    Will JG start for Pruitt in 2021 ?

    Pruitt is a very conservative coach - hidebound as it were. He cannot abide mistakes by his QB, hence he goes with the QB with the most experience. As long as JG is in the football program he will be the starting QB.

    What is the real issue with JG?

    JGs basic problem is the time lag between seeing the receiver and throwing the ball. The good QBs the timing is: See - Throw. For the average QB it's: See - wait- throw. For JG it's: See - wait - wait - wait - Throw. His number and typw of pass plays are limited. Throws to the sideline...

    Things that you would change about the game if you could.

    1. Eliminate National Championship Game/tournament. Have a final Poll first week in December, declare a national champ, then go play the bowl games and have a good time. 2. Eliminate overtime games. A tie score at end of regulations remains a tie!

    Reports of Locker Room Dissension

    JG appears to be regressing due to the play calls he is getting. Last year on most passing plays he was not given a choice - the play called for a pass to a particular receiver, or check-down. He was only asked to throw to the sidelines, down field jump ball or check-down (or an occassional RB...

    Jarrett Guarantano...2019

    JG is the same QB this year as he was last year. Still does not read the defense. Cannot 'lead' a receiver. Can not go through a progression of receivers. The major difference this year was that most plays were designed with a designated receiver so he had no decision to make as to which...

    Please give the fans a nine game sec schedule

    Why not a 12 game SEC schedule - no patsies! Play 6 from your conference, 3 rival games from the other conference and a rotational schedule for the other 4 teams in that conference.

    Dormady's surgery progress

    A healthy Dormady is the best of the three QBs. McBride is next up as he has the most natural ability. Guarantano is not a QB, he is unable to read defenses and holds the ball too long - needs a position change, WR or DB.

    Neyland I (Formerly known as Gruden Thread)

    Gruden would be at Tennessee as coach IF he really wanted to. I am sure an offer was there both prior to the Schiano 'event' and earlier this week. His likely concern was a matter of control and interferrence from outside sources. The Schiano event could have 'scared' him off as he saw almost...

    Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVIII

    On Air on MNF is not really the proper place to address Gruden's future plans either with ESPN or Tennessee. There should be an announcement from ESPN that he is leaving the MNF broadcast then followed by BREAKING NEWS he is Tennesse HC. I believe ESPN and members of the MNF crew know his...

    Official Jon Gruden Thread XLVI

    Its GrudenTime in Tennessee. Leach should be the last number in the dance recital that was the payoff to Sexton for the abandoned Schiano "contract". Whether Currie is fired immediately and an interim AD appointed or he actually annouces Gruden's hiring is inmaterial at this point. Haslam...
