So Auburn and Kentucky lost to our talent-less team, rather than us beating them?

So you believe that all college football players are intrinsically motivated, and the head coach isn't responsible for motivating his team to win?

Auburn quit. That was plain as day they're a team in disarray. But a win is a win and I'll take it.

Kentucky did not show up, not the Kentucky that beat Florida. We trounced Kentucky. That was great. That's back to my point about this being college football. That's why the game is played.

Now about that talent thing. Tell me who on our 2018 roster would be starting on any top 5 team? I'm waiting........

This coming from the guy posting this in another thread.

". I was referring to Pruitt dogging out all his players on National TV during the Bama game "

When he actually said.

“‘I made them one promise. We have a few guys that are playing the game the right way and doing all the right things. And I promise you that I will recruit 25 other guys that will play the right way, so we don’t have to play in another game like this.'”

People on this site value their own opinion to a cringe level. I learned a long time ago this place does not represent the common fan, or even the smartest fan. Entertaining nonetheless. I hope someday I can be as successful as all of these professional coaches, recruiters, and public speaking experts someday.

People tend to value their own opinion more than any other opinion. That's why its their opinion.

Idk. Seems more reasonable than just blindly copying someone else's opinion.

Just to get a hard on by coming here and stating the obvious saying none of us are coaches. Cool. You don't have an opinion in anything you haven't dedicated your entire life to. That's nice. You do you.

Was I wrong? It is hard to believe that you are still trying (with all your might) to defend this boneheaded decision by Pruitt.

So by that logic, if Auburn quit, and Kentucky didn't show up, do you consider those garbage wins by a UT devoid of real talent?

Since when do we need a top-5 team to be competitive against the likes of USCe and Vanderbilt?

Did Auburn quit before the game, because we beat them from the start.
Kentucky showed up, we shut down Benny Snell and thats really all they have.

The commonality between those two was that the are very one dimensional teams and Pruitt knew our d could stop them. So my guess he was willing to open the offense more because he knew we would do well on defense.
To me, he should have stuck with those type of offensive game plans in all the games and we would have performed much better, or at least looked like we were trying on offense.

So was he not referring to the players with that statment? Maybe thing will change when we recruit better cheerleaders or something+ no, wait...he did say players. So he made a statement about the team as a whole and yeah, thats a pretty pathetic thing for a coach to do.
Don't worry, I get that to some any criticism of the great Jeremy Pruitt is about like walking into a Baptist Church and claiming that Jesus Christ isnt real.

Yeah, that's just flat out false.

“‘I made them one promise. We have a few guys that are playing the game the right way and doing all the right things. And I promise you that I will recruit 25 other guys that will play the right way, so we don’t have to play in another game like this.'”

Pathetic is purposely taking something someone says and twisting it to fit your narrative.

Congratulations on that success I suppose.

If you can read and have a basic understanding of the English language then yes, you were wrong.

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?

Your right, we can and do have enough talent to beat an Auburn and Kentucky when they play like crap and not enough talent to beat a USCe and Vanderbilt when they play above their talent and we play below. Wait you just proved his point.

You never quit do you? I consider this '18 team and all the talent from past years' recruiting to be VERY OVERRATED and overall not really all that talented aside from a very few players. The win/loss record doesn't lie and like I said no-one on that 2018 roster starts on any team in the playoff. And did you not read what I said about us winning 5 games when most people expected another 4 win season? We improved. We overachieved. As far as SC and Vandy are concerned they currently own us. We need something better than what we have to be competitive against them you talk about them with that 90's air of superiority. You need to get over that. The SC loss hurt but those guys laid down and quit in the Vandy game that is unacceptable.

I think Pruitt is coming down with a bad case of Jeff Fisheritis. "Who needs touchdowns when you can field goal kick your way into a championship."

Yeah they're overrated that's why I hired one for 1.2 million dollars because at that time I didn't know they were overrated but now I do. They're overrated that's why every FBS team has one.

Did you actually read the quote in context? Evidently not because that's not what he said. His point was that with some teams the OC is overrated because the talent is exceptional. That same OC may not be as successful with lesser talent. Hence why recruiting was more important for us right now. He wanted the press conference to be about early signing, not the OC.

So, from your vast background in Div I Football, how does having a OC give you a competitive advantage? if your HC is good enough to do both the jobs........and I believe CJP can. I respect him for not following the path that Fans think he should. This guy is comfortable in what he knows, and if he says he doesn't need an OC........then he doesn't, plain a simple. If a Defense Minded Coach, who has to know just about every type of Offense Scheme, tells you that a OC is overrated..........then he pretty much knows more that anyone on this blog.

TF? Not even sure if you are on drugs or something. You think cjp can be the hc, dc, and oc?? lol you have really bought in! And if you dont know how having an elite oc may be a competitive advantage, I really cant help you...jesus christ

He never said "offensive coordinators are overrated". Some of you can't comprehend what you're reading you just skim quickly and see only what you want to see. OP's post is basically fake news. Read what the man said and let it sink in:

What Jeremy Pruitt said after day one of the Early Signing Period


On the offensive coordinator search...
“I’d rather talk about recruiting right now. The offensive coordinator sometimes is overrated. There’s some of these teams that it doesn’t matter who the offensive coordinator is, based off talent or lack there of. The most important thing right now is recruiting. We’ll worry about that later.”

except 1 small problem...WE ARENT ONE OF THOSE TEAMS...

His stats. I studied CSU's DB production, not good and did not improve them over 3 years. Not known as a great recruiter either, but I'm sure he'll try his best for ut.

another way of saying it...
we can and do have enough talent to beat an Auburn and Kentucky when they play like crap and not enough talent to beat a USCe and Vanderbilt when we get out coached.

See how that works
