Pruitt and improving and reality

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

0-8 vs florida bama and uga. Outscored 347-122. That’s 43 points per game average.
he was left with empty cupboard but this needs to change

 

[Hacksaw]

The cupboard had enough in it to be ahead of where we are now. That's just another one of the excuses we need to stop making.

 

[swampfoxfan]

The cupboard included some very good players,Bituli,Smith,Calaway,Jennings,Barnett,D Johnson,Palmer etc. It was not bare.

 

[Remy]

He has a stellar talented OL this season that are playing well below capabilities and expectations singularly and as a unit.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Bare by comparison imo. Not giving a pass. This year is what it is. Next two years needs to be MUCH better

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The cupboard had enough in it not to get embarrased by Vandy, UK, BYU, Mizzou, Florida x2, and Georgia State. It's one thing not to be competitive against UGA and Bama, it's another to have 7 WTF games on your resume in the other 24 games....

When more than 1/3rd of your games ends in a blow out loss......you gots problems.....and it ain’t simply going to change with “two more years.”

May change with a new QB...

I’m hoping it will....and it should......somewhat.

However Pruitt had the chance to have another QB......he chose not to (he chose to take someone who is riding the bench)..that QB just put Indiana on his back and beat a ranked team.

He also “could” have let HB get some nice in game reps.......which according to Pruitt.....he needs......but again he didn’t.

We will see 2 more years of the same, unless Pruitt magically changes “his” ways.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

He’s a garbage coach it’s evident no clue why anyone is defending him. We lost to Georgia state for Christ’s sake

Agree, and some people don't understand this. People keep crying "we gotta close tge talent gap", but there is no gap we should gave to close with several teams that's embarrassed us.

Everyone on the roster next year will be Pruitts recruits, well I forget about this yr doesn't count, jg will be back. Dont know about Smith, he will probably go to nfl

 

[Boone&Crockett]

I think the loss of Callaway and Jennings hurt, I think Taylor and Bituli really hurt, hard to believe that four players can affect a team so much but they were the playmakers on their respective sides of the ball, no one has stepped up especially on the defensive line to take their place, Callaway and Jennings respectively the same, we may have found a new threat at receiver now so we may open up a little but dont think losing those players didnt hurt us.

Start a JG thread so we can discuss it......

I agree! I wonder how low we can go? 2 wins this season?

 

[Tnslim1]

I've always said there's a mighty fine line between stubborn and stupid and our boy Pruitt is straddling the line.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Either the rating system is all crap and our guys aren’t nearly as good as advertised, or we have a serious coaching and teaching problem

 

[FLVOL_79]

And Kentucky.. KENTUCKY!

 

[ftsandersvol]

As much as I hate to admit it because he is a true VFL, the common thread for the last three years has been JG at QB. Well, that and Pruitt's stubbornness.

 

[Boca Vol]

Either the rating system is all crap and our guys aren’t nearly as good as advertised, or we have a serious coaching and teaching problem

It's mind-boggling how the rating system always misses with UT players.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

The latter imo

Problem is that we had only one good lineman in the cupboard.

Barnett?

And Kentucky.. KENTUCKY!

Walked in here and whipped our ass like they owned the place. We showed no fight, no interest at all in winning that game.
