That is what bothers me so much. We didn’t need HB to be ready at T Lawrence level. We just needed HB to be competent and better than JG. I know he would of been capable early on this season if he had just been given adequate practice time before the season started.A capable QB will fix a lot of what ails the Vols right now...... while this year has been a total **** show.... all you have to do is think of the worst **** you’ve seen .....
That’s where covid actually came into play. HB was there in the spring, but no spring practice and fall camp was impacted as well.That is what bothers me so much.

He may not be the nail but there is no denying he is easily the worst QB in Tennessee history. Everyone can pick a QB’s single performance as worst “single game QB” in Tennessee history but the fact JG has played in 40+ games and his record is sub .500 and career average is under 200 yards a game is amazing. The guy hasn’t done anything significantly successful over the course of his career here.
In my sports fan history dating 50 years, my favorite teams have won championships about 5 or 6 times. That averages out to be about once every 10 years. I’m grateful for each and every one of them. It’s the possibility of winning one that keeps me interested. I was still fully invested in UT coming into 2020. It’s been the toughest and most frustrating year I have ever been involved in as a fan, mainly because the fix for UT football this year was so easy and in my opinion completely ignored by our HC.
I’ve mentioned it before and I’m sticking with it, the whole demeanor of the team will change with someone else behind center. This team has no faith in JG and they’ve laid down on Pruitt because of his dumb decision to keep the guy in.
How long did contact tracing stop Bailey from practicing.? The biggest issue with HB was that Pruitt intentionally did not give him practice time because he assumed he wasn’t worth the resources after a preliminary 10 snap initial session.That’s where covid actually came into play.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just saying his potential practice time was impacted.
That’s a possibility too.... I think Pruitt thought he could build off of last year’s momentum but it blew up in his face in the first quarter of the KY game and he refused to adaptHow long did contact tracing stop Bailey from practicing.? The biggest issue with HB was that Pruitt intentionally did not give him practice time because he assumed he wasn’t worth the resources after a preliminary 10 snap initial session.
JG has killed two head coaches...Well one is on life support but the plug is about to get pulled soon....He's a coach killer.
No he won't...Wanna know why?...Because he has no clue how to develop players...That team looks completely lost out there...Saying the worst QB in the SEC is our best chance of winning solidifies my point.Let's stop this myth. It's pithy, but it's completely inaccurate.
Butch got fired because terrible recruiting in his late years, terrible player development, and destroying the S&C program. JG was a backup QB who played in a few games in '17 where he basically didn't have an O-line.
If Pruitt gets fired, it will be because of sticking with JG too long, though. The sooner Pruitt starts Bailey (or even Maurer), the better the chances that he survives.

If I remember correctly, HB had to go through quarantine twice for contact tracing, so he really didn't get any practice time in the fall.How long did contact tracing stop Bailey from practicing.?

We have been a doormat for over a decade. That’s almost 10% of the time Tennessee has been a football program....
I don’t want to be such a negative ****, but after seeing our administration do stupid things like give Pruitt an extension. Before the season started, I’m convinced there’s way more problems here than most realize.
