He also basically said that hiring an offensive coordinator isn't a priority. What do you guys make of that?

Are you referring to his press conference today? If so, he stated that asst coaches move often and most players commit to the head coach. He never said the OC wasn’t important and never said it was an overrated position. I didn’t hear him say it wasn’t a priority either. The priority was on recruiting. In the dead period, I am sure he will spend more time in the hire. He also said the lack of an OC did not impact recruiting and they filled the recruiting headcount with another staffer. Did I miss more questions from the reporters, because I only heard one question on the topic?

Where's the deflection? You gave no counter argument, but rather parroted GaVol's sentiment.

I asked you if he was wrong. You gave an answer and I simply pointed out that it was a better argument than your assinine response to him. You came back with another assinine response instead. It's not my argument to make. I simply agree with him based on the context.

So youve read a post fron me indicating that I want pruitt gone? Can you point me to one of them?

No. But please tell us more about your only dig against him was in regards to his comments about players during the season. None of which have been identified.

The 1st half of 2016 was the facts I based that on. It’s been a while since a grown man has called me cute. Thanks. I think.

While I'm happy to help your flagging self-esteem, you should work on your reading comprehension, or it's going to get you in trouble.

Also, you have to own your Butch-love, cause it was way past 2016 that you were defending him...

His plan is working. He is only in year 5. He said early on that it takes 6-7 years to build the program.

5 years in almost everybody wants to pull the plug and run him out of town.

It's his conservative nature that has him in hot water. Very similar to when Fulmer and Chavis got called out by the UCLA coach that beat us back in 2008(My brother got me tickets. Everyone should swim in the Pacific Ocean as an adult.). Still they didn't change..

The players can still save his job.

Win out and he won't be fired.

That's what I want.

Go Vols!

Beat the gumps

He is wrong. You can't have it both ways, we can't have enough talent to beat "awesome" Auburn and Kentucky, then not have enough talent to beat a mediocre-at-best South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.

So which is it, are we devoid of talent and beat Auburn and Kentucky because they played us poorly, or did Pruitt get out-coached by USCe and Vanderbilt even though we have superior talent?

Out-coached by SC, out-efforted by Vandy.

It's college football and that's why they play the games. Teams that have talent dont lay down and quit. That doesn't in any way take away from flashes of what could have been that we saw in the SC, UK, or Auburn game. It is what it is. The team had no depth, talent was thin, and some of those guys just flat out QUIT. That ain't on Pruitt.

If a coach has an o-line that plays like a sieve and cannot or will not block/protect,it doesn't matter who calls plays.If you have less than 2 seconds after dropping back to pass,ylou will never have a deep ball thrown.If your running backs are hit as soon as they receive the hand-off,you will not gain any yards.At that time it doesn't matter if you have a 1.2million dollar OC,or a minimum wage OC.Pruitt is correct in,if you don't upgrade your players,an oc is not important.

Not sure I'm overly fired up about a guy who flamed out at USC and cant keep a job coaching Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.

AND could only scheme to get 6 TDs for Julio Jones (arguably one of the top 3 WR in the league) in 14 games. Didn't have a TD the first 8 games! I'm not impressed. And, with other potential OC's available, I would be FURTHER depressed about our prospects if Sark becomes our OC.

You don't get to play the "no talent" card only when it benefits your defense of the coach. We either had enough talent to compete against the likes of ranked Auburn and Kentucky, and as such should have been able to compete with that same talent against Vanderbilt, or those wins against Auburn and Kentucky were more about them playing poorly against our "no-talent" team.

So which is it? Were we a no-talent team that lucked up in those wins against Auburn and Kentucky?

It's almost like some of you can't accept the fact that Pruitt is going to make mistakes, and make some poor decisions as a first-time head coach, and you'll throw the entire team under the bus to defend him from any criticism; it's quite bizarre.

So far I agree. It's a little underwhelming. Going to be a slower build than Jones had at this rate.

I disagree with this.....Jones would get highly rated guys that Pruitt wont touch.....He recruits like they do at the NFL combine......they have to meet a certain size/speed ratio.... the ones that are highly rated are more complete football players right now.... the lower rated guys he believes he can teach them to be football players....Jones took highly rated guys even if he knew they werent players to make our class look better.

Butch-Love? I’m sure I do need to work my reading comprehension(I don’t why you mentioned that.), you might should work on your own.

I did want the Vols to win out in 2017. I want that every year. Certainly when it means a win over the gumps.

Were you one of the ones that wanted losses so Butch would get fired?

[QUOTE="CR-vol, post: 16223742, member: 74878"]I never said or implied that. Quit getting your pantys in a wad over Pruitt or anyone else saying this team lacked talent. That is the truth. It has lacked talent for many years. And Pruitt needs to tell them that. The ones with hurt feelings can transfer to a program with gentler, softer coaches. The others maybe feel a fire lit under their ***.[/QUOTE]

I knew he wouldn't win out, especially not with Alabama as the next game, and you were still espousing patience with Butch because he was only 5 years into what he said would be a 6-7 year rebuild.

You seem to have a heightened proclivity to coach-worship.

Helton said Pruitt could stand toe-to-toe with any OC so I guess that makes Pruitt overrated also
