Not even started SEC play yet. SEC play is where the opposing D Lines are quick as grasshoppers. You think you have seen whiffing now, well just wait another week and the weeks following.
You people need to stop the constant whining. We got what we got and thats just the facts.
Pruitt is the man and Helton calls good plays....sorry if the don't all work...
I'm all in for this whole team and thier great coaches.
So just enjoy the great runs and some good D at times and some good catches that are made.
You people just have to face it that we are 3 years away..

There is nothing wrong with the coaches. We don't have the players. We do have some good players that will get better.
Enjoy the increments of improvement but we are heading for the shredding machine which is the SEC.
Get behind the team and support the players and quit acting like you know more than these coaches by being critical all the time. It's going to take 3 years.
If you can't get behind the team then take a couple years off from football and check back in ocassionaly

Should equal way more than 24 points

Had 7pts taken away because of a “fumble” and another 7pts because of a chop block that had no effect on the play (still can’t happen). We were sloppy in the first half with penalty’s and the muffed punt. First time we’ve had that issue all year. We’ll be more disciplined come Saturday.

That’s my point. Can’t have that garbage. Not good enough to overcome them. And we better be. UF isn’t good but they’re better than we are. We’re going to have to play a clean game.

It all started with the ridiculous Kiffin hire. He leaves at a bad time and you get Dooley. Nobody wants to clean up his mess so you end up with Butch. I haven't felt confident with any of the post Phil hires (the first two were downright laughable).

Maybe JP is the rare exception of a 5th or 6th choice rookie coach that makes it in the SEC, but the odds are low.

Well, I was never sold on Dooley. Butch fooled me by showing the progress he did in year 3, but that's why I feel better about Pruitt.

Jones showed me progress by assembling a really talented bunch. Barnett, Hurd, Dobbs, Kamara, Kirkland... we had talent. And our record got better.

But what we heard were catch phrases and excuses. "I was looking at the chart". We were changing to a new offensive scheme and told we just didn't understand it. Us dumb Tennessee hicks just didn't understand.

With Pruitt, he is saying the same things we are. He's saying, 'You know, we just don't play very good'. He points out specific ways we are doing things wrong, and it makes sense.

Now, maybe he isn't the guy to win us National Championships. But I think he is the guy to get us back to playing fundamentally sound football. And that will be enough to change the culture and lay a foundation.

If we can give him 5 to 7 years, and decide he isn't the coach, we would have time to find the right person. And a foundation to build on.

Great points and these are the biggest issues. The Butch hire was laughable as well. Many had to google his name. Since Fulmer was fired, we have cheaped out on now 4 straight coaching hires. While I faith in Pruitt, he definitely has his work cut out for him.

I would be more concerned if that was an ongoing issue, but surprisingly we’ve been good in the penalty and turnover department. I hate using this as an excuse but noon games suck add to that Florida is next week probably resulted in being a little sloppy.
