JP is all messed up

[awaitingawin]

Pulls Banks out of RB spot. Says he is having a hard time holding on to the ball. Doesn't give the Kid time to train. Moves him (did he play linebacker tonight)
How many plays did his replacement who ran hard and ran the TD play
But, he leaves a QB in the game that can hardly complete a pass 10 yards down the field.. Overthrows, underthrows and just plain misfires
Yet he leaves a QB on the bench who can throw the stupid ball
Where is that seam route Ty ran last week for a TD catch down the middle.
How many times was KC on his back last week...
How many passes of 10 yds or more ( right on the money) did KC have last week
JEREMY PRUITT SAYS HE DOES ALL THIS MOVING TO GET THE BEST PLAYERS ON THE FIELD

JP better be up front with Vol Nation because believe it or not we remember what you say to those reporters and in press conferences
Vol Nation will not stand for this next year and maybe not week after next...
We trust you until we begin to have reason not to.
JP gets paid big money to make the right player calls. If he stays with JG he will have to live with them

Apparently you only watched Tennessee play offense, because the defense or lack thereof is what lost this game

 

[Volumnus 2011]

Why do people hate Guarantano so much? Dude, did you watch the game? JG helped our offense put up 24 points, which should have been enough to win this game. The defense got one stop the entire second half.

A bunch of y'all don't know jack about football.

Because its really easy to put the loss of a game on the QB. Also, people like to use KCs performance against Bama and say he is a much better QB. To some on here JG was the reason we lost. It had nothing to do with the God awful defense, it was all JGs fault.

 

[marvin616]

Pruitt sounded pretty defeated after the game tonight.

Vols got beat and he fessed up to it.

Can't say he didn't try to win though.

CFA to RB was a good move for 1 play at least.

I think you can tell he is extremely frustrated at what he has to work with. I mean almost every week he talks about guys not doing their jobs correctly.

I think you're right. He's used to having great football players to coach. He doesn't have a lot of that here. I don't know if he realized how bad it was when he took the job. That's why it's important to get recruits here, which is why we have to be patient as a fan base. We'll know by year three if Pruitt is the guy.

CFA averaged more rushing yards per carry than anyone else on the team tonight.

Year zero, right? Same ol same ol. ----I freaking live in SC.

Maybe should have checked the stats. If he didn't realize how bad it was here, that should have given us a little clue of his managing ability. Did he take the job thinking we had Bama personnel?

 

[UTK]

JG IS THE ONLY REASON WE WERE AHEAD AND IN THE GAME. HELLO. Good grief. ****ing stop.

 

[marvin616]

I think you can tell he is extremely frustrated at what he has to work with. I mean almost every week he talks about guys not doing their jobs correctly.

He's definitely frustrated.

He won't have what he is used to or wants at UT for a while, if ever.

Recruiting alone isn't going to get him or UT over the hump.

He needs to show he's good at development, recruiting and x's and o's.

He hasn't proven himself in all 3 of those categories yet, heck even Fulmer's downfall was x's and o's.

UT hasn't had a coach that could do all 3 consistently since Neyland and few other programs have either.

If Pruitt can nail down recruiting then he'll have 2 of 3.

I have to say development has already been shown.

 

[marvin616]

Yes. Didn't know he had more ypc but that's why I said "at least one play" because it was a TD.

 

[marvin616]

Year zero, right? Same ol same ol. ----I freaking live in SC.

I just recently moved to SC.

It sucks, too much of the wrong color orange and those stupid paw prints. Then tonight's loss to the team that the bandwagon fans forgot.

 

[OneVolNation]

Yes. Didn't know he had more ypc but that's why I said "at least one play" because it was a TD.

Yes. Jordan and Chandler did their thing tonight too, but it was good to see CFA get fed the rock a bit. Earlier today, I predicted it would take him 3 carries or less to show that Pruitt was right for moving him into the rotation and sure enough, he scored a touchdown within his first 3 carries. He only had 3 carries all game tonight though. Hopefully he showed enough to earn a few more when needed.

Tim Jordan led in rushing yards and carries and still averaged 5.2 yards per carry along with 29 yards receiving.
Chandler wasn't far behind with 4.9 yards per carry and also had 29 yards receiving (and 27 yards on a kickoff return).

Carlin Fils-Aime averaged 6.7 yards per carry, scored a touchdown, and had the longest run from scrimmage for Tennessee tonight with 14 yards on one play.

JG ran for a tough 10 yards on a play that got a first down.

All the backs played well tonight in my opinion.

We've lost to SC, for now, three years. What bothers me this year, is I really feel like we had the better team. We were showing it, and then that stupid one hand catch in the end zone turned everything. I really hoped the guys could pull this one off for Trey. I've been here 33 years---since college. Great state---sucky teams.

