Agree! This is what you get with a OC that's never been an OC before. He has no clue how to call Plays. We are sooooo predictable on offense. Also, Jeremy Banks should be our starting RB. He's the only one that can run through people and with our O line, you have to be able to break tackles in our own backfield.

He really is in over his head, I’m afraid. If Coach Pruitt can’t see that I don’t know why not.

JG may hold it too long sometimes, but at this point he's got to have no expectation that there will be a pocket when he drops back. I've never seen an o-line this bad.

Did you watch our games last year? JK

I just hope someone has the foresight to move us off CBS at 3:30 this coming Saturday and saves us the embarrassment... we don’t deserve better than local or SEC Network coverage

I saw that play and my thinking was he’s overwhelmed, frightened.

The play of JG diving out of bounds with no defensive player around exemplifies his lack of awareness around him....... it looked so strange, like he was scared to death

Volnation, we really just have to forget about yesterday. I wish it wasn't against the Gators but the way that first interception happened I knew the footballs gods were going to have fun with us yesterday. And they did. I can only assume Kiffin sacrificed some virgin coeds while here and were still paying for it.

I am seeing the orange shoots of recovery though. I don't think coaching is the problem. It might be the only thing keeping us fielding a football team. I think we are starting to line-up and look like we want to play SEC football again. I see systems being installed that will work in future. Right now the problem is Botch killed the love of the game for most of these young men. That's what I'm seeing. Dobbs and Barnett were leaders and the only ones we've had for a decade. They literally carried the team to 9 wins. I don't know how Pruitt can fix it but we'll only know if he can next year.

I don't know if Pruitt is the real deal but despite everything yesterday, I still see positive things and almost all of it coaching. He needs to show this recruiting cycle he has elite recruiting staff and skills. It's cliche I know but Botch left a lingering contagion on this team. He simply killed the fun for these young men. Recruiting might be the only way Pruitt can fix that.

Let's see if CJP can pull a major upset over the next month and let's see if he can recruit against the best in the SEC. It's going to be another long year but I think there are positives. Let's hang in there.

Gonna be hard to forget when it happens on repeat for the rest of the season. At least.

I pray the Vols are not on any prime time broadcasts the rest of the year, save Comedy Hour, because it is indeed comical

Yeah. Blame on it on the fans.

I wish it was as easy as every other team (minus Arkansas) in the SEC thinks it is. Because they all seem to be operating just fine without being a laughing stock.

Release a video telling the fans how important it is that they show up. 100,000 screaming fans show up. Team decides to mail this one in. VN members say everyone was stupid for showing up expecting anything different.

Sounds about right.
