Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[engineerVOL]

Okay let’s be honestly for a moment, emotions aside. Do we truly think Pruitt is the problem? I know he’s the HC but I’m really thinking a lot falls on Chaney. The offense just doesn’t look good at all

I actually think so. Insecure and unsure of his teams offensive identity. He makes bad decisions. And his assistant staff is a revolving door. I wholeheartedly believe he’s the problem.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I always thought he was pretty overrated as DC.

I think he’s a good DC. Have you seen this Ansley defense. Woof

 

[KPT_VFL]

I’m gonna give Pruitt one more chance...

If he doesn’t start Bailey the next game I think I’ll just be done with him

We are an embarrassment again. I think bailey is good enough to give us hope... give him a freakin chance already. A legit one. START EM!

I thought I’d give him another chance but he’s done. You can read it all over his body language. Things have to change and it’s going to take more than a DL coach firing if he wants to succeed.

Our DBs can't cover, and it makes no sense when we have two elite DB coaches on staff.

Sad part is there is almost a 100% chance we would make a worse hire

Right. We get frustrated with coaches and dream about Freeze or Meyer and we pull in whoever is coaching North Texas

 

[Vol423]

Good news is I think our freshman and sophomores are good enough for a good coach to win with and most wont transfer. Bad news is I highly doubt we move on from Pruitt. Yay for mediocrity. I thought we could beat Arkansas and I have been supportive and saying he needs time but tonight made me feel like we’ve hit a dead need with Pruitt. Our only shot at being elite again is to pay up for a good proven head coach. I’d give Chris Petersen, Urban Meyer, Hugh Freeze all the time in the world to get this right because I know they can coach.

We’re looking WAY up to mediocre.

we are going to f*** around this year mishandling this QB situation until we have only have 2 legit QB’s on the roster

Believe me, I know, and it's maddening. Like a root canal with absolutely no anesthesia.

I've been there. I know how that feels to some extent.

Since I was a kid i idolized Tennessee football. I wanted to play and for a while it looked like a possibility. But then my knees shredded. And any hope vanished when my back went. It wasn't meant to be, but to this day I tell my wife and daughter I would give my right arm to take the field in uniform just once.

I wish I could flip a switch and not care, life would be easier and certainly more pleasant.

 

[Weezer]

We played so well in the first half. Executed a great game plan IMO. Then made no adjustments and collapsed in the second half.

 

[millst987]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Pruitt has to succeed here
We won’t do better

We are at 0 now, where's the 2?

How bad was Maurer. My goodness. Looked like one of us out there. I thought he has more than 4 attempts it was that bad

When JG went out we wasted time with half measures. Pruitt didn't have the stones.

That last sentence is me. I don't have lots of money, and I certainly don't have good health, but I love Tennessee football with a burning passion. I want to see us be good again, but each year, it seems we get farther and farther away than closer. And I can't help but feel destroyed by that.

 

[Devo182]

Does the defense look any better?

There's your answer.

Sad but true. No development. Seems we are so focused on run D that we don't cover RPOs and slants. DL gets little pressure. Completely incapable at turnovers.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Phil Fulmer cursed is again after his “the Vols are back” comment at the end of last year. He should have known better.

 

[The Dog]

here we go... how you know it’s the beginning of the end.

If I was Beckwith and Wideman, I would quit football and concentrate on basketball. 2 things are for sure, if they decide to do that, they will win and improve/develop their game, under Barnes.

 

[vol4eva]

Right. We get frustrated with coaches and dream about Freeze or Meyer and we pull in whoever is coaching North Texas

We’re making no effort to improve this program and no one in the administration cares.

 

[UTSuave’]

JG only has fkn 6 tds all year. 3 ints 913 yrds. BAD

He’s regressed look at his freshman stats

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Our DBs can't cover, and it makes no sense when we have two elite DB coaches on staff.

Makes you wonder if those coaches are actually elite.

 

[Weezer]

It feels weird to defend JG. It really does. But that kid was having a good game until he got hurt.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Maurer to Bailey’s QB coach. Things are going great...

 

[KPT_VFL]

I really believe every vol fan on earth would contribute to a gofundme to help pay for an elite coach. F the boosters.
