'19 Recruiting Forum: Official Florida Pregame/Game Thread

[engineerVOL]

I really don't get the meltdown. Did anybody really expect us to beat Florida?

They aren’t 28 points better. Not with the backup QB and losing two defensive starters.

 

[TheApprentice]

Thank god for Rick Barnes

 

[WebbCobb]

If anyone has some positives, I need to hear them now. Even if they are not true

 

[StoVol]

DL sucks
Lb's average
secondary average


Offense way below average

 

[NMVol]

The Vols are not a disciplined football team.

 

[headhunter15]

I’ll be watching because I just love Tennessee Football. However, I don’t expect any positive this year.

 

[I4Jay]

This team will be bad for a long time.

Yup. Especially if we don’t identify why these coaches can’t get these players to reach their potential and stop surviving off talent

 

[Devo182]

I really don't get the meltdown. Did anybody really expect us to beat Florida?

Expected competitiveness for sure. They are missing 2 of their best defenders and starting qb. This is inexcusably bad. 3 POINTS??

 

[Aesius]

We have to hire a coach with a vision and a clearly defined system even if it's kinda gimmicky. This whole trying to be a store brand version of Bama or UGA or whatever is NOT going to work. We are too far behind to make it happen.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Im sorry....i know we dont need another coaching search but we are staring at 2-10 or 3-9 season right in the face. Their has been a decline in this team ever since the Missouri last year. How do you not fire Pruitt if that happens?

Who do you hire if you do? Urban Meyer isn’t walking through this door. 2 years, with this roster? We better find us a high school coach cause no one else would take this job

 

[volfanCLT]

Hey know!

I guarandamtee you I would get the ball out quicker. No chance for a sack. I'd just chuck the think out of bounds.

 

[csprig9]

I have to admit
I unfortunately thought we had a chance to win this game
We are gonna be lucky to win 3 this year as bad as I hate to say it
We are just bad
This is not a good Florida team

Yes, a lot of folks here did, and they are probably the ones melting down. They simply can’t think rationally. This team lost to GSU, and folks were on here calling for a win. It’s past absurd.

I’m totally numb right now, but I’m not pissed. Rational thinking helps guys.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I didnt expect to beat Florida but this is pathetic. Pruitt isn't the guy. Hell Vandy scored 24 on a better LSU team

Yep, can’t even imagine how bad that would be, but I’m done with our gomer Pyle lookin bammer HC.

 

[Ashevolle]

Not hire shi* coaches...... use that money to hire proven winners. Not take flyers on first time head coach and a bunch of recruit first assistants.

Why would a proven winner come here? Urban Meyer is the only proven winner we could get in a room with and he'll have better options.

 

[Kingston Vol]

That’s all we want. 7-9 wins **** it. This is misery

Currie calls Mullen back and we win 8 games this year

 

[jjay2518]

Somewhere along the way, we have made Marquez Calloway a worse football player than he was two years ago. Jesus this is hard to stomach
No one on this squad has improved since walking on campus.
Smh there’s a disconnect somewhere between teacher and student

We've got a lot of position coaches with good reputations. How does nobody ever get coached up?

 

[WTNVol2]

The worst part about it is Florida has not played good. They haven’t really been good in years and we can’t even compete.

 

[HankHill]

Probably 1-2 head coaches away.

Nah. Hire the right guy and and it gets better pretty quickly.

 

[Paper_Towel]

Well I guess the negavols will take over the RF now.

So realizing you're team is HORSECHIT makes you a negavol?

 

[headhunter15]

My gosh. LSU looks like a monster on offense.

This is what bothers me most. I felt like this was a staff that should develop guys.

 

[volfanCLT]

Vandy also has given up 59 in 2.5 quarters

 

[Dudley Smith]

Right, like Michigan did.

And you’re assuming any decent coach with a history of success would come to this smoking crater of what used to be a football program.

There really is. I was optimistic Pruitt would field a competent defense and Chaney would fix some issues.
