11-2 as a starter. Proven winner. Provides much needed depth. Remember last year?
Agree but folks think Pruitt can do no wrong.
What does McBrides stats have to do with Chryst being a major upgrade over GUARANTANO?
Watching Chryst, what does he bring to the table that JG doesn't already? Maybe he proves me wrong but right now I'm not seeing it. What Stanford does and our athletes on offense are two totally different things.
The run game and defense account for the record.
He had a worse year individually than JG had as a freshman on our worst squad ever. His one 200 yard game was against Rice and he lost his job.
We definitely needed the depth though.
No, nobodys saying that, hell surely make his own mistakes. Folks are just thrilled hes not Butch Jones, which automatically makes our coaching situation light years better.....especially since hes got the pedigree of a real football coach and not a carnival barker.
Just because he has got a pedigree doesn't imply he will be any better. Folks were thrilled with Dooley too because of the name.
His success as an assistant could have been due to the head coaches he was working under. Time will tell - but he seems to have not made much of an effort to convince good players (other than Jennings) to stay.

. . . he seems to have not made much of an effort to convince good players (other than Jennings) to stay.
Maybe that's because he didn't want them to stay.
If there is one thing that has already become VERY obvious it is that Pruitt has a very different opinion of what makes a good football player than did Jones.
So a boom is having a QB that lost the starting job at another school on commit to Tennessee?
Depending how things go we may be down to 2 QB's by the time the season starts with 2 transferring.
And if history is any indication the three that leave Tennessee will look like world beaters at their new schools and you all that are booming will be complaining like you were are Peterman, Ferguson and others around Pruitt not giving them a chance.
My gut at this point tells me that 2018 is going to be as bad, maybe worse than 2017 and 2019 will probably not be any better.

With Chryst not here till Sunday, JG will get every opportunity to win the job. With his tweets, sounds like he's ready to compete. That said you have to think Pruitt and Helton gave Chryst a good indicator he has the advantage.
Pruitt said he made sure to make it clear to Chryst and any other GT that starting is not guaranteed or that they would even be a favorite. It scared a few guys off. Pruitt really likes JG and he is here for the spring.
The only thing Pruitt told Chryst is he would have a chance to compete when he gets here. It's going to be tough to overtake JG though.
