Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[mr.checkerboards]

From Bob Vols:

It’s mismanagement all the way around. Every aspect of the program is questionable. Anyone who wants to dispute that is clueless and is just making excuses. Fans beginning to accept mediocrity. Tennessee isn’t even mediocre anymore. It’s a dangerous place to be right now. A win vs. Vandy doesn’t fix any of this.

Who's Bob?

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Holy cow that is bad. Being a pompous ass won't get you anywhere Pruitt.

Sounds like Saban without the gravitas.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Uhh were they having .01 secs to throw due to blitzes straight up the middle? Were they having WRs constantly not getting open? Did you watch any of the replays they zoomed out when Bailey stood in the pocket with it collapsing all around him where our guys were literally covered up with no passing window?

There are always excuses for losers

You look like the Zodiac Killer if he were a Vol fan

Tennessee needs a lot of them then. We are a program of lovers right now.

Pruitt is less liked than any coach we’ve had in the football complex since our fall from grace. It’s part his naturally gruff personality, but the coaching staff refusing those pay cuts has totally severed all the teamwork and camaraderie in the building. Pruitt has gotten worse during our losing streak, and has again doubled down on the “I’ll be a coordinator in two days” talk. No one is happy over there and no one below the administration wants this thing to be successful.

The issue I’ve been told about is not of Pruitt’s doing, but could be a problem regardless of who is head coach next year. That’s all I’ll say. Hopefully it never reaches the public, if it’s correct. And I have no reason to think it isn’t.

So this is a message board “anonymous” I might add. What’s the issue?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Because we have all seen other guys come in at other schools on their first start and light it up and never look back.

That’s not what we saw today.

Which school do you want to compare, because if we break it down there are probably a few reasons. Including talent around him and coaching.

Yup. It’s unacceptable

I thought the first two targets to Palmer he gave zero effort on



Jones is winning me over to be honest. He’s getting better

I agree about Palmer and he looked like he yelled at HB, one time, also. Must be a JG fan. Velus balled out today

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Agreed, looked to me like he needed a little more air under the ball on most of those throws. He will figure it out, if the coaches give him the reps.

He made all the right reads. I don’t know how you don’t continue to start him. He never turned the ball over.

Lol “excuses” and reality are two different things.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He made all the right reads. I don’t know how you don’t continue to start him. He never turned the ball over.

Thats my biggest thing with both QB's. No turnovers although Bailey tried on a few balls and neither put it on the ground when they got sacked. Unlike a certain someone.

 

[Girth Brooks]

If I wanted to commit suicide, I’d climb up to Pruitt’s ego and jump down to his IQ.

AM does not like him some Pruitt.

Thats dark, but funny.

 

[Jackcrevol]

there is a lack of talent, and coaching

 

[VolGee4]

Terrible offensive line play and our WRs inability to get open was the result of those sacks.

One was on HB- held it too long. We all know Grantham likes to bring pressure on 3rd and long. Probably poor coaching, but also a true freshman just needs time to learn how to react when guys are coming.

I would have to look at plays again, but you can’t always blame the OL when guys are coming. QB has to throw at the blitz.

 

[KB5252]

He made all the right reads. I don’t know how you don’t continue to start him. He never turned the ball over.

He got baited on a couple of throws. He's young and inexperienced though. I'll take those mistakes, he should have been playing for the past few games though, he'd be much further along.

 

[jakez4ut]

I do think this:. It's when, not if any more...

So we'll see how that goes, when it finally goes down..

Another flame out and coaching search, coming soon to a theater near you!

 

[Dooby15]

What a prick

Yeah, really no room to act like that when you continue to get blown out in year 3.

 

[VolGee4]

Agreed, looked to me like he needed a little more air under the ball on most of those throws. He will figure it out, if the coaches give him the reps.

In the first half, Tim Priest agreed and said he needed to put air under them.

 

[jakez4ut]

Bailey will be fine.

 

[snowvols]

Yup. It’s unacceptable

Your take on Bailey though is really one of the worst I've ever seen on the board. You're not taking into account any of the play calling or untouched UF guys blitzing. You praise Shrout when UF rushes 3 and drops 8 back and the coaches start throwing the ball the last two drives.
