Yep. Thing is, there are plenty of things to criticize the coaches about, but it is not their fault that Smith gets called for hands to the face, Calbert gets called of the UC, Jennings with kick catch interference, and that JG throws to the other team. That isn't on them.

I think its crazy to be calling for a coaching change this early when it is clear to everyone watching the games that the best players on this team are the freshmen that Pruitt has recruited. We don't have talent. We don't. A talented DL gets push, no matter who the coach is. Ours gets none, 0. It's pathetic actually.

If we fired Pruitt there won't be any respectable coach taking this job. Y'all think we'll fire him and Urban Meyer will just gladly take this job. Ain't happening. And when people see our roster and that we fired Pruitt so early, there won't be any proven coaches coming here. It would be another Dooley or another Jones.

Best thing we can do is upgrade the staff and hope that Pruitt gets this thing together through recruiting. We have a long way to go to catch up with the talent we are playing on Saturdays.

Do we have the talent of GA State?
Do we have the talent of BYU?
Is the team progressing or regressing.
Does the team look like a well prepared, disciplined team?
Has waiting till the program totally burned to the ground before firing previous coaches allowed us to attract respectable coaches?
When does this staff have any accountability with the results on the field?
Should we give him 3,4,5 losing seasons before we start blaming him for the product on the field?

Auburn Defense looks so much better than ours. Big, Fast, flying around. LB’s & DB’s flying up and taking out ballcarriers 1on1 ...

We’re so bad you can turn on just about any FBS team and they will look better than us. They can block and tackle. They can cover on defense and execute offensive plays without incompletions or fumbles.

I’m still on the ride this thing out with Pruitt but with JG on the bench.

We have no choice. I believe he’s here regardless through next year. He has to improve next season. Problem is schedule is worse. How do you keep the recruiting class together? That’s where I’m the most concerned.

How do we stay in this cycle?

The least unreasonable "reason" I can imagine (not to say that it corresponds to reality) is that Chaney and Pruitt don't want to play the new QBs full-time until the GA-AL gauntlet is over.
The best thing I can say about JG since the GT game is that I didn't notice him pouting as badly today when the other guy went in and scored.

He has to know he’s not getting it done.

It should be Maurer’s jib moving forward. Take two weeks to get him ready. He’s not very good, but he at least gives you some dual-threat potential and he doesn’t make you think he’s going to turn it over every time he drops back.

I'm with you... Treat him like the starter.

Who said they don't have accountability? We absolutely should not have lost GSU no matter what.

My point is we have absolutely nothing at QB. Nothing. We are atrocious there. We have no DL. No coach could win with this QB and this DL imo. You have to at least let him get more than 1 recruiting class in. Good grief.

He isn't winning with his freshmen guys so fahr him!

Don’t know. Our only hope for recruiting is if our in state guys stay, them and HB keep the rest of the class intact. After today, I think we’re out on the bigger names and probably gonna lose 1-2 that are committed.

I thought Ed O would do better than most thought he would at LSU, but I never saw this coming. That team might actually challenge Bama this year.

The guy who said we need someone here that loves Tennessee may be on the right track. (NOT BS like Butch Jones, but REALLY loves the VOLS) Ed O loves LSU. Anyone with a heart (unless direct rival) had to root for him..

This class falls apart then what is the argument for keeping him?

For a team that has been through several coaching searches, you would think we would luck up and back into a guy that is successful.
