Maybe they’re all not good enough?

[Sarms58]

UT has a roster better than if you combined Georgia state, byu, UK. literally. no excuse to lose and thats with JG at QB.

Talent level on our roster is closer to Kentucky than Georgia...

Talent level on our roster is much closer to Kentucky than Georgia...

that is on Jeremy as well. raw talent is much better than Uk but he's not developing as well as Mark.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I can see why.

Will Friend and Weinke are both a giant waste of resources

The link is a measure of raw talent...which has improved under Pruitt. But we’re still closer to Kentucky than with Georgia or Alabama. Our talent level ranks 7th in the SEC - right between Auburn and South Carolina. of course raw talent (based on recruiting rankings) Doesn’t always translate to results. Look at LSU this year - third most talented roster but near the bottom of the league.

I really could care less just passing along info i received

Thats fine im just looking for clarification

I'm just a fan like you I'm nobody important

I've actually heard Chaney does not like Will Friend or Chris Weinke

at this point I don't like Will Friend or Chris "Little" Weinke or Chaney. They are the 3 coaches I feel have underperformed the most.

 

[Catbone]

What I'm hearing is the upperclassmen are not buying in to what the coaches are selling. Also hearing Chaney and another offensive coach are clashing.

Tee?

 

[Brave Volunteer]

He did get a grad transfer QB but he wasn’t any better than JG...

Well then he shouldve went out and got another one...and another one. He should've kept searching until he found a better option. I dont get a sense of urgency from this coach at all and that pisses me off about him.

 

[CAVPUT]

What else would make CJP com mit career suicide?

I’ve gone from cornbread to gtfo since the Missouri game and it’s all based on roster management and development.

Either we've got the worst talent evaluators in the biz or we have coaching/culture issues. By all accounts, Pruitt and Ansley are DB gurus. So why are they running around like a chicken with it's head cut off? We've supposedly loaded our OL with 4* and 5* NFL bound talent but they're consistently inconsistent. This staff can't even decide who the starting 5 should be and what positions each should be playing.

We've had 3 years of recruiting and development yet we still have no real answers at the most important position on the field...QB. It's JG all day every day. Between Hill(when he was here), Maurer and Shrout...not one of them can manage the game/offense better than JG? They STILL don't know what to do? After this much time in the program? Hell, we run this so-called RPO offense but don't have the qb to run it and even recruit a kid who the OC reportedly doesn't like and doesn't seem to fit that offense. At this point, I'd be taking a page from the UK playbook and putting Jimmy Holiday in at QB and really have a running threat at the position. Do something...anything other than the same thing week after week...year after year.

Who am I kidding. It is what it is.

 

[rikberry31]

Pruitt's had 3 years to go out and get a 5th year QB transfer that can play. You see schools all over the country doing this to great success. For whatever reason Pruitt didn't bother.

So has Kirby. He’s got a hobbit at qb.

upper classmen = Botch's boyz?

 

[MWAVolfan]

The type QB we need does not play college ball 5 years....rarely 4.

Finally somebody gets it!

If you have a 5th year QB then you don't have a good QB!

 

[rikberry31]

UT has started one of the worst QBs in college Football for 4 years. Who does that?

Just about every other school would've made that change a few games or maybe after a year. UT doesn't start the climb back up until JG is gone.

This is crazy talk. JG has certainly had really bad moments but the worst qb in history? By this metric Clint Stoerner is the worst qb in history.

 

[rikberry31]

must win out to get the fanbase to buy back in.

Fans don’t mean jack squat. They follow, don’t lead. Most of the fans have no clue what’s going on.

I find it really strange considering it's year 3

Who was available?

 

[MWAVolfan]

I find it really strange considering it's year 3

This team has 14 seniors and 11 more red shirt seniors. Also 11 red shirt Juniors. There are still tons of Botch's guys left.

 

[jarhead]

Mauer was better than number 2 before he was hurt. Quick throws, decisive, moved the ball and seemed to spark the team. There are probably at least three quarterbacks on the team better than number 2. But I simply don't care anymore. Let Pruitt be Pruitt and number 2 be number 2. I'm looking forward to next season; This one is shot.

The day Pruitt renewed their scholarships they became Pruitts guys.

Sure, but there's a difference between guys you inherit vs guys you recruited yourself. It's not like Pruitt can tell the whole team to "walk" because there wouldn't be enough players.

Occam's razor....

Google time for me. Learn more on VN than all the major networks.

 

[Remy]

that is on Jeremy as well. raw talent is much better than Uk but he's not developing as well as Mark.

I hate to agree with this as development was supposed to be CJP's strong suit. It certainly was when he was position coaching and coordinating, however as a head coach so far, not so much.

I think JG is bad, but did Maurer have a game without an interception during his limited playing time? He developed last year up until the concussion, no spring ball this year, injury issues this spring and fall as well. I think Mauer has potential, but you can’t win from the trainers table.
