My post Arkansas randoms, if anyone cares. (I barely do)

  • It starts with the quarterback - and we don't have one. Watching JG play QB is like trying to watch porn on dial up. Buffering. Constant buffering. What confused me about the broadcast was how the commentators kept mentioning how receivers were open, but JG threw it too late. Said that even on the scramble he got hurt on - that he could've thrown it earlier but didn't and had to scramble. And then the broadcasters seemed flabbergasted that we made a change (before they realized it was for injury).
  • I don't think we can ever truly judge this coaching staff until we get some semblance of a competent QB. JG isn't it. Brian Mauer showed why he doesn't belong on the field. The kid looks panicky, rushed, and inaccurate. This has been the worst case scenario for Bailey coming in. That said, I want him to be QB1 going forward. It just sucks I have to hope JG's injury (whatever it is - CJP just said he's day to day) is somewhat significant to keep him out.
  • Kina piggybacking off that - all year the coach has told us JG gives us the best chance to win. I finally see it. Neither of the back ups have shown an ounce of anything when given the chance. Which brings me to........ fire Weinke. Fire Chaney too. Please.
  • I didn't see where players were tweeting negative things post game. I know winning cures all. I don't know who the malcontents are but I definitely believe Savion Williams is transferring because he can't get on the field. I'd speculate Shamburger missed the game because he's one of the bad apples. Not sure about anyone else. I heard Dee Beckwith and Tyler Baron were bitching on twitter post game, but I don't know why they would. One has been injured all year and the other has gotten a fair amount of playing time.
  • Voltwitter is an embarrassment. Seriously. If you're one of the dipshits tweeting at players or recruits, dumping on the program or talking trash to the players themselves then please chug drano.
  • Flame me, but I still believe in Pruitt. I think he's been handed a terrible card - first time head coach, took over a dumpster fire, hired right before the first ESD, and COVID with ridiculous Knox County guidelines in year three. Plus being saddled with JG. We haven't been able to develop a back up which is a red flag - not sure thats direcetly on Pruitt. I do know he's tried to bring in multiple grad transfers (Minishew, Newman, etc) to no avail.

    Most coaches in the SEC cut their teeth in the MAC or other lower level divisions. They learn how to be a head coach - handling everything and everyone and building a coaching tree along the way. Pruitt was just a high school head coach like what, 12 years ago? His ascension was fast. There are going to be growing pains, naturally. That said, I find the constant shuffling of assistants mind boggling.
  • Brian Neidermeyer doesn't need to be coaching line backers. I don't know where he needs to be, but it at where he is now.
  • I'm all for Osovet being the OC.
  • I feel so bad for Brandon Johnson. Listen, the guy isn't an all pro. Not going to play on Sundays. But he's a VFL who made a decision to help the team and opted to redshirt last year and come back this year when the staff asked him to. ONly to be saddled with JG. That touchdown pass was there to be had. JG threw a terrible ball. Brandon Johnson deserves better.
  • Bumphus being out the rest of the year hurts, but hopefully with him and Savion being gone, it forces the staff to play younger guys and develop them. But yeah, Bumphus and Brandon Johnson are the only seniors I'd really like to see come back next year.
  • This team is bad. I don't understand why. I mean, we just roll over in the second half, week after week after week. I can't explain it.

Thats all I got. I can think of other stuff but I'm bored thinking about this team right now. Gonna go fire up the Xbox 360 because apparently NCAA 2014 is the only place I'll ever get to see good Tennessee football again.

I know a lot of people think that there's no way Pruitt gets fired this year, but if we get blown out by A&M, UF, and possibly Auburn (they've been better their last two games) and only beat Vandy there's no way they can bring him back. The UF game is going to be ugly with their offense and we could give up 50+ in that one. That will be a horrible look to end the season with.

So ya'll tell me what's gonna happen at the end of the season when Mehlen comes into Neyland and hangs 50+ on us to end the season? Pruitt safe? Wouldn't miss that post-game presser for the world.

Can we talk about the blitzes we were sending at the end of the game and why those weren’t happening at the beginning of the game?

It’s like we started running an entirely different defense.

Line stunts as well. The play calling was much more like what Pruitt was calling in year 1 and at times in year 2.
