Championship coaches records in year 3

[Devo182]

Saban - 14-0
Fulmer - 11-1
Miles- 12-2
Meyer - 9-4 after going 13-1 in year 2
Stoops - 11-2
Carroll - 12-1

Championship coaches don’t usually regress. The exception is Dabo. He went 6-7 in his third year and then his program took off but that’s the ACC.

Well...there's still hope he goes 6-7 like Dabo. Beating vandy gives us a regular schedule equivalent of 6-6 at least (assuming we had lost to OU in week 2).

Saban was 6-5, 6-6, 7-5, and 6-6 in his first four years at Michigan State.

Interesting stats but we don’t need to look at what other coaches have done to know that our head coach is not good at his job. We only need to look at what we have seen with our own eyes.

Disagree. These stats are an effort to project success.

While we can all agree that what we've seen on the field isn't good and that coaching decisions haven't been quality, that isn't the point of these coaching records. Instead, the records are an effort to examine the likelihood that a coach, i.e. Pruitt, will be successful despite the bad start to his career. The odds are absolutely not in Pruitt's favor, especially UT being his first head coaching stop.

You skipped right over his time at Pitt, you mentioned 1 season at Iowa State and a couple at UT.

Pruitt is in way over his head, he's not smart enough to run a program

Johnny Majors and Jeremy Pruitt shouldn't be mentioned in the same paragraph, at this point.

It's a strawman to bring up Pruitt not going 12-0/win the SEC/win an NC. No one expected that in year 3.

Losing to the likes of Georgia State, and BYU, in year two, losing to Kentucky and an Arkansas that shouldn't have been a problem, is a pretty clear indicator of the trajectory of this program under Pruitt.

Then again, beating Auburn at Auburn in YEAR 1, as well as dominating a ranked Kentucky team and then putting together an eight game win streak where the players consistently played their guts out is another type of trajectory.

It's not as clear cut as you make it, Pruitt has been both hot and cold.

Best bet for our program is that he gets hot again, and in a hurry.

With a team made up predominately of players he and his staff didn't recruit or develop;it's been the story of Pruitt's career

If Pruitt has beaten Kentucky and Arkansas, two opponents that this team SHOULD be able to defeat, most would be somewhat mollified. But that didn’t happen. Neither of those teams is good.

All of the same mistakes common in year one are are still being made. This team STILL doesn’t have on the field leadership. This team STILL makes massive mental errors. This team still STILL wilts when it matters. And, of course, this team STILL has no serviceable QB.

I’ll be happy to be wrong, but there has been nothing shown on the field that suggests that this team is improving. In fact, quite the opposite.

I told y’all I had a good feeling we was gone come to play tonight
