Pretty sure this is bull, I could see CJP being involved in the defense, but just don't see him getting involved in the offense, or why he would. It's not like he has anything invested in JG, doesn't make sense.

HC is involved on both sides and in most teams whether HS, college, or pro makes the decision on the starting QB.

People overplay the "he's a defensive guy" narrative. Pruitt's advantage when discussing offense is that he's coached against a lot more good QB's than any OC will ever coach. That's why I'm kind of disappointed he doesn't see how easy JG is to defend.

How many would rather take the chance on.losing with BM or JG.Personally,I hope BM is the QB going forward because I rather lose with him and give him a chance than to keep playing JG.I hate to say negative things about JG but he has regressed so much since last year.He played better last year when he was getting killed every play when the play was a pass!

Count me in. A change at qb will not change the outcome of what’s already happened nor expected. Therefore I gotta look at upside and given 3 years of an opportunity I believe BM will be a top 5 qb in CFB. It’s not about what he looks like or stats of his FIRST opportunity. It’s about what he brings to the table once he’s caught on. And that isn’t easy to defend.

If he hasn’t split after the first two weeks I’m not sure what could make him leave other than going winless

Lol. How does anyone make that assessment on the future of Brian Maurer when he hasn't even started a game at QB. Top 5 in all of CFB? Ok bro

Chaney is the oc. Didn't Pruitt hire him? If you hire a man to run the offense, trust what he tells ya and let him run the offense. Good grief. If this is true, Pruitts doing a good job planning his own demise.

Chaney can't make the throws for JG. JG has to have the confidence to make those throws & not throw late. If you have to eat the ball now & then, then do so. I'm wondering if they're asking too much of him to go through too many options, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th receiver & in the meantime he's burning too much daylight before selecting a receiver. Don't know, just speculating.

Top 5?

I certainly like the enthusiasm, however, I’m not certain he’s the best QB that the Vols have on the roster. The way JG has played through 2 games I’m certain that someone else deserves a shot.

I say that because he’s already shown to be one of the best in his class. I’m talking his senior year.

You really think he doesn't see it? He's not far removed from coaching NC defenses at bama / recognizing qb deficiencies, yet he's telling us JG is the best qb we have going (while long-time Tennesseans are telling us how easy JG is to defend and that one or the other two would be better, at this point).

So, we'll see more tomorrow.

I'm not saying one of the others would be better. I'm not sure. But it is beginning to look like JG has hit his ceiling. It is possible one of the other two while not as good now... have a higher ceiling and can move past him if given a chance.

I don't wish ill on JG. He just doesn't seem to "get it".

I certainly believe you / of course no one does.

But you earlier said "That's why I'm kind of disappointed he doesn't see how easy JG is to defend" in reference to Coach P (I'm saying, that Coach does see it -- i.e. with his great defensive mind, he would have to have seen it during the previous 4 games; and apparently, what he sees in practice tells him one of the other two would be easier to defend; but, we'll see more, later today).

Based on what exactly? Do you attend practice every day? Is he your roommate?

Please be precise in describing your opinions.

Why do you believe BM will be a top 5 QB in CFB?

Maybe the coaches were waiting to get the O-line straight before they started a new QB behind it. Lol.

But what you can do...and should probably give serious consideration to when your #1 QB is 8-15...is pull all three in to your office and have a heart-to-heart convo with them. Something to the effect of "I don't know what it's going to take to score more points, but we are going to find it starting right now." "Jarrett gets the start, and the first three possessions. Impress me, and you stay in. Don't, and we go to Shrout/Maurer for the next three possessions. Same goes for you. If we get to QB #3, you're playing to stay in the game, or else we go back to JG and start over."

"If we end up with Jujuan Jennings at QB, then so be it. But we are going to find a QB who can lead this team effectively, and we are going to find him on Saturday. Florida and the rest of the SEC lie ahead. I don't have time to screw around anymore; it's time to find a leader for this offense."

"The job is Jarrett's to keep, or yours to take. Playtime is over. From this point forward, I want a meat-eater at QB. You go figure out who it's going to be."

And send them out.

Go Vols.

So if JG is 8-15, what is the rest of the teams starting records during that same stretch?

Not sure what you're going for here, but when game announcers are pointing out that your QB has issues, it's time to address those issues. Past time, actually. This has been a known weakness of JG since Day 1.

We have quality and depth issues in several places on this roster. In some areas (OL, DL), only sustained solid recruiting can fix it. Maybe it's the same at QB, but since we didn't seem to have a problem shuffling the OL to try and find the best option, I see no reason why we shouldn't do it with the QB's as well. One area of apparent strength is our receivers. Let's see who can best get them the ball on time, in space, and in stride.

Go Vols.

My point regarding Fulmer is that he is not a legendary coach. The 90s were great for UT, as were the early 2000s, but no one in the next 25 years is going to talk about Fulmer like they do Bryant, Neyland, Saban, etc. Fulmer was a great product of his age, but he’s not a legendary coach. That’s a loaded phrase. In terms of him as AD, sorry but we fired Jones because we were tired of incompetence and experimental hires at the HC position. Fulmer has one job: go and get a proven coach because Currie has made a mess of things. His result? Another experiment at the hands of a once proud program. If you think Fulmer has done an amazing job thus far, well I can point to two games alone that prove otherwise.

I agree with everything you said about Fulmer, but he's not getting a proven coach. Outside of Johnny Majors, that's never been Tennessee's MO. We don't hire guys as head coaches who have had previous success at a major program.

Why is this thread still going? Ridiculous statement by Basillo, completely unfounded. And, oh yeah, both Mauer and Strout saw considerable PT against Chatanooga.

This idiotic thread should end.

Yeah I think we know now for sure that he’s FOS. If Chaney wants a different QB it’s one that isn’t on this roster currently.

If Jarrett Guantanamo sucks against Florida he should be benched
