Maurer is the only one providing a spark on offense.

His total plays average 3 yards per play. Any spark is an illusion so far. I have no problem giving him more shots, as he is young and can grow, but people thinking the offense has done any better under him are straight delusional. The facts are to the contrary.

If Pruitt doesn't work out then I'm on team go hire Bronco Mendenhall. He never had a losing season in his 11 seasons at BYU and only has 2 losing seasons in his 14 full seasons of coaching and one of those the lost in the bowl game gave him a losing season. He has lead his teams to bowl games in 13 of 14 seasons. He took over a Virginia program who was 26 and 45 in 6 seasons under the previous head coach and 4 and 8 the year before Mendenhall took over. After a 2 and 10 first season, Mendenhall has taken them to back to back bowl games while increasing Virginia's win total each season. Now currently in his 4th season at Virginia he has them 4 and 0 and ranked 18th in the country.

His overall coaching record is 119 and 65.

Why would he jeopardize that stellar record just to come here? He would have at least 3 losing seasons before he was fired here. Doesn't make sense.

I can see no benefit of keeping JG the starter. The season is shot. What is there to gain from trotting out JG. The team needs a spark.

Pruitts stubbornness is going to get him fired sooner rather than later.

Makes me think about @Atlanta VOL ‘s comment about him being protected. If he knows he is not getting fired or has anything to worry about, then his ego could take over.

I doubt he’s being stubborn because he knows he’s “protected.” Based on what we’ve seen thus far, he would be significantly damaging his career as a HC if that were the case.

In fairness, I think if they had flagged the obvious mugging of Callaway in the endzone, which would have offset the ineligible receiver penalty, I think he'd have gotten a TD on his first (crazy) drive.

Virgina was in worst shape than we are and he has turned them around. If he was afraid then he would've stayed at BYU.

Staff seems to see him as their best shot I would suppose. Fans have a hard time believing that, but nothing really shows us otherwise. Sometimes our best is not good enough, but it's still our best.

It's the same as fans thinking our players must just be quitting. They somehow work hard offseason and are our best during practice, but they must just be tanking in-game because they must have no nfl aspirations, no pride, and don't want the spotlight from winning. They are anomalies in the humam race in every psychological motivation aspect.

It's harder to accept the idea that we simply aren't any good. I doubt that players give up game 1, or 2, or their 1st sec game of the year. We just aren't good. That is the hard, cold idea to accept.

You don't swing pass to TEs typically...DWA simply hasn't been targeted much as far as I can tell. Is that schematic? Him not getting separation? Idk

Bro, it's not learnable from stats (and I like some of your stats) but if you look with your own eyes you'll see DWA open but Tunnel-Vision-QB™ has long ago (sometimes before the snap) locked in on a different receiver.

No one even know whose fault that was. But it's anecdotal regardless. Overall evidence says there's not a better option at this point. But disagree with experienced coaches all you want.

Why can't fans just support any player that is willing to go out there and keep playing for us at 1-3? Support the damn players, whoever the staff sticks out there.
