Second guessing is fun so let's do it for a second. How different is the game if Pruitt and Chaney follow their normal MO and run on 3rd and long in the 3rd quarter when Bailey got the intentional grounding? We cut it to a 2 score game then and there were still 6 ish minutes in the quarter iirc. Couldve changed the game.

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

Yes. It is aggressive. I expected and wanted a lot more.

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.

Totally out coached.

UF never feared us scoring or moving the ball consistently.

Used to be "losing is unacceptable". Then the talk of moral victories started. Now it's, "what's the problem?"

I think the oline and WRs weren't doing him many favors though. He had a couple bad throws that could of went for a long gain but several times there was a dude in his face sacking him right away. Plus several more times when he had time, he had to scramble because no one could get open. I mean I wanted more too. I wanted him to come out and throw for 250 and a couple TDs at least. But at the same time, given the context, he played fine. Is fine going to cut it? Absolutely not. But it's so early in his career, if we can get a coach in here that actually knows how to develope a QB. I see potential. Hell I see the potential in Shrout too with good coaching though too, has a hell of an arm. We just need a real HC and either of these guys could give us something. I think it's that simple really

I still don’t get the Sark love. He was average at Washington and is close to a 50% head coaching record overall. I think Bama assistants look so much better playing with five stars. Also, Saban being the GOAT.

-He has a great track record of identifying and developing QB’s dating back to his time under Pete Carroll at USC.

-Washington was winless the year prior to his arrival as HC, and had won something like 12 games total in the preceding 5 years. He was stuck on 7 wins for a few years, but seemed to get over the hump a bit in his 5th year before getting hired away by USC. It was a pretty solid turnaround IMO.

-Won 9 games in his lone full season at USC while still dealing with the fallout of heavy sanctions.

-Significant NFL experience.

I also think he would be pretty hungry for another shot to prove himself as head of a major program.

That’s a good point.

Clearly I am overreacting tonight. I need sleep. It will be fine tomorrow.

Yes, I'm going off memory but I believe my question to you was "what makes you think he's a good coach or will be successful?" I'm not sure which but I'm pretty sure it was something along those lines.

I'm too far into a bottle of bourbon to look it up though.

Lmao yeah no. I want Pruitt out of here asap. Just think it's reasonable to still point out a positive of one of our young players.

Will look forward to the day that we have a winner at QB.

Because we didn't try. Running up the middle on 1st and 2nd down then calling a swing pass isn't a winning formula while the defense is teeing off on you. We aren't winning with Aaron Rodgers with that gameplan.

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

I'm going from a hazy memory but basically Pruitt told them they were all soft and implemented changes (I want to say in workouts but I can't remember precisely). He pushed for those facilities expansions too (member their halfass indoor field? He pushed for the expansion). I believe there was conflict over Pruitt being able to get the Admin to move on these things while Richt couldn't or wouldn't push for them. It was said that they had fairly open arguments about how things should be done with Pruitt constantly challenging Richt's authority. It was all during a time where a lot of people at UGA were simply tired of Richt.

There's also an UGA legend about Pruitt showing up at Richt's house one night drunk and challenging him to fisticuffs. As hilarious as that image is to me, I highly doubt it happened.

Speaking of Rodgers thats another small thing Bailey did tonight thay JG hasn't done in 5 years. He had a free Blitzer coming off the edge. Instead of panicking he just flipped it out to his reciever on a smoke screen and let him get a few yards. Very Rodgers esque.

Yes the game plan was really pedestrian.

No wonder that had a good week of practice - that is JV football.