Yeah Pruitts not the problem. Our players are trash tier at this point. Not all of them. But a lot of them have the Botch gene. They fold under pressure. Pruitt has been pretty transparent saying we won’t compete until we get better players. He is trying his best and the frustration shows.

I think Auburn was a fluke and this game shows their true colors. Pruitt put them in a position to win and they game plan was solid.

 

[OneVolNation]

Maybe tonight was the fluke and the Auburn win showed true colors? I mean we saw some good plays by Vols on both sides of the ball.
For defense, some that spring to mind, that tip and interception, some good tackles for losses, sack, and some good stops on 3rd downs to force punts.

For offense, all the running backs, the wideouts Callaway and Jennings, and tight end Wolf had the touchdown grab. CFA ran for a score. Chandler and Jordan caught passes out of the backfield, JG marched the team down the field to score on drives, and he even ran ten yards for a first down himself at one point.

I don't think any of those happen if the coaches didn't develop them and coach them to perform like that.

The big weakness came in the second half with South Carolina running it on us at will with our defensive players having to play catch up from behind on big gains. That 73 yard pass was crazy. We don't need to be giving up any team's longest play from scrimmage.

Something psychological began to break down on offense on the last couple of drives it seemed.

We won the first half but lost the 3rd quarter and didn't even score a single point all 4th quarter.

I don't think it's the coaches or the players as strange as that sounds.

At times there was some brilliant tackling. Then other times the players were out of position and at such bad angles they gave up 20 yards before they could put a hand on the ball carrier and South Carolina feasted on that the whole 2nd half. It's like they found our soft spot and chose to run right at it until we stopped them and we just didn't stop them.

Did Muschamp make halftime adjustments? Most likely.

We looked like a different team the first half though.

 

[VolSummitt44]

The people hating on JG now are the same ones that was calling for him to start last year.

 

[nomads-11]

Not totally sure. Unfortunately I couldn't watch the whole game but was making a mental note or two before halftime. One of them was the running D was atrocious. Guess that went from bad to worse. So surprise the passing game clicked for them?

He had a good game tonight. Had a completion high game. Stood in there and took the hits on the chin while delivering strikes. Had a bunch of balls dropped by the WRs. You are not giving this guy, or staff much credit for what we have. You see doom and gloom and moral victories, I see improvement in a team learning to play football. JG is not the problem

 

[tbones0711]

Heck he was a defensive coordinator all he had to do was stop them or slow'em down. OP sees it the way I do....outscore 'em which we got the talent to do. IT's called playing to our strengths. We're now 8 games in. Chryst is our strength or coulda been. I see all his points. I could care less about seeing JG throwing another pass because he can't. I posted about this Thurs. It is what it is. Pruitt pumps them up till game day and then fails by not having a good game plan or having the ability to adjust in a flash. In the SEC oftentimes he who adjust the fastest gets more points. You new around here? UT has a 1ST year coach that isn't impressive and got his dumbazz humbled tonight. He's less impressive with the OC he bought in here with him. Stoops, Mason, and Odum will humble them in like manner and he'll get better a little bit at a time. This was a 2nd chance to prove himself and it didn't happen.
Coulda swore I saw JG overthrow receivers out in the flat behind the LOS at least 3 times tonight and once JJ didn't even try to catch one. I hope JP watches all that on film and scratches his bald head because appararently some of us fans are seeing something he's not and it happened on the field.

He may be the guy and he may not be. He's been here long enough to know what he has and how to get the best out of it. Bad coaching or being out-coached cost us way more than the players IMO.

I disagree with saying he tried to win. Trying isn't gonna get it. OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE CALLS weren't good enough. Those calls are sent in by coaches. I played with pros who drawed in the dirt. He mildly fessed but shifted it,(blame), on players. He acts hopped up on meth just like CBJ did on the sideline. He's over-reaching by attempting that style. Hell the world ain't gonna end over a game with S.CARL. especially when the world knows you've never coached before and don't feel you have the quality of players your used too.
Sorry Bama man that's all we got here now BOY. We had enough to win tonight and they managed the clock perfectly but these are the coaches own words every play is critical. Why then do we have a QB attempting to pass out in the flat on 1st down when I just witnessed Jordan gaining 7-8 yds on the 2 prior 1st downs on our last offensive drive where a FG coulda tied the game. Do you analyze stupid azz playcalling when you look at film? If you say yes your a hypocrite because you as a staff repeat the error and by not giving Chryst a chance you aren't anywhere near Saban who took a chance on Tua in the title game. You, unlike him have nothing to lose and you still won't do it. Let hard-headedness cost you more losses and get JG off the field in the processs. Use the OLine as a scapegoat. Every play is critical why expose us to ignorant chit we know ain't gonna work?
