3 wins gets us to a Bowl game.

[chuckb1448]

If we only had to play the first two quarters we stand a chance of another victory or two...

I agree especially JG. I really feel next year will be his year.

We need to keep the Vandy game on the schedule I believe if we can pull one out over a struggling Vandy team we will get a good Bowl invite.

Don't think so. Seeing several bowls are starting to cancel. Probably 5 to 10 bowls will decide to cancel of financial reasons thus making the remaining bowls more completive.

 

[Boca Vol]

Pruitt needs eight years and seven recruiting classes to meet the expectation of four conference wins in one season. Stop being ridiculous, it's your fault we only have two wins

We all laughed and mocked Butch when he said it takes 6 years to rebuild a program....who knew he was right?

You're joking, right? The only bowl we're playing for is the toilet bowl.

We're not ever going to get the Ws unless we get a competitive QB.

Michigan VS. UT in the Music City bowl. Make it happen Phil.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

8 bowls have canceled so far, and I would be shocked if that's all.

 

[Zues1]

Well they could get more practice, that's really made a difference the last three years. This team has owned practice.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Who seriously wants to go a bowl game with the way Pruitt has mandated this season? I sure as hell don’t. I want the season to be over with and reboot and see how we can improve going forward.

[Rickyvol77]

It would be embarrassing to accept a Bowl Invitation with 3 wins.

Again not this season. We may play in Music City bowl

 

[Rickyvol77]

Too bad we'd have to beat two top-5 teams to get there. I'd like to see the Vegas odds on that happening.

And then there is the spectre of losing to Vandy. Yes, we ARE that bad.

No we aren’t

only if it gives a new coach time with the team.

 

['Boro-vol]

No we aren’t

Hope springs eternal.

We do not deserve a bowl game regardless of how we finish.

I want the extra practice time.

Can't call it a rebuild if you can't see progress.

 

[Tnphil]

Most bowl games listed will be done by the end of Dec or the first couple days of Jan. on the list I saw....So if we play on Dec 19th and they give players off a few days for Christmas it doesn't look like there will be a lot of practice days....Nothing like 3-4 weeks in a normal year.

Yes we do....this one

not even a lid on it

 

[BeardedVol]

Again not this season. We may play in Music City bowl

Given the number of non-competitive performances we've had in our blowout losses, we aren't getting a bowl invite.

This bowl season is about TV ratings, not traveling fanbases, and no one wants to watch us get beat down for an 8th time this season.

 

[vol1981]

I'm an idiot I guess because I thought all teams were bowl eligible due to COVID

Let's see if I got all this figured out: Our football team is sorry as all get out because of Covid. But thanks to Covid, our football team will be bowl eligible. OK

 

[08Vol]

You really want to go this again? Another coaching search with 3 wasted years and destroying this program again? Based on a fluke year and circumstances beyond Pruitts control? Really? You honestly believe that is the answer?

What do you really lose by giving Pruitt a pass this year and setting reasonable expectations next year, a year without Covid that has his QBs and his players in place. If he can’t show progress by the end of next year then move on.

The program is already destroyed, keeping Pruitt just means we wait a year longer before we start trying to rebuild it. The issue isn’t what is beyond Pruitt’s control, it’s that he can’t improve the things that are within his control.

These are his players. When he signed as HC everyone wearing Orange became his players. Urban Meyer has talked about this situation multiple times. If CJP didn’t like their effort or attitude then he should have benched them or kicked them off the team.

They are.

 

[08Vol]

By the defense of this coach leveled by some of our fans, we could stand to lose a few. One thing I've never understood about the staunch coach-defenders...they never follow their hero when they inevitably leave. They just hang around and defend the next clown the administration dresses up in Pantone 151.

Lot of people were raised to never question leadership. They’ve never heard of the Peter Principle before.

I'm not sure if this team could get better if they practiced 3 months for a bowl game. Why? CJP
