There is a good chance this wouldn't be a topic here today if we made Mullen our first choice instead of the bargain bin guy in Schiano (We waited too long and UF took advantage once Chip Kelly decided on UCLA)....
EDIT - We will know the answer in 3-4 years. I think the floor is higher with Mullen but there would have been a ceiling at UT for him. I think there could be a higher ceiling for Pruitt but the floor is much much lower.
Hey! I talked to a Georgia fan from my work site the other day, and he tells me that his friends that are bulldog fans is worried about Pruitt. He says about 30 to 40% of bulldog fans are worried that Smart cant beat Pruitt, but about 60% of them dont worry. He had told some of them that dont worry, that you better wake up and see what is happening with recruiting in Knoxville, and that the new spirit that they have. He and some of his friends believe that Pruitt is a smart head football coach, and his winning attitude is going to dominate over Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. He doesnt think that Kirby can beat him. Him and his friends also thinks that, Pruitt will develop players far much better than any other coach in the SEC, and be right up there with Nick Saban. He thinks 10-2 as well for Tennessee this year. He also said that if Smart is going to beat the cold, it better be this year, because after that, Georgia and Florida will struggle against yall. Ive been saying it now for a while, I just dont think Smart can beat Pruitt. I think we can beat them and Florida and go 10 and 2 this year.
How many NC rings does Mullen and his staff have? and yes that is a big indicator of coaching and developing players. Pruitt has beaten the best offenses College Football has had......why is that not enough credibility that he builds a better team this year?
lol this isn't the case at all. No one believes that Smart is incapable of beating Pruitt just like no one believes that Pruitt is incapable of beating smart. As a Georgia fan I guarantee Smart will win some and Pruitt will win some. I predict a Smart win this year simply on talent differential, but next year is a different story.
Did you talk to his friends?
Ignoring the fact that I went to UGA so I probably know a bit more UGA fans, do you think its realistic for a fan base that just had its best season in 37 years and best recruiting class ever to believe a team that just went through a coaching change will be so good that theres absolutely no chance theyll win? I doubt 30-40% of any sec team fan base believes that their team has a 0% chance to win against another sec team. Read my previous post, I'm not trolling saying UT has no chance in winning. My point is that its ridiculous to claim that 30-40% of UGA fans believe that Smart will never beat Pruitt. Just from reading this board the general consensus on UGA fans is that they are overly confident given their team's tendency to blow big games and not finish, and I'd agree with that. However you can't have it both ways.
Haha, I just wondered if you talk to his friends, evidently someone thinks what you said no one does.
lol I thought you were just giving me flack for being a UGA fan here, which is why you can see the extra effort I added in the edit. I'm sure there's been tons of obnoxious trolls here, UGA in particular, so I tried to add in the olive branch in the last part. Seems like no football brings out the worst in people... just look at the news! :lolabove:
How can UGA fans watch the news? Usually your TV breaks during games that you lose in a heart-breaking fashion......
Believe me... I know. I remember watching the Dobbnail game and after the Eason touchdown pass I told my wife that it would be the most Georgia thing in the world to lose the game after that. She was amazed that I called it. I wasn't. My TV didnt break, but my heart did. You'd think we'd get used to it by now, but all state of Georgia teams find new ways of letting us down every year. I can only hope my braves don't have another september implosion.
I thought Braves baseball was the one thing UT and UGA fans could agree on outside of a mutual hate of Alabama.
Well, as it says, it's based heavily on last year's performance. Hence the 5-7 prediction. That's certainly possible but then again almost anything is possible in college football.
I am a Braves fan, but I lived in the Atlanta area for 40 years. I guess that is the main reason I do not like Georgia football. I don't mind seeing Ga. Tech win a few games each year. I do like Varsity hot dogs.
Understandable. There are a lot of obnoxious barkers here. Chili dog and onion rings was always my go to at the varsity. Its definitely different not going to Atlanta for Braves games any more. The new stadium is nice though.
That is true but....
You also have to remember who the caretaker of TN football was at that time also....
New Sheriff in town now...things gonna be a lot different..
We will all be surprised what coaching can do for this team...
GBO
we win 8 games this year minimum...:clapping:

You and fade are so funny. If we had hired Dan Fawkin Mullen you two would have us winning 10 games going to Atlanta and being the first team to make the playoffs with 2 losses. Lmao.
:crazy:
