JG is not an SEC QB

Didnt like the lazy play calling especially 3 consecutive QB sneaks on 3rd and 1 with the same formation each time.

Too many mistakes all the way around. Hopefully we clean it up in the 2nd half.

2nd or 3rd time two Ga.St. linebackers both got up alongside the damn nose-tackle knowing a sneak was coming. JG had to see it you'd think. We had timeouts and he should have used one then for sure. This boils down to awareness and this is where he's really lacking. We needed that 1st down to maintain early momentum. He also lacks leadership abilities big time. Jennings is a pure natural leader and he's gonna be mad this week. As for JG I haven't cared for him since he publicly pouted on the sidelines in the Ga.Tech game to begin the 2017 season because Dormady was the starter. That demonstrated childish behavior IMO. If Mauer has some wheels and can extend some plays why not give him a shot? It's gonna take a 1/2 season before our lines develop any cohesion as a unit anyway. JG can hit the portal and the sooner the better. All the gloomy Vol fans should accept that it's going to take some time and games before our new linemen gel as a team. Darnell W. hasn't been enrolled but for 3 months at the most and just began practice in August. The things this team needs most are the things that come with time and that's experience, period.

Is this a serious question? UT administrators' salaries depend on a successful football program because it funds a substantial portion of the university's operations. If that massive source of funding suddenly dried up, they would be forced to re-evaluate how they prioritize said football program, specifically how they approach hiring a head coach for said program. You may not have noticed, but there is enough evidence in at this point to declare safely that they have a pattern, dating back eleven years now, of hiring under-qualified coaches for this position so they can save money compared to what other schools with our level of revenue, and many with less than our level of revenue, are paying for their head coaches.

Whereas conversely, if fans continue to patronize the product that at this point has well-eclipsed the point of being total and utter unwatchable crap, the UTAD will merely continue smugly along, making their big salaries as each day one of the most storied football programs in Division I history is driven further and further into a cavern beneath the ditch (we would have to improve significantly at this point just to get back up to being in the ditch).

Agreed .

The quicker we realize this place doesn’t give a crap about us or state/school pride the better.

We’re just the “dumb rednecks” who buy their crap every year.

“BOYCOTT THIS PROGRAM.

Hey, your being insensitive. You could say “personcott this program” but that isn’t inclusive to people who identify as animals or aliens. Prob need to say “non-binarycott” now days.

He just isn’t. His first pass needed touch; instead he throws a bullet for a INT. His pathetic early slide cost a first down. He was bailed out from another INT with a defensive PI.

I just don’t understand the love affair with this guy. He’s awful.

I agree I get sick and tired of him throwing 70 mile per hour passes to receivers five yards downfield

I live in AZ so they don't get any money directly from me.

Not going to games won't change anything for the better. Go to games if you want to. Don't if you don't want to. I don't blame anybody for not wanting to go but boycotting to affect positive change is useless.

This is simply untrue. You really think that dips in fan attendance when the wheels came off with Dooley and Jones had nothing to do with their firings? I suppose you think Schiano unhired himself? Saying fan actions have no bearing on AD actions is about as silly a statement as could ever be made about a university. We haven't had a large-scale fan boycott yet; I would love to see you come on here and try to claim it had no effect if one should happen.

And it's "effect" change, not "affect."

Our other QB’s must suck badly to keep marching JG out there. He is serviceable but he is not the main reason we lost. The defense was atrocious and this is a from a head coach that’s a defensive minded coach. SMH!

It’s not that they “suck”. Pruitt values experience over talent and THATS why a change wasn’t made.

The way JG performed in the fourth quarter against Georgia State is all you ever need to know about him. That's him. Indecisive, taking sacks, not making plays, looking lost, falling down, almost like be wasn't trying.

Compare JG's performance in the 4th vs Bo Nix in the 4th for Auburn vs Oregon. Nix: diving for 1st down, firing up his troops, fire in his eyes, making plays when game was on the line.

He used affect properly I believe as a verb....you used effect in your sentence properly as a noun. Affect is the action to change and effect is the result after change. Impact is a more simple word to use anyways.

Guys, stop fighting.

It's adding insult to injury to be sitting here arguing with more intensity than the players we cheer on played with today.

If they don't care, and they sure as hell didn't today, why should we?

Care about the program when the program cares about winning. They don't now.

This is Pruitt’s inexperience as a HC and not coaching a starting lineup to play in this game.

We boycotted before, we got a coach that wasn’t ready for the job.

He is learning, and we all have to lay in the bed we made.

The guy makes 4 million a year...He should've already learned whatever it is he had to before taking the job...We didn't make this bed Fulmer did and now we have to lay in the cold wet spot.

At least we're no longer the most recent Power Five school to lose to Wyoming.
They flashed up Wyoming's 14-game Power Five losing streak as soon as I turned their game on.
That's Georgia State when they're beating Vandy in 2030 for their first Power Five win since 2019.

Our goose was cooked the moment they tried to hire Schiano.
I was ditching the program at that point. When they walked back the hire, I decided to stick it out.

THESE ARE KIDS WHO CHOSE US TO PLAY FOR.

I'm not sure how your post addresses his point, but in my honest opinion, I think it shows poor decision making to choose the Vols right now, so maybe that is part of the problem, the team is only getting kids right now who generally make poor decisions.

If you're a 4 or 5 star player out there, go somewhere that has it's **** together. I have no idea why you'd want to risk your future on this program when there's no guarantee it is going to be respectable.
