Glad we hired him after we fired him. Really an exciting player to watch.

What a dark time for UT football.

Let this sink in..... at one point Brady Hoke was the Head Coach at Tennessee and kicked Jauan Jennings off the team, then went and lost to Derek Mason’s Vandy at home.

This is one of the all time great coach rant.

Too much blame is going towards the players and not enough towards the coaching decisions IMO. It’s not the players fault Pruitt put all his eggs in JGs basket without preparing anyone else. I’ve seen that all of 1 time in all my years and that was UT last season.

Without preparing anyone else? So did the other QBs in the team not practice or read the playbook? Did they not throw for Pruitt in every practice? Pruitt has forgotten more about football than anyone on this board. And he decided that JG gave us the best chance to win last season. Ultimately he made the right call.

Pruitt also said that during his 1st season here he was hands off with the offense and mainly focused on defense. That was a mistake and hopefully Pruitt learned from it. The result of that mistake in year one was we didn’t have a backup ready to go in year two. If JG continues to struggle in Pruitt’s 3rd year and a backup isn’t prepared to lead the offense then that falls solely on Pruitt.

UF lost their starting QB in week 3 and a kid that didn’t even start in high school came in and led them to 11 wins.

UK’s starting QB went down week 2 and Stoops redesigned their entire offense so a WR could play QB. That led to an 8 win season.

That was Butch's team. He just got out of dodge before he was the one taking the L.

JG, Maurer and Shrout are very different qbs. You can’t use JG to run a game plan set and practiced for Shrout. Or a plan for Maurer with JG. Or a plan for JG with Maurer. They are too different. The reason for that is you can’t force a kid to play outside of himself. The evidence was front and center for us all to see last year on several occasions. They had a plan for JG vs UF. Maurer came in and looked horrible. The very next week they had a plan for Maurer vs UGA and the difference in his performance was night and day. JG didn’t fair so well. Again vs MSU. JG looked pedestrian. And again bs Bama. No need to rehash. The Maurer we seen vs those three teams was NOT the same Maurer we seen vs UF. In each of those games, when JG came in he didn’t look good and the playbook was shortened.

I’m not disagreeing that Pruitt made the right call down the stretch because of the results. He gambled and won. It takes a great coach to do so. But great coaches make mistakes every year and some of those mistakes cause them to be fired. Which is right where Pruitt was after weeks 1,2 and 4 as a result of my complaint.

He also said every position would have to be earned. JG was the only player GIVEN his job without the possibility of competition.

Not really. JG is a practice warrior. The coaches like what they see in practice. In games, he thinks too much and makes mistakes. I guess he is an anti-gamer? If he could put it together he would be fine, with his last and only remaining flaw being not able to sense back-side pressure.

Well.... that’s true with a twist. Last spring I went to a few practices and witnessed sometimes the exact opposite of what was reported. In fact some reports were boarder line lies. JG does look good in practice but the reports of JTS and BM looking bad were false. They all looked equally good in their own ways. JG was the most efficient. Bm was the most explosive and JTS was a mix of them both but more erratic with his accuracy. But they ALL had MAYBE a handful of passes that got away from them and very few were thrown to the defense like we were being told. What I find odd is the fact that during practice JG works the pocket as well as anyone. He steps up, slides and actually shows that he DOES have pocket awareness. Idk what happens at game time. He holds his spot at the back of his drop like he’s entitled to it.

Ummm...I believe he did prepare two other QBs, who played some reasonable snaps.

We saw in live game action that BM and JTS were not ready. Their stats are TERRIBLE. I worry that BM will never be what he could have been due to the concussions and the shots he took.
I don't see how it's even an argument that JG was the best option last year.

I hope we do not repeat our mistake by playing HB to soon. Unless he's just some kind of prodigy, I wouldn't even play him until the Troy game in November.

I was just watching a video on the u tubes called "What Happened to NFL WR Anquan Boldin? (Way Better Than You Remember)" and it gave me the chills because the similarities between him and JJ are striking. guys should go check it out

Keep in mind that BMs stats were terrible for a season as a whole. But people seem forget that he was 4/15 before the 73 yarder to Calloway. To reach 47% he had to be closer to 60% in the games he was prepared to play in.

I wish Pruitt hadn’t misspoke before BM was ever diagnosed. Bm had ONE concussion that he came back too soon vs Alabama.

The argument isn’t about who the best option was. JG was prepared so therefore JG was the best option. The debate is over who the best QB is in terms of talent.

Our starting QB played half the season with a broken hand and we still won 8 games with him playing part time behind a couple of Fr, one who can't keep from throwing to the other team and 1 that evidently doesn't have the coaches trust. Who cares what Fl or Ky backup QB does or if they are ready as you say.

I'm tired of seeing this weak argument, you accusing Pruitt of not prepping the backup QB is ridiculous and a weak argument. I guess you would have had BM working with the 1st team during spring and fall. I mean why wouldn't a new coach with everything on the line turn the Tn offense over to a undersized, inexperienced, turnover prone freshman QB legend coming off a 4 win HS season in arguably the weakest district in FL. He must have been a real dummy to give the majority of the reps to a returning SEC starter of the previous 2 seasons. You are a scam, BM is a young QB who possesses some talent but nowhere near this game changing level talent you'd like for everyone to believe. He was recruited as a project and likely backup and once Bailey was recruited here that is exactly what he's going to end up being. He had his shot and missed, that's how the position works. He'll transfer to a FCS somewhere down the way.

1) ABSOLUTELY! Listen to how stupid this sounds as opposed to my argument. Here’s your argument that you’re supporting: “ No I didn’t prepare a back up for my struggling team at qb because although my qb1 has a history of performance issues, I believe in him.”
Meanwhile in Gainesville: “ my qb2 takes around 45% of practice reps with the 1s. If Franks goes down Trask will be ready”. The results of a 11 win season spoke for itself.

2) You say he doesn’t have game changing ability while disregarding the fact that the game changed the moment he took the field. It instantly became a more aggressive attack. In fact I remember a UK fan posting a thread of concern on here fishing for info going into that game wondering if he was going to start and hoping not. Point is, you may not see it because you don’t want to but others do.

3) recruited as a project? How do you know what Helton was thinking? I however can attest to that being a false opinion. Helton and Chaney both think very highly of Maurer. Maybe qb coaches see more in qbs than the average fan?

4) I love your predictions because every one of them has blown up in your face. Last year you said BM was not going to see the field outside of garbage time, if that because he WAS #3 behind Shrout. Myself and @LittleVol said he would run away with the job if he touched the field. You were 0-2 on those predictions where he and I would be 1-0 without injury. But I’m the scam? You’re the one that claims to be in recruiting and my advise is take 2 weeks off.....then quit.
