I agree, if im a defensive specialist I am hiring a oc that can run things so I never have to worry about that side of the ball! OC is terrible, you can tell a big diff in rb's with weinke since last year(missing holes, fumbles, don't understand who to block) ect, an oline is bad but should be better by the end of season and they are not. Upgrade these three and recruit and pruitt can do very well!

Letting CRG go in favor of Weinke was stupid.

If he wasn't your guy you go out and find someone better than an analyst or GA to be your RB coach.

It's a different time and age now.. vandy actually went out and got a coach ( not to say that ol dude at candy is a world beater but..). James Franklin started it and Mason took over and the rest is history.

5-7 was not the record most of us expected.. however, let's get real for a moment. You had back to back laughing stock coaches with one of those guys, blowing huge leads and had a chance to do something for the first time in nearly 20 years (at that time). Pruitt can't win with players that do not respect him as coach OR just don't give a damn.

Vandy has made 2 bowl appearances in 5 years. They’ve not gotten better, we’ve gotten worse

What Pruitt seemingly doesn’t understand is media appearances and his team’s performance are all we have to judge him on, and neither are good. Fans and the press will turn on him fast if he doesn’t show on field progress next year

I really don’t think he cares.
He wants to win as much as anyone and is way more worried about that than what you and I think

Makes you wonder what Pruitt was thinking hiring Helton. It should of been crucial to hire a proven OC

I was wondering what he was thinking on the OC. Tee was responsible for USC offensive success. I didn't like seeing Gillespie go. We don't have a, QB coach, it's all combined into one OC position... smh

My confidence is high on Pruitt.
1. His roster is crap from the previous staff
2. He did better with the same/less level of talent than last year.
3. We won 2 sec games compared to 0 last year and they were ranked teams.
4. Mizzou is a lot better than their record stated. They were on the wrong end of the luck against Kentucky and south Carolina.
5. Vandy has better talent than we do.
6. Pruitt can recruit his ass off and that will happen in the off season. Give him time folks and stop making the fan base look stupid. The recruits look on the forum and they see y'all acting like this definitely doesn't help.

That’s probably true. Regardless of how bad he wants to win, unless something changes in the press or on the field, the perception is he’s an a**hole who can’t do his job. And that guy is easy to turn against

I have just as much confidence in Pruitt now as I did at the beginning of the season. I am very confident. Its just going to take him time. People can flame away, saying its excuses blah, blah, blah. This antiquated thinking that Vandy is a trash team needs to stop. This team took a playoff Notre Dame to the wire. This isnt the 90's anymore people, sorry to break it to you. The we are TN and we dont lose to Vandy is a joke. The only people who still stick to thay are just delusional Vol fans.

If UT/Fulmer hired Bubba the water boy you’d have confidence in him.

I’m still in wait and see mode. It’s lower now than it was after UK, but I will see what this “master recruiter” does this cycle and what he and his staff put on the field next year. Next year will be a big signal as to which direction this program is heading.

Vandy has better players. That's amazing... but true. Five years of abject incompetence at HC has left UT even WORSE than they were. And I have no idea how good or bad Pruitt is. He may be just as bad... but I'm pretty confident he cannot be worse.

Did Auburn or KY have less talent than us?

I have less of it than i did after UK i know that. I don't know. He needs a monster class, i don't think he's going to get it. Good class not the kind of class he needs. Going to be a slow process with him like it has been with everyone else. People will run out of patience with him about year 3 including me if it doesn't look night and day better than what we've seen.

next year we will be in our 11th year of a 3 year rebuild.

My point was every team/coach has an off day, it’s understandable. Our team/coach has had several which is not.

Bunch of idiots in here, so he’s suppose to take a crap roster, with a mediocre recruiting class and suddenly be competing for the east?
