Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I don't see things improving under Pruitt. A defense only he understands and no idea about offense at all.

I think another coach could come and reap the benefits of the roster he has built.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

I admire some of y’all’s patience. Seriously

I knew a heap of them would be jumping on the wagon after yesterday’s meaningless win. Too bad it’s still gonna go over the ravine.

At the same time. Its kinda wild to me that Bama guys understood Pruitts defense, but our players cant.

 

[Jack Burton]

Kiffin will make Pruitt look foolish next year.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

If Pruitt is the guy Mizzou, Ole Miss, UK, SC all should be wins.

We’ll be 6-6 at best. Could even see L to Pitt. Gone are the days of beating our “SEC” chest. We are putrid.

Is it really his defense or Saban's? His interpretation of Saban's defense is eerily similar to Sunseri's.

I hate that Fitzgerald left. I think the team needs a true strength and conditioning coordinator. I have to think that why we looked bad in alot of 2nd halves this year.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Just saw the score.

Really happy for Florida. Really, REALLY happy for them

He should be gone at that record but he won't be.

Nah. Vandy would have had 400 yds rushing.

 

[VolInDayton]

Way too many people on this board are upset that we won a game. They would rather lose to Vandy and so we could hire another project coach and go back to year 0.

 

[scvolfan7]

This is getting ridiculous. Just because of who we played doesn’t mean guys haven’t looked better or improved.

It does though. That was a horrible team we played yesterday. Probably the worst in SEC history. Really not much to take away from the game other than Pruitt and co. are morons for not playing a lot of these young guys earlier. Especially the quarterbacks

 

[mr.checkerboards]

True. I think its a mix of both. But that Pruitt just doesn't convey it well to the players

 

[T Dog]

I also did not like the fact Henry T. Lost all that weight. He was doing fine at 240's.

I would rather compete for SEC and National championships, not gator bowl ones. That’s what Pruitt’s ceiling is. Awful coach and I wish we would move on

In 2013, Pruitt was hired as the defensive coordinator at Florida State. In his lone season with the Seminoles, his defense ranked number one in scoring defense, allowing just 12.1 points per game, and ranked third in total defense, helping the 2013 Seminoles win the national championship.[9]

In 2014, Pruitt joined the Georgia coaching staff as the defensive coordinator. His 2014 defensive unit finished 17th nationally in total defense, and finished in the top ten in turnover margin and passing yards allowed. Pruitt's 2015 unit at Georgia finished the season ranked seventh nationally in total defense, and led the nation in fewest passing yards allowed per game.[9]


Doubting that he forgot how to coach his defense. So I have zero answers. Except perhaps this defense requires elite talent.

He’s doing even better this year

 

[Govolsman98]

Bama- loss
UF- loss
UGA- loss
Missouri- loss
Ole Miss- loss

Toss up- UK, SC

BG- win
Pitt- win
SA- win
Vandy- win

So where is the 9 wins?

Right. There's no point in keeping this guy around. Any decent coach would win 9 with that schedule

Go enjoy 7-5 AT BEST brah! It ain’t gonna get better than that.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

And see posts like that from Swan are so disappointing. So what JP “told UT it was a 5 year rebuild”!!! Oh so we have to ignore his coaching blunders and roster mismanagement because when hired he said this will take 5 years to get right? Give me a F’n break.

I think what he was really talking about is it would take five years to make all of his coaching blunders as well as botched assistant hires.

It requires elite talent and people have a figured out ways to beat this scheme. Looks like our X’s and O’s savant at HC isn’t smart enough to adapt

We need them to be Able to get spring practice i. Next year, is a Must. I hope injuries does not prevent that from happening. That's why a true S& C guy is of the Utmost Importance!

Yes his inability to adapt the defense to lesser talent. Probably walked into a better roster situation at both stops.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Just a thought on why I don’t think there will be a change this season.

The current players haven’t quit on Pruitt and still like him.

 

[T Dog]

He’s doing even better this year

I did not see it like that. Seen him miss some tackles this year that lead me to believe he got weaker and was not heavy enough. What are the comparable stats of you have them.
