We're not hiring a new coach. You guys can stop wasting your time with that topic. Please.

What we need is a transfer QB. Think of how different the season would be going had we landed Hurts, Fields, Eason, or Bryant. We'd be 3-1 if not 4-0 and the outlook on Pruitt and this team would be way different. That's what we need for next year. I love Bailey, but I'd rather not play a freshman if we don't have to, especially when we play OU next year. We need to do what OU did this year: bring in a difference making transfer and redshirt Bailey like they are Rattler so that he can develop, mature, and learn the system.

Is there one out there that anyone knows of that might be looking around? A former big time recruit who didn't win the starting job as a freshman like Fields? Or a really good QB that just got beat out by a superstar like Bryant? Bentley is probably transferring from SC. Not an elite QB, but better than anyone we have imo. Jack Sears is transferring from USC. Is he any good? Are there any more?

Landing a big time transfer QB could really change what this team is capable of in 2020.

This is the type of guy you target. Rattler is taking that spot next year and he was passed up for Hurts this year.

Most QBs transferring last year were doing so to LEAVE the SEC...

I don't think any are going to transfer in, especially to start at UT. Would be nice, but I don't think that's the answer. I like the idea of letting Maurer figure things out in the last 8 games, see if he can become the guy. Since he's likely going to be the guy to start next season anyway.

Here's the kicker though. Our best players will be sophomores with the exception of a couple from Pruitts first class. We're still going to be in a bad situation and will have to play a bunch of true freshmen again next season.

Doesn’t matter next year we have to make a bowl or he’s gone. 3 non conference wins and 3 of Vandy, Kentucky, Missouri, Vandy, and Arkansas. No bowl next year is definitely a fire-able offense.

Defensive line situation should be much better which will really help everything else on defense. Year 2 with Chaney. OL has shown nice strides this year and should be even better next year. We might be playing a freshmen QB, but if Bailey doesn’t catch on there’s no excuse for not having Maurer or Shrout or the Maryland transfer ready to go. 6 wins is absolutely a must going into a make or break year 4 for Pruitt.

Remember when we talked ourselves into Butch being the guy? Took exactly one year for that to die
