So we don't get to see HB and have more time to stew on how bad Pruitt is while we look forward to JG's return and the same ole same ole. I haven't been a negavol in the past, always fairly neutral on coaches, but when you can't line up properly in year 2, get beat by UK at home in year 3 and suffer bowout losses in all of your seasons to any team with a pulse, it's time to move on. It's not that this or that need to be fixed, it's that Germy doesn't know how to HC in year 3 and pulled a Butch, lying to all of us with the 'we wasn't close enough' to kick a FG excuse.

Alright I'm gonna play devil's advocate for the FG thing. Cimaglia was a game-time decision due to a leg injury and almost didn't travel with the team. He apparently reaggravated the leg during the game, and 42 yards was pushing it. That's my understanding.

Man if only y’all knew some of the stuff that went on during the Fulmer time for recruiting. Crazy stuff happens at every school. I guess we only condemn those who get caught.

One of our assistant coaches lived at "Platinum Plus" in Memphis during recruiting visits. Nobody on this earth can walk on water.

"It would take something really, really special for us to leave what we're building here," Freeze said Monday.

Quote from the good reverend on the Paul Finebaum Show. Sure sounds like he's talking about that dream job of his.😁

Mullen said something similar days before the Florida hiring.

Yeah I'll be pissed if Mond is ultimately out and they called it. That would be a screwjob, if they still had 53 players or whatever. We may have had a real shot vs their backups. Otherwise, it's whatever.

Fwiw 247 said JG was likely going to be cleared anyway, especially with how Maurer played last game. Shrout seems out at this point. Weinke reconfirmed HB is not there yet according to staff, so he was never starting. Vs Mond...no chance with our D. But vs King...we had a shot though ughh.

The same Weinke who hasn’t developed a single QB since being here? And it would have probably been a 9-6 game then.

Makes me think there must already be talk and possibly an agreement between Pruitt and Fulmer. Might be why he didn’t wear a Tennessee shirt yesterday...he hates the Vols so much, that he’s not going to wear the colors now that he doesn’t have to. Hubbs doesn’t talk about things like that off the cuff...he’s getting a feel from the fanbase for the AD as to how we would respond. I think it might be really good news that he’s mentioning Freeze so much. We will see.

And more people go down the rabbit hole. I'm telling you, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's going to be entertaining, but disappointing none the less.

It was more to the point of ‘I’m ready to be hurt again.’ Lol

Im sad man. I really like Pruitt. I was campaigning for the intern to be fired. I won’t do that to Pruitt. I want him to resign not get fired. Bring on ole Hugh tho and I’ll hope for the best for Pruitt in the future

Alright Pruitt... you have another gift of a bye week to prepare the freshman for his first career start. Don’t be stupid and waste another two week window on JG. You now could have had 4weeks of prep for the kid heading into Auburn. Now you get a gimme. Take advantage and give the kid two weeks to prepare for Auburn because you might even get that week as a bye if auburn covid gets out of control. You have the potential of getting your future QB 4 weeks under his belt before Florida. Make the move now

I said last night that there's no other way with the schedule. Does anyone see a single win other than MAYBE Vanderbilt left? The seat is already scorching hot. When we inevitably get blown out by TAMU, AU, and get to end the season with a blowout to UF who heads on to the SECCG it will be hotter than we've ever seen, including both Dooley and Butch at peak hot seat.

I couldn't see a scenario where the old HC took a demotion to stay on the current coaching staff. I wouldn't hate it, but I don't think it realistic.

Make him Head Defensive Coach. Make Hugh the Head Offensive Coach. Zero micromanagement on each side of the ball. No CEO at the top. Major decisions decided by a 5 coach council. Reinvent the MFing wheel.
