Pruitt's future here may depend on...

Your take is no different than saying Pruitt should be gone after seeing his first 11 games as a head coach.

A head coach, just like coordinators, are playing with other players they didn’t recruit in their first year. To say Helton is a poor OC based on year 1 is pure stupidity and shows how little football you understand. Go play Madden some more. P
Not even close. If Pruitt doesnt read the writing on the wall and waits for Helton to prove what most people already know, it will be his head on the chopping block instead of Helton's. No excuse for 113th ranked offense with 4 and 5 star players.

I swear people who create threads like this have to be liberal. They obviously don't know anything other than wins and losses or how many points we score or give up. What this coach needs is big time recruits to come in and be willing to be coached up. The reason we looked so good last week against KY was we made them try to beat us by throwing because we stopped the run. KY isn't very good throwing. Mizzou on the other hand has a very potent offense regardless of run or pass. Once again our O-line reminded us of why we need players like Morris and Wright as well as other O-line recruits we have coming this way. As usual people on Vol Nation (not all) don't understand the process of rebuilding. We were very fortunate to win 2 SEC games thus far. We should have beaten SC, but as others have mentioned we need to get rid of the loser mentality.

Except we don’t have 4 and 5 star players on offense. You have no idea what you are talking about if you think an OC should be fired after one year taking over a 4-8 season. Pure lunacy.

The auburn and Kentucky games were the worst thing that could’ve happened for this coaching staff. Not because they didn’t need the key wins, but because those wins brought out the idiots and somehow made them think we should be competing for the title this year.

Too many dumb people that know nothing of football but watch one team and post on forums.

I laughed when he mentioned 4 & 5* players.

You don't need talent to mix up play calling. Throw a slant, screen, comeback, play action. It's run off tackle and 50/50 bombs. You have to at least try man. No excuses for lack of creativity there. Needs to get the ball in play makers hands. Needs to use Chandler in pass game more and Jennings

Gotta be the first one to pull out a pitchfork huh. Helton is not the reason we are going to lose this game. This game rests on the defense. Add in terrible play calling, turnovers and injuries. We clearly do not have enough talent. I'm sick of the next year crap as much as the next person, but that's all we got at this point. Firing coaches in their first year is not going to boost the stats. I think we need to give these coaches a couple more years before we start lighting torches.

Yeah we need to stuff it in there at will and open up the passing game. If we can't do that we deserve to lose.
We do, but you can't force it. And with a more balanced attack, I bet the run game might just open up. Run, run, pass. It's so dynamic

What’s the easiest way to minimize a horrible offensive line? You move the QB with rollouts. We do that plenty. To say Helton should be fired after year 1 with absolutely no offensive line is pure lunacy. Anyone who tries to justify it is a loon too.

These type of idiotic threads are going to be littered throughout VN. Its just sad that we have fans who just fail to understand how important stability is.
