Pruitt SEC Coach of the Year

[secking]

Brad Crawford just said on Finebaum he believes the SEC COY will be Pruitt. He said he believes UT will be 8-4 this year (same as my prediction).

Would 8-4 net Pruitt the Coach of the Year Award iyo?

 

[Nationdom]

9-3 will get him coy. 8-4 is almost a given

 

[Grudenhaslanded]

He hasn’t seen the progress, or complete lack of progress, of our offensive line.

 

[Hulavol]

I think 7-5 would be good enough given the shocking lack of talent on this team...

 

[BeardedVol]

Maybe we should you know, wait till the season actually starts before we start crowning Pruitt COY; just maybe.

depends on who is in the 8 and who is in the 4.

i don't think you can give COY w/out a win over UGA, Bama or UF. 8-4 in and of itself, kinda implies you lose those 3 games + 1 that most of us would think is at worst a toss up game...MSU/USCe/UK/BYU/MO....

i'd be hard pressed to be upset about 8-4 mind you. but i dunno about COY stuff. i'd be thrilled personally.

8-4 would be a very good season, this team still has a long ways to go before becoming good again and 8-4 would be a step in the right direction.

8-4 is not a given. Anything over 7 wins will be a real achievement.

Jeremy Pruitt will definately be named SEC Coach Of The Year when Tennessee goes 9-3 in 2019

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I don't think even 9 wins would net a coach COY honors, much less 8.

Remember, this program is only two years removed from our last 9 win season. In fact, from back-to-back 9-win seasons. A significant number of players on our roster were part of at least one of those 9-win seasons. We love talking about how bare the cupboard is, but getting to 9 wins doesn't take 85 potential Heisman winners.

Sure, it would be great progress to get to 9 this year. Would be wonderful. But no one is going to win CoY for it. Simply won't happen.

9 regular season wins could do it for Jeremy Pruitt. Botch Jones only had 9 wins after the Outback and Music City Bowls.

If 8 wins = COY; then COY = "participation trophy"

 

[maxorange]

what is guaranteed to be different about this team that makes 8 games a "given"? (other than wishful expectations)

Until that OL improves to a satisfactory level...good luck

You can't take too much out of a glorified spring practice. I think Tennessee's offensive line will be much improved in 2019.

Then he gone.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Then he gone.

Yeah when he gets going strongly at Tennessee he will become a possible successor to Nick Satan at Alabama. Jeremy Pruitt in that case would make sense for Alabama because i don't think Dabo Swinney will be leaving Clemson.

Yes

 

[Dudleys87]

The OL better make a monumental leap in progress If Tennessee gets to 8-4

 

[OldLofter]

Let’s just play some games first! (It’s going to be a long time until the first game)

Here's a schedule breakdown for Tennessee's first opponent in 2019 the Georgia State Panthers. College Football News thinks they will be 4-8 in 2019.

Who's Brad Crawford?

 

[Manning Up]

Ummmm….no they won't.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

If he goes 9-3 he'll probably get poached and we'll be in the hunt for another HC and staff.

I think Phil Fulmer would fight to keep Jeremy Pruitt and he wont roll over like past Tennessee Athletic Directors

I'm sure Phil would make a go of it. In any case, I am guessing Jeremy is in a good position to get a pay raise one way or another. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
