Players not being developed

[Eastknox865]

Watching our team play then watching others it seems like our players are not being developed. Look at the Kentucky game they are able to run against Georgia. We on the hand could not gain a yard in Georgia. Our defensive backs are lost most of the time even with our head coach being this great defensive guru. Missouri looked terrible against us but seem to be improving weekly while we are getting worse weekly. I don't know what the issue is but something is terribly wrong and it's not just the terrible quarterback play.

Our issues go far beyond talent and QB issues. Our issues are much more coaching and team chemistry related...

Bad coaching and decision making by Pruitt is the problem

so is there a solution with the current head coach?
changing coordinators and some others?
or do we bite the bullet again and change head coaches yet again.
im beyond exasperated and deflated.

Ask again later. I just got back from the liquor store where my wife dropped her driver's license down a sewer grate. I used a tape measure and duct tape to fish it out and it's the only thing I've caught in two years.

Great adaptability! Can you make halftime adjustments for Tennessee? You seem to be able to think a little quicker than CJP

Bill Dance will be at your doorstep.

Honestly, JP needs to be hands-off with the offense, much like Orgeron was with LSU. The only coaching input he needs with the offense is when he wants to go for 4th down conversions (not the play calling) and player discipline for rule violations or behavioral issues.

So you got separation and made the catch.

That's what I said I thought

You didnt explicitly bring up chemistry (but to be fair, chemistry is coaching)

I’ve been working. Did we trot JG back out there today?

Our players haven’t been being developed for 10 years now.

Today is the best day JG has had all season

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

We saw this with Butch by year three and we got exactly what some expected two years later with the worst UT football team to date. Pruitt may actually give that one a run for it's money this year and still we will have people using every excuse imaginable.

Kentucky had over 100 yards rushing and played a good game we on the other had what -1 yards rushing and got blown out. That's my point

 

[tnvols72]

also JP did not hire a S&C coach and these players look weak. Being dragged down field,always being pushed around

JG blew us out. UK had barely 50 yards at half vs UT. And barely outgained us total, and we absolutely gave up. UK is not good.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

UK is not good.

And they beat us by 27 at home and beat us down enough where our players quit in the second half...

Why the hell is that, anyway? Who in the SEC believes you don't need a Commander-in-Chief at S&C??? Besides Butch, I mean. What's next? No walk up juice bar???

JP needs to trust the coordinators he hired and quit being a micromanager at this point in his career.

If he has to approve every offensive play or call 1/2 the defense, he is not allowing those he hired to do their job.

Exactly we quit BC defense saw they had no chance with our offense.

not to sound like a broken record but it would be so interesting to see what the team might’ve looked like with good qb back play this year. The qb position in football is unlike any position in any other sport. The play of that one position effects every other player in some shape or form. The oline looks better with good qb play. So do the running backs. Obviously, the receivers need a good QB. And the entire defense benefits from a good qb (because that means good offense which allows the defense to rest in between series). And this is all without even considering the spirit boost a team plays with when they know their qb is the man. Not trying to be negative here but the inability from Pruitt to recognize that JG is terrible (and move heaven and earth to get a good one) tells you all you need to know about the guy. He’s just not smart enough to be a good head coach.
