Ramel Keyton
Eric Gray
Jaylen McCollough

To'oto' would be the only one, Wright and Morris came in as raw talent last year and have struggled badly this year. Keyton is a non factor. Eric Gray is a specialist. McCollough wouldn't see the field at any of the major schools in this conference. Crouch is playing out of position and still doesn't grasp the LB position because he has a terrible position coach that has no business coaching in this conference. Yeah I said Nedimyer isn't a good football coach

I agree. If they have a "normal" spring and fall camp, and the team is not notably better in 2021, then he has to go. We should see Fulmer "retire" as well. I am not going to speak one way or the other as to my confidence of that happening because it doesn't matter.

I will say that I don't think the team is as far away as lot of people on the board think it is. I believe the defense would play (and has played) much better if/when the offense could compete in time of possession and actually score enough to keep the team in the games. The offense's issues are obviously manifested in the QB play, but I am not sure if QB play is dictating philosophy or vice versa. It is a chicken or the egg sort of situation.

Of course, all of this falls on the shoulders of the HC, and he has yet to prove anything. But, I disagree with those that see the program in total disfunction.

Buckle up for an 0-8 SEC record in 21 if JP returns. This team has a cancer that started at the top and spread. They don’t mind losing and they quit, the coaches and players alike. JP is at best a poor head coach who makes emotional decisions. At worst, he is unstable emotionally which would account for the JG fiasco and lack of team and assistant coaches focus and direction.

2020 has been a crapshoot with COVID. Hiring is a crapshoot no matter how good you think they are - see Harbaugh, Herman, and Frost. If Pruitt can work out an offensive identity we know we’ll have a good defense (eventually). Surely as he gets more experienced the administration part of being a HC will get easier. Curious to see the rest of the season, how recruiting finishes, and his offseason moves. Hopefully even if COVID is still around they’ll figure out how to have spring practice and summer workouts so this will be the only asterisk year. Pruitt could still end up being a good coach for us.

Denial is a powerful drug my friend. I hope you get the help you need before it is too late

They will not go 0-8 in the SEC next year if Pruitt returns. The rest of your statement seems speculative at best.

I am making no claims whatsoever that JP is going to turn this thing around, but I do think there is enough there that it could be turned around pretty quickly.

No question Pruitt is on the hot seat. I would really like him to do something differently to prove he can adjust. I truly don't understand why he won't shake things up. All he is doing is proving that he can't get it done and failed at UT as a head coach.

I truly don't believe he is on the hotseat with anyone but us fans. I believe Fulmer gave him his extension and is still whispering sweet nothings in his ear about being his coach. I think they will both ride the ship down into the abyss together. It's painful to say, but he's likely here through 2021 and maybe 2022...if the President doesn't intervene.

How much proof do you need that Pruitt can't get it done?

I am not looking for proof because I am not the one making the decision. From my point of view, the question is not "should he be fired this year?" but rather "will he be fired this year?" I don't believe that he will be, but if he is, that's fine with me too. I support the coaches and players wearing the T.

I agree Pruitt isn't getting fired this year, should be but he won't be.

I agree, but if recruiting tanks, then it's gonna be a big hole to dig out of. They really need to show some life to finish out this year.

This is a good post, if you take the emotions out of our current situation. Things do not look good right now, but all is not lost - yet.

I do think we will have some more tough times with COVID, but they should be able to have some form of Spring practice, even if it is put off by a month or two.
