He may have sunk his chances by sticking with JG. The best time for a change would have been after last season. After GSU, there should have been a change. If he doesn't change now... I don't think there's any way he can survive.
There are LOTS of problems on this team. JG isn't the only one. But the other problems and especially on O aren't going to get better until you have a QB with confidence who leads and executes. Players will rally around a QB who makes mistakes. A QB with no confidence in himself or them... has the opposite impact.
I'm saying that this isn't the first staff that JG has fooled by being a practice warrior. But no. It is not a mark to their credit that they didn't recognize it. They chose instead to have hope that they could change him. They couldn't. He better be smart enough to correct that mistake or he has no shot of surviving.So then you’re saying Pruitt and his staff can’t evaluate QB’s. How is that better?

Do you have any examples better than that one? Pruitt had many former players at Alabama vouching for him. His time at Georgia appears to have been a bad experience and he clashed with Mark Richt, but that doesn't change the fact that he was a DC for two programs who won the National Championship. It was a calculated roll of the dice by Fulmer that has failed, but to say that we shouldn't have hired him because a former Georgia QB (who Pruitt obviously wouldn't have worked with) didn't like him, is ridiculous.There were warning signs we should have listened to, such as Aaron Murray’s comments about Pruitt not being fit to be a head coach. The guy constantly had teams loaded with 4 and 5 star talent at his previous stops. I would rather have someone like Leach who does more with less.
