How much longer does Pruitt survive in Knoxville?

I think the Jeremy Banks saga has the potential to turn in to another Urban Meyer type scandal. It appears Pruitt already knew about the Aug 24th cell phone video before the arrest video came out, and only dismissed him because he was given the heads up the media had it.
The embers are smoldering on Rocky Top.

If he could pull a Miracle off today, I think he would be good to go for 5 more years.
I don’t know his buyout but I’d expect their board of regents won’t pull the trigger until next year unless some smoking gun emerges allowing them to void it.
Can’t keep restarting the program. Needs to show some progress next year or he’s gone
He’s lost his team! They’re quitting on him and you can see it in their expressions on their face!
I'm confident he'll be there tonight.
He has to show a lot of improvement over what the team has done so far this season or it seems likely he won't be back next year. I do think a 7-5 record would buy him another year though.
He wouldn't be the first or the last great coordinator who isn't cut out to be a head coach.
Tennessee is scrèwed if he stays and worse off if they replace him and start over (again).
He's a smart guy who says really stupīd things far too often for a head coach. He's also a hot head, etc.
In other words when he is finally fired at Tennessee I want him hired at Florida. Head coach (not DC). A natural fit there.
Go, Dawgs!
I wonder if UT fans are still convinced that Bama is coming after Pruitt when Saban retires.....
7-5 seems nearly impossible. It could get dicey if they lose out in the conference again.
His meter will tick up after tonight .... I expect the Vols will play their best game since last year in Athens ..... Pruitt wants to beat CKS ass and he will go all in the players will too .....we escape like a guy running from a burning building
Who knows, I don’t think any big time coach wants that job. The great pumpkin may end up HC again
They need it. A boat race will double the number of pitchforks.
