LOL year one doesn't count?

Year one counts for every other coach in the NCAA, but never for UT's coach. The fact that we keep hiring coaches that need a "year zero" tells you everything you need to know about the quality of that hire.

I'm so sick of this "year zero" crap and that apparently every coach since Fulmer has inhertied "the worst situation in UT history".

I am still hoping Pruitt can pull it off and yes, he has had some challenges with no recruiting time his first year and COVID this year. I also get that he was trying to protect Bailey for a bit.

that said, while Pruitt clearly knows football, there has been a lot of issues with what he is putting on the field. Several of our losses this year were ridiculous.

I like JP but after 3 years, I should not be required to believe in him. I should be able to SEE the results with my eyes.

Well stated. I have never been on the Pruitt bandwagon, but I do think he should have one more year to see if he can turn it around.

In the last three games, Tennessee has seen its passing game take the next step. The Vols have passed for 240-plus yards in three straight games, marking the first time they have done that since the 2012 season – 381 at South Carolina, 530 vs. Troy, 432 vs. Missouri. It's also the first time that UT has passed for 240-plus yards in three straight SEC games since 2009 – 259 vs. Auburn, 310 vs. Georgia, 265 at Alabama. Tennessee threw for 242 yards at Auburn on Nov. 21, 240 yards vs. No. 6 Florida on Dec. 5 and 328 yards in a win at Vanderbilt on Dec. 12.

True freshman Harrison Bailey and sophomore J.T. Shrout each threw a pair of touchdowns in the win at Vanderbilt on Dec. 12. It was the first time the Vols threw four or more touchdowns in a game since tallying four against No. 20 Florida on Sept. 24, 2016. In the last two games combined, Tennessee has thrown for six touchdowns and only one interception. The six TD passes is tied for the SEC lead with Alabama in the month of December. In the two December games, UT is 48-of-69 for 568 yards and a completion percentage of 69.6, which ranks third in the SEC behind Texas A&M (78.3) and Alabama (75.8).

Against No. 6 Florida on Dec. 5, Tennessee orchestrated three scoring drives of over 94 yards. It was the first time since at least 2003 that the Vols had three scoring drives of 90+ yards in a game. In a loss at No. 21 Auburn on Nov. 21, the Vols tallied 28 first downs, representing the most in the Jeremy Pruitt era. It was also the most first downs in a game by UT since recording 29 against Kentucky on Nov. 12, 2016. Tennessee has put up over 400 yards of total offense in two of its last three games, including a Pruitt-era-high 540 at Vanderbilt and 464 at No. 21 Auburn on Nov. 21.
If you just look, you will see that we're starting to show some identity. Pruitt is learning, he will get there.

Hey OD, hope all is well. Glad to see you are still holding on to optimism.

All wins and losses - only losers use those excuses. And FYI - JG was a Butch guy that freaking rolled out there for nearly three seasons. That was his decision and no one else's.

Irrational - It was Pruitt's decision to play JG for the better part of three seasons and didn't bring in a QB who could play. The facts are everywhere you just refuse to acknowledge them. Many of Pruitt's players can't even get on the field - guess that is Jones fault to. Pruitt is 0 and 9 against Fla, GA and Bama - he said in his opening pressser those are the games that he will be judged by!

In year three here is where Pruitt is:

TN Offense - Ranked 117th in 3rd down conversions.

TN Offense - Ranked 94th in total offense.

TN Defense - Ranked 59th in total defense.

Winning % - Ranked 87th.

Scoring Offense - Ranked 104th.

Scoring Defense - Ranked 68th.

Pruitt Overall Record - 16 and 18; definite regression in wins and losses this season.

Pruitt is the worst Tennessee Football Coach in the last 50 years.

This is Pruitt's team!

The buyout issue is a truck load of horse manure, See Auburn, SCjr., Vandy, Illinois, Arizona, Utah State, and more to come. TN will lose more oney if Pruitt is retained because he will have to "re-work" his staff - the incoming coaches will demand hire $$$ and multi-year deals - which would be Pruitt's 3rd staff. He sucks as a head coach!
