Pruitt Post Kentucky ASSwhipping

[EZE]

I don’t think he’s as bad a coach as what this thread has let on, but I am tired of opening up every post game presser talking about how little practice we had during fall camp. Like we were the only affected team. But even worse than that, I don’t think I can stand to hear again how our guys need to learn how to practice the right way. We’re still saying crap like that after the 4th game of year 3?

So true. They are his players by now. If they can’t practice properly, it is on him.

That was a Butch type comment if he said that. Dude sees the future and a big loss next week. That's a bad feeling as a fan and I thought going into the year we had a chance. Reality has hit me now.

The offense has gotten worse this year. We should be better everywhere but WR. There is a reason JG wasn't picked in any preseason teams and a reason not many were high on us.

On defense we're struggling some but the biggest problem is offensive failure. 34 points makes the defense looks bad but they didn't give up 34.

No, they gave up 17, which should be enough to win most games with a competent offense.

 

[VOLED]

Our back 7 looks lost on way too many plays. Tripps to one side and then sending a back or TE in motion and we are a lost ball in high weeds. It happens every time. If I were the OC of the other team. I would throw the slant 8 or 10 times in a row. We can't stop it.

 

[EZE]

Why does the other team always make 2nd half adjustments but we come out flat and don’t make adjustments? Do we just talk about our feeling in the locker room or what?

Outscored 44-0 in the second half the last two games by my count...do I have it right?

And still in both games at halftime.

I remember people laughing at Arkansas at how bad they were going to be and Sam Pittman being hired and they would abuse Tn and they look better than Tn has all year

I hate to say it, but my initial impressions of Pruitt when he was first hired have only been reinforced over time. I could chalk-up all the "Aight's?" in his early days to maybe just first-time head coach jitters. But he's just continued to do it, only now it's that dumb "Does that make sense?" line over and over again. I realize he's a football coach, but listening to him speak just does not instill confidence.

I was worried once I saw the video from his Hoover coaching days where he didn’t know what asparagus was.

 

[GVol1966]

All that and he still doesn't realize JG is the primary problem?

JG is not the primary problem. What’s he gonna do, take himself out and put someone else in?

 

[m1al]

He needs held accountable but the bad thing is who are we going to replace him with. Can’t keep doing this. If he can get his head out of his ass and get a qb then he wouldn’t have as much pressure on him.

This is such a NON issue. He is NOT going to be replaced any time soon.

 

[PG1]

JG is our starter next week and Pruitt will be OC.

JG will start next year too

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

I'd be far more interested in a post-game presser from AD Phil.

I doubt he has the guts to show his face for a few weeks.

Tennessee shouldn’t lose to Kentucky, at home, by 27 if they hadn’t practiced since the bowl game.

They shouldn't lose to Kentucky ever

Pittman knew you have to have decent QB play and went out and got Franks.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

It’s not just a JG issue. CJP is a DC and that’s it.

You just made a clueless post. We only gave up 294 yards and lost by 27. That is way better than average on defense. It’s JG.

 

[BeardedVol]

Watching Arkansas. Those Guys Play hard for Pittman. Our guys quit for Pruitt.. coaches matter

Arkansas is looking like a more complete team under Pittman in year one than we are under Pruitt in year three.

you are clueless sir. They imposed their will on us when it mattered. Controlled the LOS and dominated when they needed to. We quit. Again

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

JG will start next year too

He won't make it through this year, much less next year. That won't happen. GBO!

 

[JoAllan]

They shouldn't lose to Kentucky ever

They shouldn’t.....but losses will come, even to lesser teams. Tennessee just need to make that “rarely”.....instead of “frequently.”

 

[volfanhill]

The fact we are 4 weeks into the season and can’t stop a slant pass and have zero development at the QB position is why we are in this mess. And how the hell can a D expert like CJP not teach how to defend the slant?

 

[VOLED]

They shouldn’t.....but losses will come, even to lesser teams. Tennessee just need to make that “rarely”.....instead of “frequently.”

And make it competitive even in a loss

 

[JoAllan]

And make it competitive even in a loss

My mother in law is 82. Until today she had never seen Kentucky beat Tennessee by 27 points.

 

[I4Vols]

OK? Uh. Ah. So. Ya know. Uh. Uh.




Mkay?

I copied this into Google translate and it was stumped.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

You Have a minority opinion. Most here believe we still have a good defense and we do. Wr lose the time of possession and the defense gets tired the last two games. We lost TOP jn the first game by over 10 minutes. Do you understand how that works?

 

[whodatvol]

The kids saw the old Jaret against Georgia and they’ve quit. Georgia provided a simple game plan on how to shut us down and it’s not going to get better anytime soon. And we suck all around

 

[08Vol]

And the man makes 4 million dollars a year to present this way. Highest paid state employee in TN, and this is what we get for public engagement and communication skills. Tried to rationalize the concern, but it never did bode well.

People don’t seem to understand how much $4 million a year is because most of us receive weekly pay checks. Pruitt is making $73,000 a week. Next year when his raise kicks in he will be making $80,000 per week. This man is making more per week than most of us do per year, and these are the results he’s producing.

Sounds like our coaches need to learn how to coach the right way
