Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[jakez4ut]

Funniest ish ever watching people throw out arbitrary numbers about how many wins Pruitt needs.

Lol yeah... Let's start with 1..

 

[rekinhavoc]

The biggest play that swing the game IMO

The reverse on 4 and 1. Stupid Stupid Stupid.
Chaney is making me question his thought process in critical moments. Called a good game but in the clutch not his best.

Bumpus played 1 hella of game. After all the position changes it paid off last nite. Also OL looked a trillion times better. Still don’t like rotating the guys the way they did. Really think this has to ultimately due with Trey health. Everyone talks about JG but #2 on defense has no processed AT ALL.

So what your saying is UT dropped a deuce on national TV.

Season is pretty much wrapped up. Don’t see them making a bowl game obviously. No point in firing them until after the year if we go that route. See what they can keep recruiting wise I suppose.

I would like to see them settle on the young line, sub accordingly.

Same for defense. Play the young guys, get playmakers out there if we have any.

Please please please give another QB a chance to lead. Tell them, don’t worry about anything but leading your team. We need someone to take command and play.

I still can’t understand how anyone who watched this game could say this was on coaches out side of maybe a 50/50 decision to go for it on a 4th down.

The team was night and day different from last week outside of JG and a huge busted play by AT.

It’s the easy out. “Oh, we lost? Then obviously we need to fahr the coach!”

I actually liked the call on the sweep. It had a chance to go the distance. BYU player made a great read. Haven’t rewatched it but I feel like we missed a block. They were selling out on the run play we kept gashing them for. In hind sight, we should have just kicked the two field goals and walked out of there. I actually didn’t like the other 4th down play call earlier in the game. Maybe that’s just us all having different views which is good. Overall I liked Chaney leaning on the run because it was working and obviously JG was not capable. He worked with what he had. If JG could sling it, that offense should have put up 40+ on BYU.

Coaching staff coached well and players played fine except JG.

Was it a crucial mistake by AT? Absolutely.

JG needs to hit the transfer portal. He needs to be at Rutgers or anywhere else.

Regarding misallignments, that's player dedication to the playbook. Not indicative of coaching.

JG has a substantial amount of content to review in the film room. Probably twice as many mistakes as everyone else combined. Cant have a guy like that in the field. You're either a gamer or you're not. JG is not

They gotta have a witch to burn..

 

[Volbucky]

If we had a QB to make throws and good decisions we would have won by 20 something and we'd look great. But we don't... Yet. It really is that simple.

 

[StoVol]

reading about yesterday's games on cbs sports and stumbled on this

Tennessee isn't close to being fixable: A sure sign of a program in trouble is finding inventive and life-questioning ways to lose. Tennessee did just that in a 29-26 double-overtime loss to BYU. The Vols should have beaten BYU 16-13 but inexplicably fell asleep in the final seconds by allowing a late 64-yard pass from Zach Wilson to Micah Simon, leading to the Cougars setting up a game-tying field goal. Tennessee committed more mistakes than that, but you can boil the misery of the past several years down to that moment: an inability to close it out. You can change quarterbacks, you can even change coaches -- who knows, maybe Jeremy Pruitt isn't the answer -- but changing the culture takes time. Tennessee is broken, and the instructions to fix it might as well be for an IKEA futon.

Bumphus and Toot Toot looked really good last night.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

We need to force turnovers. Need Bryce and Bituli back.

Don’t count on Bryce being back… He will probably be dismissed for yelling at his girlfriend.

 

[volfaninpa]

Should we start another new recruiting talk thread?

I'm afraid we'd have "recruiting talk 10" by the time November rolled around.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Thinking about starting a fire and burning all of my Tennessee gear this afternoon… Anyone who lives in the Metro Atlanta area, do you want to come down to Newnan, Georgia and toss yours in it, too?

what size do you wear?

I also didn’t like the play calling from Chaney. Way too predictable.

By the way JG played I think it made it more predictable. Not much more you can do with a QB as bad as ours. Makes playing calling harder when you don't have confidence in your QB to throw it.

 

[Orange Studs]

We lost tonight.. but this team can beat Florida. Sont @ me.

Not with JG back there.

 

[volfanCLT]

This is how you address the fans. Other players from last week who halfway went after the fans should take notes.

Crowd was AMAZING last night after arguably the worst loss in program history.

 

[JCP201]

So, are we firing everyone or is it just going take longer with Pruitt ?

Much better team effort. Fans were incredible (Makes me teary) they showed up a made huge noise. Coaches did their job and were fired up. We need a better quarterback.

 

[govols24]

It ain’t going to change over night. I literally can’t understand someone who spends so much time in the RF who doesn’t understand the rebuild we’re going through.

Folks are either selfish or tone-deaf.

Yep. Can’t expect to beat programs like Georgia State and BYU until year 4 at least.

 

[Vols4us]

Who makes the decision on which QB plays an entire game while losing the last 4 games in a row?

Yep. The HC who is going to get fired if he keeps making the same decision.

 

[rjd970]

Didn't care before the game and still don’t the day after.

 

[JCP201]

The one I saw JG looked at him like whatever.

My husband lost it over that. Same self-centered brat that pouted because they didn't want to play him during freshman year.

Simple as this. It really is.

I think that is just his face tbh
