3-7 SEC record is .300 win%

.300 x 8-game SEC schedule is 2.4.

Pruitt is 3-3 vs non-conference FBS teams. 2-0 vs FCS teams...so 2-2 non-conference.

So, in a normal 12-game year, his record this year would be 4-8 or 5-7 at best.
At 4-8 (2-6 SEC), Pruitt’s record at UT would be 17-20 (9-15 SEC) after three seasons.

Tennessee was 4-8 (0-8 SEC) when he took over.

Let’s compare other programs at UT’s current level and see how it’s going:
Missouri:
5-7 (1-6 SEC) prior to hiring Barry Odom.

After 3 seasons, Odom went 19-19 (10-14 SEC).

He was fired in Year 4.
South Carolina:
3-9 (1-7 SEC) prior to hiring Will Muschamp.

After 3 seasons, Muschamp went 22-17 (12-12 SEC).

He was fired in Year 5
Ole Miss:
5-7 (2-6 SEC) prior to hiring Matt Luke. Wins later vacated due to NCAA violations.

After 3 seasons, Luke went 15-21 (6-18 SEC).

He was fired in Year 3.
So...tell me. Where is this confidence some of you have that Pruitt will be able to turn it around? Need evidence please.
