Of course it will be quick. He already knows it's JG. Gotta give Chryst a shot though, just in case he is better than he has ever been and shows something.
Dont you think Helton wouldve known what they were getting when asking him to come on as a grad transfer? Im not saying he should win the job, but they had a pretty good idea of what they were getting after scouting him and being in the same conference.

Not sure what Helton/Pruitt thought, but I'm sure Chryst thought he'd have a great job of winning the starting job given this is his last year of eligibility. I figure he wouldn't even consider going to a school where he didn't think he'd have a great chance of starting.
Based on what I'm hearing/reading though, it sounds like it is most definitely JG's to lose. It's entirely plausible Chryst was brought on for depth because they were afraid McBride might leave.
I don't think it was the fear of McBride leaving so much as the lack of faith the coaches have in McBride to be effective if JG were to go down.
There is no way that JG starts the first game. KC wasn't signed to play back-up. And McBride was as effective as JG last year, which isn't saying anything.
I agree that when McBride transfers he'll most likely be successful, with one caveat: As long as it's FCS or D2. That kid is nowhere near being a D1 QB. I appreciate him burning his shirt and stepping up, but he just doesn't have it for SEC level ball.
On Pruitt's comments, yes it could mean he loves him some Gitmo and wants him to be the guy, or it also could mean he's seen enough to know he's NOT the guy and is planning to sink or swim with Chryst. And recent history suggests a really good true freshman QB can be successful, just look at UGA & Bama. So it's possible CJP is leaning toward starting his year zero with a true freshman and see what happens. I still think he'd technically start an older player the first game, but get the freshman in early and see what goes.
I disagree with this. Pruitt said good things about McBride. Do I think that means anything? No, I don't. But if McBride does transfer, whatever school he goes to will have a great QB who will end up putting up some big numbers.

Keller chryst's intentions on why he came here holds no bearing on if he will start. Any player goes to a team expecting to play and make an impact, doesn't mean they will. Just like pruitt never would promise the job to JG when he showed up, he didn't promise the job or give assurances to chryst, that's not what a good coach does, that's some butch level stuff.
