Does that mean you fire him, or just give him a failing grade and tell him to get his chit together or gtfo?
Pretty obvious that our lack of depth especially on defense was the main problem in those games. Both teams boat raced us and we didn't have an offense capable of picking up the slack. Coaching was an obvious improvement last year. Will only get better this year imo. Year 3 and 4 will be our reward for enduring years of embarrassing football.Florida was embarrassing. What happened with Vandy and Mizz after Kentucky?
Mullen had a much better roster, what is your point?
We all have to wait for this coming season to gauge for improvement, that's understood. I think CJP was a good hire, again, too soon to tell for sure, but his coaching in four games last year disappointed me. They were:Yea, I've heard it all before, except for "we couldn't cover our mouth", nice. I'm not going to spend the next hour criticizing Pruitt just to justify to you why I give him a D for last year. Maybe that's a little harsh for him but Florida is a trigger for me and that chit was embarrassing.
That certainly wasn’t the narrative coming into the season and after the first few games, especially after UF lost to Kentucky at home for the first time since disco was popular. In fact, the UF-UT game was pretty much seen as a toss-up, both teams with new coaches and seemingly evenly-matched. I think UF’s roster was better based on superior coaching.
If Pruitt was at UF and Mullen was at UT last year, no way Florida wins that game.

I feel like people with unrealistic expectations do just as much, if not more damage to our program mana than the "all negativity all the time" group. Your top 5 recruiting class prediction is trying to teach you a valuable lesson. You should listen...Expect a big jump in year two, very few coaches that don’t make that jump last past year 4 so everyone will know this year if Pruitt is the real deal. Still think 8 wins is the floor (and been blasted for it). 4 cupcakes is a given and going just 4-4 in the league is within reason imo. Friend will have that OL in much better shape if he follows his own history. Players can just instinctively play instead of having to overthink every play.
Can I be wrong? Yep, already missed the mark on recruiting. I predicted a top 5 class for Pruitt in what is called the bump class. Figured top 10 at worst, honestly surprised he didn’t hit top 10.:You are just selling your vision and a players dream of early, early playing time. Normally the bump class is the high mark for a coaches recruiting. Players don’t look at the play on the field. This year, they will. He must win on the field this year, if he does, think he will crack top 10.
Think UT beats UF this year. I predicted AU last year, for months.
Wrong. They were better because they are just better. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that when you watch the Florida vs Tennessee game. Florida's defense was elite.
But when we went position-by-position before the season last year, and I had Florida better at most every postition, many here countered that I was completely wrong and UT was in fact better at most positions. Well, after UF won by 4 TDs in Neyland, the narrative changed and it became “Florida is just better, has better players” etc. Can’t have it both ways, friends.
Nonsense/ red herring.
Truth. The threads still exist... I can’t even count the number of posters who excoriated me for saying UF had better RBs, WRs, pass rushers, and the QB position was a “push.” I was actually wrong about that, as Franks was much better than JG as well.
So I’m just a little surprised at how many are now saying UF had better players. I actually think it’s a combination of better players and better coaching.
Uf clearly had the better talent and an experienced head coach. If UF had our Offensive and defensive lines.I doubt they would beaten us last year. I expect the offense to be much better thjis Fall with Chaney directing the offense. I think the defense will be better if for no other reason, they offense will keep the defense off the fiel more than in the last 2-3 years. I actually think the defense will be stronger and faster than our defenses over the last 5-6 years. Come November and without any major injuries to key players, I think we will beat UF and give UGa a really good game, if not even win that game. Chaney will add an average of 10-14 points over last year's average. I think we will see a real jump in LB and Secondary play. Happy Days are just around the corner.Wrong.

Wow, a person who believes in a glass half full. Good for them, but doubt their predictions come true. But we can all dream.Uf clearly had the better talent and an experienced head coach.
