Interesting comment by Pruitt during his postgame press conference

[hog88]

I believe we will and things will continue to trend upward. So much was culture, which has improved drastically. As recruiting improves (and it will) things will just get better and better. I think we finally have a real football coach.

I’m hoping you are right. I’d be ecstatic if Pruitt turns out to be the next Dabo .

 

[Remy]

I’ve heard that too but how is it possible. We’ve only had handful of players leave the program and we’ve signed full classes each year? How can we be 20+ scholarship players short?

Keep in mind you can only sign 25 max in any one year. We've had quite a few go, at least enough to put us behind the 8 ball of having 60 something scholly players.

 

[Volank]

Yeah hate to break it to you but transfers count against the 25.

Haha no they don't. Geez, you spout nonsense here constantly. "Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life"

 

[utvolpj]

Traded Pruitt for Butch. Seems to have worked out perfectly

 

[TJVol95]

He needs to stop with the excuses for the start of the season.

He’s done nothing but blame himself and his staff. Didn’t throw anyone under the bus.

 

[hog88]

Because sharing that the program is on an upward trajectory means you’re falling in love?

I love that we are on an upward trend. I’m just not ready to love Pruitt yet.

Sorry but the last 3 guys have soured me.

 

[Obsessed]

Bro, don't waste your time on that moran

Lmao.

 

[TJVol95]

Can he bring in a top 15 recruiting class this year though? cause right now our class sucks

Don’t panic.

60 available scholarship players I believe.

We have unavailable players like out for season injuries like Flowers, Gooden, Buchanan; Transfers who have to sit one season like Gibbs and Hill; Redshirts like Lampley, Akporoghene, Brandon Johnson, etc.

We also have players who transferred out, graduate early and left school, medically retired and were dismissed from team (Banks). I would guess about a dozen for those reasons alone.

That's my take on the 60 number.

We lost 3 ILBs in 10 days and still won 6 of the last 7 games.

It's a different 25, but you can only bring in 25 new players in a calendar year. I believe that's how it's worded.

You might want to do some reading before you call someone “fat drunk and stupid”

Here's a link that talks about it.

Then people should stop asking him questions about it

 

[DC_Vol]

Asked about how far the program has come...

"Unless you were here the first day that I walked in this building, I don't think you understand how far we actually have come. Coach Fulmer was here. It's a long ways. I can assure you that."

It’s obvious that this November team is a much improved team from the September squad.

We all knew a culture shift had to happen if we were to find success again. I believe I’ve seen evidence of that and feel much more optimistic about the trajectory of the program.

I really believed this was a 3 win team coming out of the BYU game.

Reporters man. They’re not going to stop asking questions.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Well you’re not stupid. Not sure the other two aren’t accurate

 

[Orangeslice13]

I’d love to hear a coach respond “ask something else “. When he gets those same questions over and over

 

[Obsessed]

Damn. You have been called all kinds of bad names today.

 

[hog88]

1 was accurate, maybe 2.

 

[hog88]

Me too.

I’d love it if Pruitt answered “look we screwed up but it will never happen again on my watch”

I’m old fat and slow.

 

[hog88]

I’m old fat and slow.

It happens.

 

[The Original Fade]

No I didn’t.

Sorry but the guy still has a lot of work to do before I fall in love with him.

Weird conclusion after finishing the season with 6 straight wins and a chance for a significant bowl and 8 wins. I think you need to go see the Mr. Rogers movie.

If I’m not mistaken we beat 2 teams this season with winning records so I’m going to wait to judge .

It’s been a while since we won that many in a row.
