One of Pruitts faults. Hard headed and has very poor communication skills that a head coach needs. You treat your players that way it comes back to bite you at some point.

Yeah I'm really questioning this coach. I mean his communication, passion, and coaching is just terrible. With this terrible approach he's obviously lost the team.

Get outta here with that. Is he perfect? No. But he's obviously got the team rowing in the same direction after what some would say is the worst loss in school history in week one. Take this mentality to the FF.

They had a game plan to beat MSST. It worked.
They had a game plan to beat Bama. It worked, but the refs worked better.
They had a game plan to beat SC. It worked.
They had a game plan to beat UAB. It worked.

They will have have plans for each of the three remaining games. The last 4 games suggest strongly they will work. Fret less and enjoy the ride.

@volatil None of this would have been possible without you and the staff at STR. Specifically you, since you were the one who posted it here first but then VN did what we do...we took care of our own when they were down. We did it for RichRollin, @chargervol and several others. That's what makes this board great.

What @Atlanta VOL did today was...I can't even describe. Holy crap y'all. Not only did he pitch in a TON for Ashlee, he gave me and my girls the best day I've ever had in Neyland. He's a helluva dude too. Super nice host, down to earth, good guy, great company, and made my family feel welcome. I'll never forget that.

AV, when we get the house built, you're getting an invite to the party that I'm throwing....might not rival yours but I can give it a shot. Plus, a good friend of mine is an award winning chef, I told him he has to cater....there will be a spread.

Anyway... I'll post more when I can, we just got home. Here isr Mrs. ob79 and my girls. Ashlee's the youngest.View attachment 235661

Very disappointed with the OL last night. They took a step back and that DL kicked their ass

Bruin, I was too, but then I read where Jahmir and Darnell did not play. Sounds like the coaches rested them for the games coming up to allow them to heal up some. We do not have great depth and so I hope the play last night was based upon their absence and next week we look better and do better on the OL.

CJP is trying to win games and bring in better players. ATM he is having to deal with a JR QB that practices great, has a lot of game experience, plays poorly most of the time, and has an injured hand.... and 2 FR QBs. 1 plays well but is injury prone (needed another week of rest)and is still a FR. The other, although a RSFR, obviously doesn't practice well, has no game experience, and has a pretty deep ball. We managed to win by a lot over a team that a lot people thought we would lose to while dealing with those circumstances. Now find a way to win 2 more. Next year we can worry about enjoying how the QB plays.

Was 58 held out due to injury?


Also I was disappointed in Morris play last night.

When I see your little girl I forget all about all the sniping about who's playing QB. Very happy for you and your family..

JT went something like 7 of 11 for 122 yds last week and where did that get him. PULLED after one series that he ran 2 plays and passed one. I do not like Pruitts stunts. The kid deserved better after last weeks play. I mean that game was against SC and tonight UAB. Why on earth pull the kid when he needs all the game experience he can get. Pruitt has to be hit over the head with something before he sees the light. He is Hard Headed. Should have rewarded the kid for his play last week instead of pulling him.
Like I said in another thread, he almost chokes to have to say something encouraging about JT or Maurer.

I am really liking the way big Emerson has been playing the last few weeks. Glad he's healthy and he is really coming on!

It’s exciting that our entire DL comes back next year. Plus we get Gooden back. And we add Bailey, Hardy, Baron, Big O, and maybe Ox. That’s going to be a talented and deep room. And don’t forget JYD also

If JG comes back next year I expect Pruitt to start him or let him get the most playing time. I hope JG transfers but i doubt that he will. I hope I am wrong.

You expect CJP to start him next year even though he benched him this year for a true FR. Then after he was hurt, he started a WR and a RSFR he doesn't trust because of how he practices???

I'll admit, I'm a little worried about Kentucky. If we can stop their running game, yeah, then it's game over for them but no one has stopped them yet. We really need Maurer back for this game I believe.

We're going to beat UK as bad as we did USC or worse. The D will shut down their one dimensional offense and JJ and the gang on O will find a way to put up 40pts.

Lol that’s awesome!

They are the worst. 2007 I took Jr to the SECCG. Atlanta had stupid Christmas parade that morning and many roads around the Georgia Dome were blocked. Jr and I pushed our way through the crowd to cross in the middle of the parade. Some Georgia fan made comments as we crossed and eventually pushed him out of the way. He said “look out everyone here comes UT fans in that awful orange.” I replied “yep headed to the Georgia Dome to play in the Championship while you’re waiting for Santa.”

Was taking the train downtown for that game. We’re getting close to the dome and at one stop an older lady gets on and stands next to me. She looks around for a few minutes and then finally turns to me and asks why everyone is wearing orange. I tell her about the game and then she replies, “oh... so you’re not going to the Christmas parade”.

I’ll always remember that, she had such a confused look on her face.

Tell Pruitt. He's the one who criticized his own qb after keeping him in the whole game.
Click to expand...
We have a coach that called out his OL Harshly last night and also surprising his DL for lack of pass rush as well. He called out both QBs. He expects excellence and that’s a good thing.

Now does his criticism give us the fans the nudge and freedom to pull our support for the players?

Hell no it shouldn’t
