Wow, in hindsight, what a pathetically horrid take. Oh well.Arkansas is improved and they were a dumpster fire like us last year. They were a play away from upsetting A&M today. So what's our coach's excuse when a program that was worse than us is going toe to toe with top 25 teams in the coach's second year? No excuse
I agree, A&M has hardly looked impressive this year. "Almost beating them" not much to crow about. And the few times I've seen Arkansas they've looked like a team about to fire their coach( and did) and now looked like a team that just fired their coach. Pretty dumb to compare a bowl bound team to them.Jimbo is sweating bullets. He knows these efforts arent worth what they pay him.
The poster bumping these threads has more names than anyone to hide his terrible takes

This is a much more realistic scenario
No,you fire Jeremy Pruitt in December when Tennessee finishes 2-10. There wont be a recruiting class to speak of in 2020 because of this abortion of a football season,
Arkansas has 53 freshmen on their roster. And that team, with a backup quarterback, is far more competitive against an above-average SEC team than we are at this moment.
They have better coaches with more experience than what we have right now. Their players can see the improvement and are buying in. They play with heart and confidence across the board. That is what an experienced head coach who knows a thing or two about rebuilding can do even in the most difficult of situations.
Rebuilding implies progression. Arkansas has not won an SEC game since 2017. But they look far better as a team than Tennessee looks right now with both coaching staffs in their second season.
Pruitt had better be thankful we aren't playing Arkansas. Arkansas would easily have their first win...and a host of recruiting groupies who inexplicably worship Pruitt would have their eyes opened to reality.
Morris is a superior coach in terms of tactical understanding and teaching. They lose to San Jose State and the game isn't close. Do they lay down and die for Texas A&M? No. They fight to the end.
Pruitt gets his doors blown off by Shawn Elliot and Georgia State. Does Tennessee lay down and die for Florida? Hard to tell when Mullen treats the game like a scrimmage against Stetson.
Bammer Butch is in over his head. But be thankful: he is at least 100 times better at being unqualified than he was in his first year.
