Im all but convinced the staff did not want to go to a bowl.

When Pruitt was quoted earlier as saying if they went 5-7, would they go, he said yes, we need the work. I am not sure where this is coming from. It makes no sense for them not to want to go to a bowl. I would like to know who said it, too. I don't feel like reading back through all the trash comments from trolls to find it.

He made an assumption, he literally said “I’m not saying that’s what the players want but I guarantee they’d rather go home”. I’m sure he has such a tight relationship with the players.

He also said players don’t play hard for Pruitt and they played harder and liked CBJ more

There's no way that's true. Whoever said it is wrong. Pruitt would 100% accept a bowl if UT was asked.

Yup. I’m sure after dominating Kentucky they decided to quit because “F football” even tho they worked out everyday under Pruitt. Seems logical. But trashing players and making up stuff about them seems to be the norm around here. We should get rid of Tae and Thompson too cuz they played bad so clearly they quit the final two weeks

When do you think Sankey will let someone hire Freeze? I mean, I really don't see how you can basically outlaw a dude from having a job in this league for very long.

When Saban tells him it's ok. 😂


Seriously, Sankey serves at the behest of the schools. I'm sure pressure could be applied. I think he'll be in the SEC next season in some role. Paul Finebaum hinted the other day it would be at Auburn.

Brandon Johnson’s uncle

Ah. Well, I think we have to consider the source. That might be true of Brandon, but he actually has done nothing but make excuses for his cousin since he got here. I am guessing he will be one of the players to leave. I appreciate what Brandon has done, but his PT slipped a lot this year. Palmer and Callaway both seemed to improve a lot. I did not see enough of Brandon to make a judgment.

I don’t think we have a good roster by any means. Don’t get it twisted. I think you can have a mediocre roster and make a bowl game. Even if we don’t make a bowl game fine, but we weren’t even competitive half the time we were on the field. We had 6 losses by 25+ That’s where i put some blame on coaches too. We may be bad but we’re not that bad. Getting them ready and keeping them from packing it in and playing hard is on the coaches. That’s one thing they completely failed at imo. If we lost two close games to Vanderbilt and Missouri then my outlook would be totally different.

I agree with everything you said but this. You can rah rah, jump and down and coach all you want but you can't make a player stay up that has decided to pack it in. It is the coaches job to coach and keep he players in the game but if I have mentally checked out and quit there isn't a thing a coach can do there.

It's been stated by players that are actually on the team who know. Multiple quotes from players talking about cancers on the team and other quotes talking about not everyone was buying in giving there all. So yeah I would agree after watching them play Kentucky that some did quit. Can't put it all on coaches n schemes when the players don't execute what the coaches call. If you watched the game you shoulda been able to made that determination on your own. No way the same team that played Kentucky would've lost to both Mizzou n Vandy if they had played to the same level.

Correct, I’ve already said that. But key word is SOME, and “not everyone”, I’m not denying there are some cancers or that some don’t don’t care. But to trash the whole team and call them quitters is stupid
