Basilio saying Fulmer/Chaney want a new QB

[Bucket18]

Pruitt dug his own grave by not having a backup ready to go. He is screwed.

 

[Carp]

I call BS on Basilio. Fulmer doesn't strike as one to get involved. Pruitt absolutely doesn't need to get attached to one starter. Give someone else a shot if the starter isn't cutting it.

Carson Beck. HB isn't flipping to UGA

Ah, missed him.

HB might not flip to Georgia then, but def could see him flipping somewhere.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Need a vision for that. Where would he flip too? Supposedly only 1 other team keeps in regular contact with him.

 

[Roustabout]

Chaney is the oc. Didn't Pruitt hire him? If you hire a man to run the offense, trust what he tells ya and let him run the offense. Good grief. If this is true, Pruitts doing a good job planning his own demise.

That’s a big if

 

[GVol1966]

Could be a recruiting play. This season is already in the toilet, naming a new young starter puts HB in a pickle with having to unseat a young guy next season. Playing JG is a good move if he doesn’t want to jeopardize their recruiting class.

BS. If HB doesn’t believe he can come in here and beat out any of the QB’s we have then we don’t really need him. The one thing that I think would make him consider backing out is if the HC looks like he doesn’t have it, and would ride 1 guy to the bottom of the SEC instead of taking a chance and seeing if someone else might give the team a better chance of winning

The only thing i can think of that makes any sense if this is true, is that Pruitt genuinely believed he could sleep walk through GA st and BYU and UTC and knew one of our backups was possibly pretty good. He’s been eye balling Florida all summer, comments and putting up Gainesville temps all that kinda stuff.

Maybe he really does go to Gainesville and trot out a new guy to make his first start. I think that is a completely stupid idea, especially looking at Peterman and how that went. But then again, it seems like Pruitt and his players are completely blind to anything that has gone on in this program before he arrived and how things like that might look to fans that have sat here for years and watched coaches make bumble-f##k decisions again and again.

But then again, he can throw out the ole “JG was given a chance, he proved us wrong, made some decisions that cost us some games early in the season, we made a QB change after Chattanooga and rolled on” IF it goes well anyways.

Here is how I view it.....

If JG struggles out of the gate vs UTC and JT/BM get playing time because JG gets yanked, Pruitt is rolling with, whichever one he puts in place of JG, them for the Florida game.

 

[NEVolFan]

Anyway you slice it... someone else needs a look see at QB and soon!

 

[FLVOL_79]

You can't spell BS without Basilio.

Cant spell Just Get on the Bench without JG.

 

[05_never_again]

Could be someone outside the SEC. All I know is that nobody could really blame him for stepping into this s**tshow. Heck, even if we were good, the QB depth chart is kind of crowded. Who is the other school who keeps in regular contact with him?

No, he's not involved at all
Why Phillip Fulmer got banned from Tennessee football practice for coaching linemen

 

[Volle]

Just listened to his show.
He said that his anonymous source X in the UTAD is saying:
Fulmer is extremely upset that Pruitt didn’t get us a good transfer QB for this season.
Chaney thinks our two backups have better arms and more football IQ than JG. He wants to try one but CJP vetoed..

I believe Tony B got it right, Pruitt went all in on "his man" and is afraid to be proven wrong. 1) Last year, Chryst came in and had a great game, showing maybe he should have been the #1 guy, and 2) I heard Gardner Minshew was interested in transferring to UT last year, and was promptly shooed away by Pruitt saying JG was his guy, he went on to Wazoo for one year, and is now the starting QB for JAX.

 

[Doberman]

I could believe a story about a disagreement between a HC and OC over the QB but unless the AD is attending practices on the QT every day how would he know?

He watched the same games we did.

 

[YankeeVol]

Hang in there Coach Pruitt. This is YOUR team! You don't see Phil telling Coach Barnes who to put in at guard do you?

I'd listen to a guy who was 152-52 over a guy who's 5-9

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

X=Butch

 

[Backwards K]

Basilly has been spewing conspiracy theories all week. Pay him no attention.

Doing this has always been easier for Tony than doing actual show prep or developing any real contacts in the UT Athletics Dept and in the sports world in general.

I know many here don’t like Basilio or care what he says.
I’m just passing along what he said.

People may be telling him to make a change but I do not believe it's Fulmer.

Pruitt pride

 

[volfannbama]

Regular season winner. Post season resume is garbage but that’s a different forum discussion.

Regardless, Barnes is a proven winner. Team is generally motivated and ready to play. Cant say the same for the football team.

 

[hog88]

He watched the same games we did.

Where neither backup QB played. If Fulmer is meddling to the level of telling the HC who should be playing he's ****ing up royally.

G Tech. QBs usually don't just flip at the last minute. They are built around and they are usually vested before they ever sign the letter. The only way I see a scenario in which he flips is if this staff has a major shake up. Like CJP getting fired because our fans can't seem to get out of their own way. This is a total rebuild situation and our recruits know that but the fans don't.

Off with his head!!!

Dude. I hope that’s how it goes. I understand Pruitt doesn’t want to yank a guy too quick or show publicly he doesn’t have faith in JG, but my god. I surely hope Pruitt is just playing the game, putting on a brave face, but I hope behind the scenes he’s ready to snatch JG off the field.

I guess Jeremy Pruitt wants to sink along with Jarrett Guantanimo

 

[wmcovol]

Pruitt has six "winnable" games left IF he gets the team ready to play and they can play solid football. He's painted himself in this situation where he needs to pull an "inside straight" (6-0 vs Chatt, Miss St, sc, ky UAB, Vandy) or steal a game vs Florida or mizzou. 5-7 or worse is on him.
