Pruitt’s first two seasons have started off slow and unprepared, it’s on him and his staff.
But I couldn’t be more proud of the job he’s done for our program. What an amazing turnaround from starting 1-4 and thinking we were gonna be lucky to win 3 games. Now we’re 7-5 and should get a really decent bowl. I will never forget this 2019 team!
Give it a rest fun boy ....pull the stick out of your big behind and just enjoy the improvementSorry, I hate to sound like a killjoy but I'm not proud of anything. Those first two games were unforgivable and anything short of an SEC championship wasn't going to make up for that. We salvaged the season as best we could and for that I'm glad. But the word "proud" will never be uttered from my lips when describing this season.

Let us not lose fact that Miss State, S Car, Missouri, Kentucky, and Vandy were all worse than last yr?And what's even more impressive in my mind is we're 5-3 in conference and sitting 3rd in the east.
Now while we're waiting for bowl prep let's get on the road n get some cruits to come rep the T.......

Anytime you lose the way we did at the first of the season, it's a team loss , including the coaches ...however ; let's not make this what it isn't . Coaching doesn't lose to Ga State . The group of players we put on the field should have been able to drag them into the parking lot by the middle of the 2nd qtr , rusty or not. Those losses were squarely on the players. Maybe Pruitt should have made some quick personnel changes when it was clear things weren't going well, but good players run through teams like that on instinct. Ga State was a total lack of anything resembling competitive spirit and that's on the players. Not coaching. The team finally decided it was tired of being embarrassed and it responded with 7-5 . You don't win Daytona on 5 cylinders and 3 warped wheels.
So sick of this take I keep seeing it everywhere. Having depth at QB is part of building a roster. He had to put a WR there bc he can’t recruit quarterbacks and Bowden is the best option. It doesn’t make him Bear Bryant nor is it an indication of great coaching.I like Pruitt to be COY but though it makes my Vol blood boil, I think Stoops probably should win it. He has no QB, took a WR and mostly won despite that. Saw part of their Louisville game yesterday and impressed. Pruitt putting out the dumpster fire and getting us to a bowl despite a horror beginning is impressive. Plus dealing with QB that has talent but didn't know how to use it and an OL that made it worse. A defense that was cat poop. Turning all this around is amazing. But Stoops just might have more than his toes in the door.

I have to agree with this sentiment. This team averted potential disaster and salvaged the season after that unforgivable 1-4 start. This team is still a long way from competing with the likes of Alabama, Georgia and LSU on a regular basis. Until recruiting takes a major step up you can expect nothing better than 7-8 wins each year.
Lol. Fire Pruitt agenda. Nice jump to false conclusions based on your emotions. Bless your heart.Yep
Times were way worse this time around
We won against teams we weren’t beating last year or the year before ...... Unfortunately for you we improved this year so your fire Pruitt agenda will not work right now
And last year’s team quit on Pruitt. This one did not. I agree that is an improvement. But as I believe you wrote in another thread, there’s a long way left to go. A bowl win would be a nice next step.
