I am far less animated by bad coaching this time around than I was regarding Dooley and Butch.
I don’t know if this means I’m less interested or just getting older and putting sports into perspective, but I don’t quite believe Pruitt is either of those guys.
I think he’s probably going to be fired. But I still see a small path forward.
me niether. and i think we all have seen the blue print he's tried to put forth, as far as what he wants the team to look like, how they should play, and what basic "style" they should play. and it looks like the bones of what should be a solid SEC program...it really does. i've said that from the beginning, we're gonna at least "look like" an SEC team again..............
for whatever reason, his biggest issue that i can see is strictly dealing with personnel decisions, and why a kid should get PT vs. not....i think some of that is simply due to the fact that while at Bama, UGA, and FSU, you could easily tell which kids were ahead of the curve, and which ones needed development. and at those programs, they had the recent history and results that dictated how that should go. i would imagine a lot of those decisions were relatively easy, at least in comparison to our situation.
so coming in here, where in many cases there may not be many discernable differences between player 1 or player 4, you fall back on experience (your own and who's on the roster) and go with that. but there also has to be an understanding that we aren't any of those programs right now and we don't have the recent history or results that should preclude anyone from seeing some playing time....especially if you're in developmental mode.....as it most certainly appears we are, or should be.....
i think that's what i don't understand the most...just put guys in. get them in some games, put stuff on film....if this year really was a throw away year, then why wouldn't you be rotating like mad men and getting reps for a bunch of guys? it's a free year from an eligibility standpoint, so screw it......
that's what makes no sense to me. if we're playing for the future and this year is a throw away year and it doesn't matter......then personnel decisiosn should be really, really easy. but that's not what's happening and i think that's why i don't buy the notion they think this is a throw away season.
they do need to play more young guys. HB needs reps. Key Lawrence...play him somewhere.....Omari Thomas....Spraggins....among many more....
you want me to buy in....then show me that you are playing for the future....it'd make what i see on Saturdays at least a little more digestable, especially if you honestly think you have no shot at winning anything anyway. and given how JG came out and has played this year, we knew pretty darn quick that not much changed there, so our outlook on the results changed iwth that.
err'body knew that if JG was same old same old, that severely limits our ability to make any noise in the SEC. well, that's what JG is.....and if no one else can play QB....then play everone else.
i'm so sick of sucking azz.....if this year wasn't a throw away year at the beginning, it certainly is now. so if you have designs on being here next year and making a year 4 push, i'd start finding out what else i got on this roster when the lights are on.
does anyone wanna tell him that we are NOT! Undefeated and it doesn’t feel like 98 around here
