-good-enough mentality. The pressure is on. This is their 4th or 5th reshuffling of the deck since Fulmer.
 
These two were in attendance....

Somebody forgot to update the rock and no one knew when it was. Or, everyone was still too worn out from smearing Schiano.
 
He said “weren’t” but his pronunciation/ dialect makes it difficult to understand, but he didn’t say “wasn’t “.

Mom is also from Tennessee.
 
my company commander in boot camp was a bosun's mate from Tennessee, and he was the first person I ever met from that state

he was the single dumbest human being I've ever met, but maybe average for Tennessee
