He was playing the 2nd string D and he got the opportunity to sling it the whole time he was in there unlike the playing calling with Bailey. I believe part of that could be Shrout was more familiar with the playbook haven been here longer. Don't get me wrong he did play good but its a bit different when you take over in the 4th qt behind by a butt load of points than in regular playing time in the first half.

I wasn't meaning Bailey was bad because I thought he played well and didn't understand why shrout was in there but when shrout was in the game it just seemed like he commanded the team better.

Be careful, some people on this board don’t allow differing opinions

How are you any different? You are arguing with people because you do not believe Bailey will be successful here and others do. You even busted out being around NFL teams to try and validate your opinion and discredit theirs.

Oh I don’t care. I stated my opinion after
The game and got blasted.

It was like I said want I said and then others either ignored it or said that’s interesting.

Nope. They told me I was wrong and they laugh 😂 faced me. I’m sensitive. 😂

This is why we have a board - we don’t have to agree. It’s good to debate and have a chat.

Some of my previous thoughts have been shifted due to some of the comments tonight on this chat.

[whispers] Vols have potential to be really good next year under Pruitt. Team is tough. Fights. Talented. Screws a lot of stuff up.
I think they’ll fix it. Next year, we’ll be saying “wow, Pruitt has really turned things around on Rocky Top”

Change my mind.

Very poor game planning and lack of creativity on both sides of the ball. Players look like they have regressed on both sides of the ball. Awful personnel decisions at multiple positions. For the 3rd time in 4 years a major over haul of the coaching staff.

AM does not like him some Pruitt.

AM is a Richt guy who felt like Pruitt basically caused his firing. Pruitt forced a lot of changes at UGA and butted heads with Richt but UGA's AD never should've signed a contract that gave an assistant coach as much power as they gave Pruitt. As much as I want Pruitt fired, UGA created that situation before Pruitt arrived by handing a contract with mini-HC responsibilities. That said, even a lot of Dawg fans will admit that the changes Pruitt made needed to happen and that they and Kirby are benefiting from them now.

I thought that was supposed to be what happened this year. 6 straight losses by double digits. At least half the staff will not be back. The head coach coaches like it's the 1980s. I'd love to be wrong.

You just don't want anyone to have a different opinion from you. No one is insulting you or anything, but people are trying to give you their opinions as to why you may be wrong. Shrout playing when UF had stopped doesn't really convince me. Obviously no ones points are convincing you either.

Too soon. Find a 3rd quarter score and then repost. 😷

The thing is I never tired to discredit anyone.

I simply stated my opinion after the game and got blasted.

I love having different opinions.

But I wasn’t allowed to have one.

For those of you that think HB was good, average, great or whatever that is great. I am glad you got that. If you think he will be the guy even better - you have hope. I don’t.

But I never said others were wrong or even tried too.

I know if we were the first to fire our coach and we ended up a position coach, I'd be pretty underwhelmed.

But worked out for Arkansas. But Sam P is definitely a more experienced coach in general obviously

What changes? I actually didn't know that story.

A proven p5 head coach can be a double edged sword - sometimes they’ve proven they can’t compete like we would want (Doeren or Brohm). Unproven with potential could still be great (maybe Chadwell? I was jealous of the intensity his team had tonight). Already proven to be great probably isn’t coming here.

Can we also talk about how bad our Safeties and LBs (outside of TooToo) are..... it’s a complete joke that Crouch and Banks are even starting at LB.... also, Jaylen McCullough and Flowers are a joke. I’ll be happy when they are replaced.... because then maybe we will actually be able to cover the deepest man or not allow people to get behind us.....

You are safeties man..... you usually have one job..... don’t let anyone behind you.....

👍👍👍 I gave you more likes. This is so true!

I like Gus I think he would be a fine higher. But I question the other two mainly because of talent. TN doesn't have the talent of either of the other schools

Other than Urban Meyer, which is not coming to TN, Freeze, Miles, and Richt are the only 3 ex SEC head coaches, that were successful, that would be possibilities here. Miles and Richt had 10 plus years each of winning football, they had to recruit players every year and then coach them on how to play and win. I don't see why they couldn't do it here. I think JP would not be leaving the cupboard bare. We've got players, we need a head coach.

Napier and Chadwell would be upgrades. I don’t care about national titles right now. I care about getting 8-9 wins consistently.

Would rather take Freeze but I’m not sure that happens.

I think there are at least 5 upgrades out there that would come.

I just don’t see Pruitt getting fired.

I apologize if I missed it but I was just curious how one could come to the conclusion of "HB ain't it" after that game. Didn't do anything badly, and it was literally his first start. You're allowed your opinion dude, but it certainly is a bold one. That's all lol

What’s got me perplexed is how do you not turn it over, win the rushing game, and win time of possession but not be in that game. At no point we’re we in that game, really. FL never felt threatened, hence calling 50 pass plays.

We took a normal L tonight with no JG catastrophic mistake, and I don’t know how to feel about it.
