Next two games YOU are the coach

Playing all the QB's because it doesn't count against their eligibility. Georgia, Mizzou, and others have done it and found their guy, just saying. Real gameplay gives a better insight than any practice or scrimmage.

I would play JG against KY but if he has back to back turnovers that he is responsible for I’d put in Shrout or Maurer. If we have a sizable lead let HB play some to get experience.

Alabama- We should give Maurer first quarter, JG second and Shrout third quarter. Play the best playing QB 4th quarter. Maybe HB last quarter to throw Bama off?

So reward subpar play by starting them the next game, haven't we tried that method for the last four years?

If I'm the coach and assuming all QB'S are available and in game shape by this point I'd start Maurer and have a few series planned for Shrout and Bailey if the game goes as planned or if Maurer doesn't produce.

Just from watching the QB's in high school it was obvious beyond any reasonable doubt that Bailey is the better QB. He played in a system that got rid if the ball quickly and he proved to be accurate and make quick decisions in his progression. He was blessed to play with a few guys with D1/SEC talent and he ensured they had a chance to shine.

That said I would be ready to put Bailey in for a few series each game beginning with Kentucky and have him ready to take over the QB1 spot for 2021 if not at some point this season.

There are no perfect QB options on the current roster. I would just rather coach youth to gain experience than coach experience for acting youthful.

I’m the coach....so I see Tennessee can’t get it done with it’s current QB. I let the top two “other” guys have all the snaps 1 & 2 throughout the week.

VS KY I start whoever looked the “most complete” and the “most ready”......not necessarily who was the best. Depending on the situation I may give the other one a shot as well......but I would not simply rotate them in and out.

Do I think Tennessee could beat KY with JG....yes; however I don’t think Tennessee could be what I think they are capable of being with JG.....therefore I would make a change.

With the second half I watched yesterday, I can’t honestly say that KY will be an easy win.

First thing I would do is run the living crap out of every Olineman that played Saturday...and when their tired, sweating, and can't run anymore, I'd run them another mile...is it just me or because they were all 4 and 5 stars they play like they are entitled.

Second thing is start BM or even HB against KY instead of JG. Maybe that does why it did last year and fix that crybaby pouty lip attitude...team attitude reflects leadership and if that's how your leadership acts that's how your team responds.

Last thing, I tell Chaney if he throws it one time before we have 50 yards on the ground, he's going to run with the team next week.

So you would be happy to lose trying to get 50yards from running ? How about we just get balanced on play calling and be more creative with our run plays

If you don't play HB, a five star, and sit him behind sophomore 3 stars, he's gone and I don't blame him. No doubt about it. He's not ready. But he'll never be ready not playing (and yes I understand that's a double negative school marms). Dobbs wasn't ready as a true frosh but playing early worked out for him and the program. Sit JG at the first sign he's gone wobbly, get HB in there and go with it.

This also plays into recruiting QBs. How would you ever get the next best thing here if they know they will not play and have to sit behind QBs not playing well.

I agree. Don’t want the freshman getting all upset sitting behind 3*s. None of the qbs are ready because they’ve been given no opportunity to BE ready. Give him his chance. But throw him in vs Alabama so we can see how he truly stacks up to that 3* he’s sitting behind.

I think you gotta play JG, with the hope that you get some plays for the others in games like Missouri (darn) or Kentucky Until we lose some more games, we are still in the hunt for the East. Georgia's offense is limited and needs their defense to bail them out. I could easily see them losing 2 games, one this weekend. JG let's you win games that you're supposed to win. That's The reason he's playing. Now if we start a trend of defeats, and we're out of the race, then by all means, let the other kids play.

Not at all what I'm saying... but I see your point.
By saying don't throw until we hit 50 running yards, I was trying to emphasize to Chaney we need to establish the run and control the line of scrimmage before open up and start throwing.

We probably lose both games because I have no coaching experience.

But for the thought exercise... I’d play whoever my coordinators trusted most. If that included a JG I’d be shocked after the second half meltdown. UK could be difficult if we don’t control time of possession and Bama will require luck, coaching genius, and maybe a touch of cheating.

I would start BM and plan on employing the same strategy as last season. As soon as things begin to get too frenzied, I would bring in another QB. The difference is that instead of it definitely being JG as the relief pitcher, I'd strongly consider Shrout and even HB.

The FIRST THING I'm gonna do is give Chaney his walking papers....He SUCKS....
I'm sick and tired of watching his sh*^ show of an offensive game plan and play-calling in 2nd halves against the better teams.

UGA was overpursuing all day long against us...No misdirection to use it against them except 2 pathetic slow-developing reverses.
Did you see the first play of the Ole Miss/Bama game?? Kiffin threw the ball back against the over-aggressive pursuit of Bama's defense and wore 'em out.

Chaney has NEVER demonstrated the ability to overcome the better defenses--even when he had all of that talent at UGA--IMO

We had the most prolific offense in UT history with Chaney. All he needs is a competent QB.

I honestly have no idea what I would do as coach concerning the QB. There's pros and cons starting JG vs someone else. Otherwise what I would do is make sure I understand the team I'm playing next week. That would be a start. (See Pruitts comment on UGA's defense in the post game presser.) I about fell out of my chair. I'd also make sure Chaney and the offensive coaches work on blocking, tackling, snap counts and protecting the football.

And SO DID UGA with Chaney, too! When are you guys gonna realize that putting up a lot of yards against mediocre teams in the SEC doesn't mean that you are good offensively.

You go break it down for yourself and see the numbers....look at our offensive production against the "also-rans" and compare those numbers with our offensive production against UGA/Florida/Bama/ teams.

It's enlightening

Bama approach would make more sense to me if our season was shot. Kentucky suggestion is sound although, I think we would see JG come back in like last year because it worked. That said, I hope that Pruitt has pulled Chaney, Friend, Martin, Weinke and S&C coach into his office and had a powwow with these guys to fix the blocking and decision making. We missed blocks, had too many penalties, we were absolutely gassed by the second quarter, did not protect the ball, called the wrong plays and did not adjust well.

We were leading because of a freak snap by UGA that sailed into their endzone. I don't see us being able to outscore Alabama, and I'll never think we can beat Florida until the game is over. That second half team that showed up could lose out. I'd roll with Bailey the rest of the way and if he's legit, we will be golden for 2021.

Bailey wasn’t able to really have much practice and you want to throw him to the fire? What happens when he struggles and costs us games? Because the chances of that are SUPER high. Then some will be calling him a bust and calling Pruitt dumb for playing him.

Maurer or Shrout should be playing. Or play them both. Bailey should not see the field this year.
