Welp after sleeping on it.. Still out on Pruitt.

Aint even been to sleep yet

 

[headhunter15]

Well, after last night, I am now casting doubt on this staff. Complete collapse again in the second half.

Let me save you from "doubting". They ain't gonna cut it. All UT fans have to look forward to is the next coaching search. Period lol

 

[rekinhavoc]

I just get the feeling Pruitt should be a career assistant coach. I think he may be feeling it too. Heavy is the crown.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Hubbs made a great point on the post-game podcast - if you’re going to have JG throw the ball 8 times in the first half and have him run a “check with me” offense geared for a novice, why the hell not run that with HB?

I keep saying it, but the only chance Pruitt has at this point is to sell hope for the future. We are likely to lose out no matter who plays QB, but if you play HB and get him the experience he needs, you can at least give the fan base the hope that this team can be on an upward trajectory going into next year.

Bro you are 100% a day dreamer and definitely his father

Did you mean to quote me or Devo? Ha

What I don't understand is the check down was there all night. HB goes in and takes what they give him until they stop it, then he immediately hits a long crossing or post to get us within the 10 ydline.

It was all for naught in the end, but why TF not put Bailey in and let him do that when it could have mattered? It's almost like this staff is intentionally not allowing the offense to be successful. There has to be something I'm not understanding because this makes no sense.

I think the job is too big for Pruitt. The expectations here are not for the faint of heart or a first time head coach.

 

[vols 30]

HB looked the part . He needs game reps and not just garbage time.

I know it won't happen, but HB should get every snap from this point. Vols going to win just 1 or 2 anyway, so at least HB gets experience for next year.

No !...you for sure did you see dudes comment?..my god he’s delusional

 

[UTSuave’]

You have to be way smarter than this when arguing that JG was the problem last night. JG played darn near perfectly for what he was asked to do so stop it with the using of stats to say he played poorly especially after last night

let me help you with a more intelligent argument.

The coaches gameplanned with JG last night like he was a 9 hole hitter asking him to sac bunt every time he got to the plate. He even got a single last night and did exactly what was ask of him but the SEC isn’t a league for small ball. It’s a league for letting your guys swing the bat. If JG can’t be anything more than a sac bunt guy he’s the problem even though he was good at it last night.

I don’t see how anyone can say that we shouldn’t be playing Bailey from here on out. He showed more talent and poise than any QB all year. And everyone saw that he can run. He isn’t Dobbs but he can move some.

 

[Aesius]

There is no argument to be made for Pruitt at this point. When you regress this badly in year 3, it’s 100% over. As fans all we can do is wait out the clock on the rest of his contract and hope that Fulmer isn’t stubborn enough to keep him around another year.

Why not give him all the snaps during practice when you have two weeks to prepare? Especially if you are going to treat your 5th year senior like he’s starting his first game?

“5/8 for 42 yards is damn near perfect” @Smyrna ATL Vol the vols are back.we suck so bad those stats are the new standard for tennessee football

 

[TrippieRedd]

AP asked about Bailey late and if Pruitt saw anything. All Pruitt said essiantlly was he took too many check downs and its something he can learn from. Hes going to have to force one in that situation.

He said that??? If so, I really hope he gets canned. Bailey looked the best, hands down, the INT’s he had weren’t his fault. The first was pass interference and well the 2nd, he had to try and get something done with no time.

The kid better start from here on out

 

[Orange Studs]

It would mean Pruitt is 0-2 in hiring OC’s, which is a problem.

I am not totally disagreeing with you but at the time of the CP there weren't any top coaches that were available and willing to take the job. I think that would be different situation now thought.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Freeze is going to be the hottest coach on the market this offseason. If he goes to an SEC team, that will just put TN behind the 8 ball even more.
We're unable to gain 300 yards of offense and every team except Vandy is scoring 30 plus.

See this is exactly what I asked about a couple of weeks ago!..what will your thoughts be as fans towards Pruitt if HB got reps and showed he was the better QB than what we have now that’s starting ...no one answered....Pruitt deserves all the criticism that comes his way...he recruited him for a reason. Give him the reps if he’s the best option we have and I think he did that lastnight

 

[Orange Studs]

Don’t do this to yourself

Yeah let's try to be realistic. CP isn't going anywhere this year.

 

[JacketVol]

I am either just going to go to basketball games or stop completely all money and help and find other things to do. They really don’t care about winning. Fire Pruitt. He’s lazy and can’t handle the job.

Exactly the kid took what was given to him they were in ******* prevent defense.He’s a ******* idiot dude!

Chaney is garbage

If Bailey doesn’t start the rest of the way, I won’t be tuned in. Also almost to the point to where idc how recruiting turns out. Sucks, but is what it is.

For sure!..it doesn’t matter if they never develop
