If JG starts, the boos are going to come in. Then we get down by a lot, the place is going to let Pruitt know how they feel about him. I bet half this site turns the game off if JG starts too.

Absolutely hate Pruitt.it’s mind boggling to me. At what point during this season has JG given us the best chance to win?

If HB doesn't start I have no desire to watch what is already a foregone conclusion. Starting JG would equate to Pruitt giving double middle fingers to the entire fanbase at midfield pregame.

Something has had me puzzled since auburn.



All you posters that said you weren’t going to watch if JG was the QB, is there an alert you can sign up for letting you know when HB is coming in??


You folks sure did seem to know exactly when HB entered the game breaking down everyone one of his plays and i am just thinking there must be a great alert app out there.

Let’s talk about a possible scenario that could happen. Let’s assume that Pruitt doesn’t get fired this year, and he doesn’t barring a loss to Vandy if that game is played. I think everyone would agree, if we step back and think rationally, that if we had decent QB play, at best we could be 6-1 right now and at worst 5-2. Let me say right off the bat, I’m not an idiot in spite of what Kingston says, I know there are plenty of other issues, but I still believe that is true that with better QB play our record is much better (I know it’s Pruitt’s fault he kept playing JG).

That being said, JG is gone next year. So is Weinke who couldn’t develop a hot dog if you gave him a wiener and a bun. Chaney likely becomes the QB coach, and he has a track record for developing QB’s.

Pruitt hires Bo Davis for the DL coach, and we have a lot of experience returning there as well as a lot of young talent which allows him to assist Nieds and Felton with developing the LB position. In spite of what we think of him as a HC, the guy knows how to coach defense.

We then have a full offseason with spring and fall camp to develop our players. That 2020 class was loaded and they’ll have their first offseason.

We’ve already established that QB play elevates the team, so in the fall of 2021 either Bailey or a transfer plays really well for us. There’s only 3 unwinnable games, and TN goes 8-4. This shows enough improvement for Pruitt to land that loaded class in 2022. They finish top 10 in the recruiting rankings with Simpson heading up that class.

We then go into 2022 with a Junior HB, a Rfr Salter, freshman HB, that loaded 20’ class as juniors more hopeful than we are now. Maybe by then Pruitt has learned and is doing a better job. HB then hands the reins to Salter or Simpson who elevates the program even more

I’m not saying this happens, I’m not saying that I believe that it happens, but this is a possible scenario.

Imo Pruitt has to win 8 next year, but I honestly see no reason he can't win 9. Imo any less and he's not the guy and needs to go.

Think about it. This program has only won 8 regular season games Twice since fulmer was fired. We aren’t going to fire a coach that takes us to the 3rd best regular season in nearly two decades.

Yawn. 4 OOC cupcakes. Vandy SC and one of Ole Miss/UK/Mizzou. Boy that's impressive.

I would say the only reason we should bring Pruitt back is if we’re OK with 6 wins next season. Like you said, three unwinnable games, but the non-conference is CAKE. If we split the toss up games, which might be optimistic for this coaching staff, we’re right at 6 wins.

Now, to me, that sounds like hell on earth. But it would be a four win improvement over this year.

If we’re not OK with 6 wins, which I’m 50/50 on I think, then go ahead and get it over with this year.

And yet it’s only been done twice since fulmer


We have to walk before we run. This year obviously makes 6-6 not good enough but 7-5 is imo

No its not. Its year 4. He can win 8 in year 4 and beat nobody with a pulse. His first true class will be JR. With contributions from certain SR. He also can get depth from the seniors this year. If Pruitt is the answer he should be able to win at least 8 against teams without a pulse. He can't use youth and lack of depth as an excuse and JG should be gone.

6-6 to 8-4 depends on QB play imagine a scenario where Milton transfers here and plays close to what he was. Or where Bailey is who we hoped he would be.
