Offensive changes

[maxxx]

I see all the coaching change threads. And I'm sick of them. Canning a guy before his first class are seniors is shear stupidity. It destroys any hope of continuity. And hurts a program more th a n anything. Staying the course is sometimes hard. But yhe reward will be greater.

I've e a these this offense look stale for 3 years now. Does anyone support the idea of firing Chaney and bringing in Freeze? This way the head guy stays the same. And he can continue the strong recruiting. And culture development. It would be cheaper to make zfreeze the highest paid OC in the country. Rather than the huge financial hit of firing Pruitt.

Run the data.

Why has Chaney helmed highly effective offenses everywhere but here this time around?

Why would Freeze consider a demotion from HC to OC?

The idea doesn't add up.

Do you think we'd pay 5 mil for an OC? That's probably what it would take. Not sure how Pruitt would feel about an assistant making 1.2 mil/year more than him.

A guy that can get 3 mil/year at a place like Liberty will never be an assistant anywhere. He's not far behind Pruitt in salary now.

Why does Pruitt need a 3rd OC in 4 years?

You might want to research Chaney & the QBs he's developed in his career. Pretty astounding. He should be coaching QBs at Tennessee.

You're asking an OP during a nonexistent coaching search to use logic. Not gonna happen, I'm afraid.

 

[NATHAN05]

I get what you're trying to say OP, but long story short, with the in-game adjustments (were none), play calling, game management, personnel decisions, obvious micro managing, stubbornness, and condescending attitude towards fans and media you just know we're delaying the inevitable. You know at some point you're going to have to take him behind the barn and put him down, might as well do it now and end the agony and misery and get the next rebuild in motion........but basketball looks great.....so there's that.

Pruitt needs to allow Chaney to run the offense, without question, this coming season. If it continues to underperform, its time to re-think.

I will never support Freeze stepping foot on our campus unless it s the beat the stuffing out of him and any team he might bring here. I would never stoop low enough to hire him as anything higher than a handy man to clean the septic tanks.

Well then there’s that whole Born Again Christian thing...with the we are all sinners...then the Jesus forgives stuff but hey...you do you.

Getting rid of Pruitt now is shear stupidity but you thinking Freeze wants to go be an OC next season is intelligent?

Pruitt had two recruiting classes that were 100 % recruited by by him and his coaches coming into the 2020 season. He recently stated that he had 50 freshmen and sophomores on this team. There are few coaches that would come here to coach with the hateful immature comments made on this board. I graduated from UT in 71. I remember attending games in the 80's when we started 0 and six. Rebuilds are difficult . Fans were not clamoring for Major's job. If we keep firing coaches every three years we will never get out of this hole. Pruitt is a football guy with years coaching. He is not stupid as some people claim. It is not the X'S AND O'S. It's the Jimmy's and Joe's. I would never post anything that would hurt the program. We may have lost 4 or 5 recruits because of some of the many comments posted here. Pruitt will change coaches where he needs too. TN fans need to pull together .

Money and a foot back inside the door to the top level programs.

Too much common sense going on here.

Hugh Freeze isn't coming here to work for Pruitt at this point, period. I think some of you are really underestimating just how bad Pruitt is behind the scenes. He's not a smart person, at all

 

[chattavol420]

Sorry op but you’re wrong. Shear stupidity was continuing to trot the same qb out there game after game just because he knew the playbook the best. Then after he literally threw away game after game Pruitt choose to simplify the play book instead of giving any of the other talented players a chance. Dumb was running a hurry up offense against Bama (the highest scoring team in football)...only to run the ball up the middle 75% of the time. This thread could go on and on with all the dumb decisions Pruitt has made. But the reality is...he’s just not an intelligent decision maker. He’s not a charismatic guy that’s good at motivating young men. He’s a nice enough guy and a hard worker. But he doesn’t have the skill set necessary to be a great head coach. It’s not about time.

Shear stupidity is starting this thread. If you can name me a coach, currently at a power five program, that had two losing seasons in his first three years and had a massive turn around in years 4 and 5 I’d maybe listen. Jeremy Pruitt is on the level of Chad Morris, Jim McEwain and Will Muschamp right now. If Tennessee doesn’t can his ass next week then every fan should know how serious Tennessee is about winning the east again.

I use that 0-6 start by Majors in 88 as a reference quite often. It was an equal feeling of hopelessness and ineptitude UNTIL Johnny went nuclear option! FIRED legendary DC Ken Donohue...replaced him with Mathews the RBs coach, switched to the 4-3, switched a backup RB to starting corner, switched Shazzon Bradley from ILB to DT...and so on. What he DIDN’T DO was stand pat and point to the next season. He got started toward winning NOW and behold...next season 11-1. Nothing in that parable remotely resemble this mess Pruitt threw out there THIS season. And if 4-5 recruits were “lost” due to comments on a team’s message board? They weren’t worth having. I don’t attack any kid that shows interest in this program, much less commits, but if any are poring over this free access forum and get intimidated? They don’t need to be representing on the field in the cutthroat SEC.

Nothing’s Happening and Pruitt’s still constipated!

The offense has looked stale for three years, whether the OC is named Helton or Chaney, because we have a head coach who thinks the best offense is one that keeps his defense rested and ready. He thinks he's the best offensive coordinator for this team and it shows.

You could call back the dead and give Pruitt a Bill Walsh, a Paul Brown, or a Knute Rockne. You could give him Brady from LSU or Spurrier from his glory days at Florida. It will not matter. The offense will remain stale because this head coach is stuck in a Gene Stallings Alabama power football mindset that very few programs employ in the modern game.

The only problem to me would be if he is successful he would be gone in a year.

Please clarify. Did you really just say the majority of coaches in college football make decisions on where to coach at based on the message boards each school has and how relatively “nice” they are?

Maybe you should take a look at some of the actions that allegedly led Pruitt leaving the GA and FSU jobs....
