Better hope for one more year and a new QB will fix this! If you fire him who will you get? They still want have the money to get a big name coach. Jim Chaney with a capable QB can get it done.

Do you really think we are just a QB away? We might have been a QB away from KY, AR, and AU. Although this team is way off from AL,FL,and UGA. So if you are cool being mid to bottom of the conference then sure lets just keep rolling with what we have.

So we can’t fire our sucky a** coach because we might hire another sucky a** coach? I mean at this point General Neyland’s corpse would be better than Pruitt.

Didn't Lyle have a computer out there on a card table that spit out analytics?

Can you give me a reason to hope that Pruitt will let Chaney have free reign over the O? I have seen Chaney produce high scoring O's. I haven't seen him tolerate a QB that plays like JG... which bolsters my suspicion that Pruitt dictated that choice.

UT will lose OL's next year. There may be a ready made excuse that UT is "rebuilding" the OL. There are always excuses. If left to his own devices... you'd probably see Chaney do what he did in '12. Teach the OL to pass block and throw the ball. Pruitt's philosophy has been the opposite. He wants to run 60% of the time and win with defense. So convince me that Pruitt is going to abandon what he believes.


Actually, this is one of the better years since Fulmer was fired for UT to conduct a coaching search. There is good young talent on the roster at an acceptable level of individual development. An announcement within the next 2-3 weeks would help salvage a decent recruiting class that fills needs.

Kiffin inherited a roster with big talent holes and no depth. Many of his recruits did not work out.

Dooley inherited a roster heavily dependent on young players for the first two years and then recruited weakly.

Jones inherited a roster that was likely better than either of the first two but proved very capable of underperforming talent. By the time he got the "5 years to install his system and recruit his players"... the roster was as bad as it was when the whole mess started once you factor in the poor development. Recruiting fell off considerably.

If fired now... the next coach inherits a good, young roster and a good recruiting class.
