In contention for SEC Coach of the Year according to Paul. Didn’t see that coming.
CJP represented well.
There is no doubt now CJP can coach positions, can coach defense at the DC level, is a solid gameday coach, and can make adjustments during the game as head coach. The only thing really remaining is can he recruit at a high level to compete at the top of the SEC as head coach? We don't and won't know that really for a couple of years, that is not a one done proposition.
Yeah it was a good win. Some people live in the past. Tennessee can no longer, right now anyway, take these games for granted. 7-2 Kentucky team ranked 11th. Best win was probably Florida so there were red flags. This Tennessee team wouldn't have beat kentucky early in the year though. Two totally different teams now. Kentucky will most likely finish 9-3 and still ranked so that was a good win any way you look at it.Wasn’t Kentucky ranked #11? Didn’t they beat Florida? Vol Nation has every right to be excited with that win.
From a general fan standpoint its somewhat hard to tell exactly what we have. I mean on paper we have the talent........
They probably really see that Pruitt took over a sh*t show with under developed talent.
I cannot understand why it's so hard to understand that we do not have comparable SEC talent on the roster. 4-8 last year --and did not win one SEC game.... Poor coaches recruited poor talent....and could not coach 'em even to mediocrity.
CJP has made it clear--several ways and several times--this program needs ELITE RECRUITS to build an ELITE TEAM.... We don't have the players.....it's just that simple....especially on the OL....
Can you not even see that--even in a game that we won against a WAY over-rated KY team???
You totally missed what I was saying. I 100% understand we do not have elite talent. I was saying from a general fan standpoint. Most of them looked on paper and we had star talent to compete with pretty much every team outside of AL/UGA. You saw threads of "CJP is not a good motivator, CPJ isn't getting the buy in". People upset with the media who were not giving UT much of a shot. They saw first hand just how under developed we were. Under developed because the poor S&C as well as being poorly coached.
No problem. See here is something like we see all the time. Folks put too much stock in stars when they have been 1. overrated, and 2. under developed.Okay...thanks.... I did misunderstand you...my fault. I am sorry....
I guess it's a big "oops" to those guys who posted the threads about CJP's lack of ability to motivate...
GO VOLS!
