Do we really think the offensive struggles this year are due to the OC? Before this year the knock on him was that he was too pass-happy, and now he's got this regressive run-based offense all year. I've assumed it was due to the limitations at QB, and that's all that JG can handle. If we don't make a move at the top, I'd like to see Chaney and Bailey for a full year to see what they can do.

I don't. I think the QB was that trash. But Chaney has been a popular scapegoat.

No - I don't.

The offensive struggles are caused by 1) awful QB play; 2) a offensive line that, while it has improved from 2018-19, is still far too inconsistent; 3) WRs who cannot consistently create separation.

3 is understandable; we lost guys at that position group. However the coaches share a lot of blame in 1 and 2.

I think the online has been pretty solid outside of the uga game. Definitely have improved as the season has gone on. It’s just nothing is going to look pretty with the lack of production at the qb position.

Lol it may not sound like anything revolutionary, but in the context of the way it was asked, it was pretty telling.

The two guys doing the interview led into the question with, "listen, there's no way Pruitt is getting fired this year even if he loses out, right?" to which Brice responded with, "talking with folks in Knoxville over the last 24 hours, everything is on the table."

Important to remember he's got the same sources as the VQ guys - and maybe a few more now that he's sharing info with Football Scoop.

eh, i'll just believe it when i see it. i think it's just fodder to drive interest cause we suck, and there's literally nothing else to talk about except how much we suck....

hopes and dreams...hopes ands dreams...that's what they're selling!!!

@SpringBokVol just curious: do you support bringing Pruitt back for next year, or are you just resigned to it as an inevitability?

Search me. They just aren’t clicking. The guys haven’t been on the same page. URLine needs to be hyperlinked and cohesive. Ours hasn’t been. Probably too much down time.

2022 TN in state class is loaded. Can’t have a lame duck coach and let this in state crop slip away. There are probably about 12-14 TN players that we want

We must capitalize on 22 like UNC did instate this year.

I was. Played football and wrestled there... graduated in '04. Coached at Bearden and Central (Knoxville) during Bruno's time.

I wrestled 145 at Dickson while you were at Bearden and same class as Bruno. When I was at UT I was the assistant when West tried to start a team but the coach quit. I tried to get some of the guys to qualify to wrestle for Bearden. My dad coached Bruno his senior year, and is still the coach.

i think it can be true that it's both.

not going in to JG, that's been done to death.

but chaney hasn't been exaclty dynamic in the run game, and we haven't tried to much differently in the course of a game, much less the season. i think Chaney has been ULTRA frustrated, and has not reacted great when things have hit the wall play calling wise.

but the problem chaney has is he's the highest paid OC in the country.

he's supposed to be the solution to whatever problem comes up.
