Jesse has been gone for a few months now

 

[engineerVOL]

Is that Sab?

Is that Sab?

Bingo. Dude is certifiably insane

 

[jakez4ut]

When did they let Jesse go ?

He left in his own about a year ago iirc.

He left in his own about a year ago iirc.

I think his wife got a job up north somewhere.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Is that Sab?

Yes. Aka Ben Stancliff.

I’m starting to think rumors I hear on here aren’t necessarily true. Very skeptical!

It was the new rumor I wouldn’t have hated to be true. Love his toughness, but I think we’re all ready for a change at QB.

 

[VOLSONLY]

I thought JG quit?

 

[engineerVOL]

I think his wife got a job up north somewhere.

I hope he’s covering Rutgers football.

where's a good place to park within walking distance of the stadium?

She got a medical residency in NYC.

Oddly enough I do think if Bailey had played every game this season we would have beaten Arkansas & Auburn.

Think how much better Bailey would have been playing the full season? Ultimately the trust/loyalty to JG and Weinke has hurt Pruitt's success here more than anything else imo.

I think we could've blown out ARK and AU. Defense was playing well enough for it to have been done in both.

And Peyton Manning could never lose to Memphis and FCS AppState could never beat Michigan. And ULMonroe could never beat Saban’s Bama team. Upsets happen

All 3 of the teams you just mentioned would have beaten GA State by 50. Again, if it was an isolated incident that is one thing, but fielding an unprepared team has been a trend.

Trey Wallace posted and article about him, didn’t sound like he’s had much contact with the football staff.

not even the WR coach?

he has an offer.

Louisiana offense starting to get going vs App St. Napier's offense is fun to watch and if their QB could throw they'd be great. He is a great runner though.

 

[letsgoUT29]

Again, siap... You can't discount the affect this off season NOT happening had on this team. Given that the core talent base is fr and so, missing THIS off season was a big deal.

It's also a big deal how poorly we've handled things as a result... Tough duty for a first time hc and ad.....

Put those together... Well..... This is what you get.

So I won't go so far as to say it's a throw away because of covid... But it wasn't normal....

I fully believe had we gotten a normal off season, had a legit QB competition and played our original 20 schedule... Things would look entirely different for us today.

Again, that doesn't mean all is excused. But this was a bad year for this roster not to get the year 1 to year 2 development.. And for the fr to get none whatsoever.

So for all those reasons I think Pruitt is back, we'll see some more staff changes and he'll have the opportunity to get it together.

I do think the clock is ticking tho.

You’re probably right. This will be the excuse used, but to me it doesn’t hold water. We’re actually a veteran team and didn’t lose near as many players as other teams. The same players have regressed from last year other than EG. This is not the case at other schools.[/QUOTE]

We walked from Market square. Not too bad. Or you can take the trolley.

@letsgoUT29

Well, like I said I think part of that is due to the off season, especially for our so class. Most would tell you that generally year 1 to year 2 is the most important year in terms of development.

As for our veterans... Outside a handful, this team was really dependent on that 19 class this year...

And that's why I think it's a little different for TN, than some other programs that really do have veteran production.. Legitimately... Returning...

Again, that doesn't excuse other things we've seen along the way this year.

But you can't have both and still be good.... Just can't. So ultimately it's still Pruitt's responsibility to address that... And I think it's safe to say there were some bumps in the road in that department.

I think the lack of off-season was certainly a factor. I also believe this staff, and particularly the head coach managed that pretty poorly. As a result it doesn't appear much, if any, development has taken place.

Son’s basketball game canceled. So I am going but he is not. Wants to stay healthy so he can hopefully play soon plus we suck. I will go and maybe see Bailey do well. I feel like our chances to win is about the same as I felt GA State would win. Well, we see how that turned out so who knows.





We gonna get whipped.
