Your first response about it was poor with “just collecting a paycheck.” That’s fine. But just hiring a VFL would not automatically make things better. If that were the case, programs would just hire alums every time they hired a coach. You have to go find the best candidate. Pruitt absolutely has some loyalty- he gets paid and he wants to win. Doesn’t make him a poor fit.

Dude I didn’t say any of that. Y’all are just putting words in my mouth. I’m trying to freaking move on. I’m tired of hitting my head against the wall with y’all. I didn’t say hiring Tee would make things better, I said some VFls wanted him to be hired. Maybe I should have worded the cashing check comment differently. I was saying he came here for money and a promotion. I agree Pruitt was a better candidate. I said Pruitt wants to win and prove himself. Yes, he is making a terrible personnel decision at our most important position but what can I do? We good now?

I think JG is the best QB to start against Bama. The coaches see JT make these mistakes in practice, then do the exact same thing with his limited game opportunities. Why would they put him out there, just because he isn’t JG?

I think Bailey and/or Maurer should get a lot of work during the bye week and have the winner get the start against Arkansas, however by all indications they missed at least half of fall practice so they are options right now. If they pull a Peterman Then we have JG to come in off the bench.

We’ve shown a lot of flashes this year outside of GA and second half Of UK, but haven’t put it all together. This hasn’t all been on JG despite what a lot are saying.

Here’s to hoping the whole offense can get some consistency and big plays this weekend.

I think JG is the best option to play QB against Bama. Do I think he is the best one to start any other game? Absolutely not, but I don’t want to see another Peterman situation either. Help Bailey get somewhat ready for Arkansas and see what he can do, without throwing him completely into the fire.

He played in the highest division in Georgia and played top teams every week. Look at their schedule his last year. He will not be shook. This team needs something to rally around. Let it be against the in bred elephant lovers.

Also IF JG comes back next year it’s not only a knock on Pruitt for still clinging to him it’s also a knock on him for allowing JG to hurt himself even more. JG needs to pursue a career anywhere else next year if he chases another year of eligibility and try the Nathan Peterman and salvage some confidence and try and end his career on a high note. A change of scenery is probably best for him and UT.

My point is we have regressed, going the wrong direction. I'll play devil's advocate here though, so in your opinion at this point in their respective tenures were we better off under Butch it Pruitt and why?

I'm not advocating either way, I just want to know what others believe and why.

I think the program is in overall better shape. Score saturday was a mirage.

Buddy the BEST high school football is nothing compared to SEC ball much less Bama. I think we need to start HB but I’m not going to try and say high school is anything compared to what he’d face on Saturday.

You should read the first post I copied and responded to. I can’t read your mind but can read the text. Can’t interpret it any other way.

Anyway, I agree to be done.

Hubbs says Tosh may not be allowed to coach in the SEC. there’s a reason why Bama and ga get all the players

Not directed at you Bass, but the more I read this the more it pisses me off. What is Hubbs trying to say here? He broke the rules at Bama so he can’t coach anywhere else and nothing happens to Bama?

If this is just his speculation he needs to say so, otherwise spill the beans.
