Too much logic in this post. Just because we have better players than dozens of group of five and other awful teams that have better offensive production than we do doesn't mean we should actually expect an OC to be able to do anything with them. It doesn't matter at all whether or not an OC has any imagination or forethought to his gameplan. He calls plays; what more do you want?Not to me...I said the same thing about him last week. 113 ranked offense is unacceptable.
Pruitt's future is gonna depend on his ability to bring in the recruits all it really is. For whatever reason alot of vols never seem to realize the disadvantage we face with in state talent. Fulmer recruited his ass off and over came it.
I knew we weren't going to score on the drive where we had first and goal because I knew we'd run it twice in a row. I had no idea Helton would be incompetent enough to try to run it in on third down with a QB who makes Tom Brady look fast. A play-action pass on first down on that series would likely have been an automatic TD.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

There is certainly truth to that. Maybe we could rent an OL from some group of five team? I just was speechless that they ran a QB keeper twice in four plays with that QB and that line.I dunno man. I expect we should impose our will and punch it in. The Tennessee offensive line last week could do that. And I remember Butch Jones being on the goal line and they were passing the football coming away with nothing.
Being the smartest kid on this short bus wont cut it. Pruitt is D guy and he needs a proven coordinator...especially given the fact that he is a first year HC. I hope he realizes it before it is too late.To even consider Pruitt’s future after this year is laughable ... you’d have to be Ray Charles not to see the vast improvement over Lyle
