Pruitt does not coach to keep games close. even when behind by double digits he takes chances which often times leads to blow outs but sometimes leads to a come back (i.e. UI bowl game on side kick). Remember in the UF game last year when he kept calling all out blitzes and lead to UF hitting several scores in the second half that made the score larger, but he was trying to get the ball back and create a turnover. Butch would play conservative to try to keep game close because he was all about PR.

He certainly didn’t coach Saturday that way. He packed it in early and often and gave up.

I am in quarantine by the state department of health because someone (who they cannot name) thought they were around me on a day (they cannot recall) and that someone tested positive for Covid. If I violate the quarantine, then I am breaking my governors executive order which is being challenged in the state Supreme Court. In the meantime, the state department of health has my phone number and want to track my progress over the 14 day quarantine.

I want Bailey to start from here on out. However, I'm just not sure if we're good enough on offense to only run 30-40% of the playbook and have much success. So, I feel like its probably safe to say that we will have musical chairs at QB from here on out unless 1 of the 4 just balls out. I'm not even worried about wins and losses at this point or "who gives us the best chance at success". I just want to see the "somewhat" competent offense we had in the Missouri game. Ill take that over the last 6 quarters we've had.

If we execute, we can be successful.

Idk who in here exactly needs to hear this but you don’t want Pruitt fired. You just don’t. You’re either just still emotionally charged or really, really stupid.

If you lose Pruitt, you risk the following:

-The collapse of a top 10 recruiting class in which we’d be scrambling to make top 25 while Alabama and Georgia grab all of our elite players. You think a guy like Kaidon Salter is gonna come to a school halfway across the country to a coaching staff he doesn’t know or can’t visit?
-Henry To’oto’o transferring back our West because Neidermeyer is gone
-Crouch transferring to an NC school
-Darnell Wright transferring back to WVU
-Harrison Bailey checking out to go somewhere else
-Most of the 2020 guys on defense transferring out
-Anyone that has any decent chance of going pro doing so instead of trying to up their stock (meaning the loss of Cade Mays, Bryce Thompson who are definitely guys that could stick around another year).

and another thing: who you gonna go get? Urban Meyer is NOT walking through the front door guys. The athletic department just doesn’t have the coin for that and the boosters wont pay up, plus what would his price be anyways? Probably too much.

PJ Fleck would not be given the time to build a team here. I’m not even sure he’d cut it in the SEC. Plus would he leave probably the safest job in America that’s not Clemson for somewhere where we want coaches canned in year 3 if they’re not torching everyone we play.

At the VERY best we’d be able to get Billy Napier, who has I think will be a good HC eventually but why hire a guy right now who only has had 1 good year at UL Lafeyette.

Idk about y’all but I don’t want to fire our current head coach, lose a ton of good players on the roster already and have our best recruiting class in a VERY long time fall apart just to end up with Dan Lanning or Mike Elko as a HC because we couldn’t afford anyone else

Great post on VQ. We need Bailey or Salter to be that guy:

We have got to hit on a special QB recruit. You can blame a lot of things for Tennessee's demise but not having an elite QB since Clausen is the reason we can't compete anymore. Dobbs was the outlier as I think he was special but also miss-managed. Take a look at the elite programs that have come and gone and the ones who are still elite. Bottom line is every program/coach that was dominant for a lengthy period of time (sans Alabama they just paid the **** out of players) started it with a program changing QB.

QB's are the hardest to evaluate in high school but we really need Bailey to be a stud and then have Ty Simpson follow. It's the only way we get back on track. Recruits follow great QB''s who make everyone around them better.


Clemson-Taj Boyd-Deshaun Watson
Georgia- David Greene Started it then to Matt Stafford
Tennessee- Payton to Tee to Casey
Oklahoma- Baker to Kyler to Jalen
USC- Palmer to Leinhart
Texas- Applewhite/Simms/Young (Similar to us, lately haven't done anything and also haven't had a QB for sh!t)
Baylor in it's prime- RG3 to Stidham
Ohio State- Terrell Pryor, Troy Smith, Braxton Miller, Justin Fields
Oregon- Joey Harrington to Kellen Clemmons to Dennis Dixon to Mariota to Herbert

I don’t really think or at least I truly hope no one really wants Pruitt to be fired. I believe everyone just wants Pruitt to try anyone other than JG at QB since he is obviously not getting it done. And him continuing to trot JG out is basically feeling like a big slap to all Vol fans.

Reminder that Dabo Swinney went 6-7 in his third year as the HC at Clemson. His record was a grand total of 19-15 through his first three seasons (in his first season he took over midway through the year).

Pruitt is currently 15-14, in a much harder league. Y'all need to R.E.L.A.X. We're very much on the right track, we just need competent QB play.
