Pruitt's "17 points" remark

[ShoalCreekVol]

When Pruitt said that today about not trying to only score 17 points, it got me thinking. Time to look back at scoring during his tenure here:

He's coached 32 games here.

Against FBS opponents, his offense scored over 30 points TWICE
(third one was only 31 b/c of HT's pick six)

Also twice they've only scored single digits. (7 and 3)

His team has scored over 40 points ONE TIME (included above)

However...TWELVE times they've scored 17 or less.

Pruitt's teams are statistically as likely to score single digits against an FBS opponent as they are to score over 30.

His O averages 20 points per game vs FBS teams.

For the most part you need a good O to win now days. His teams can’t score, and his teams don’t win.

Below .500 at 15-17 while playing 7 non power 5 teams.........not good.

Hell, Butch’s and even Dooley’s teams put up points with more consistency.

Chaney and Dooley teamed up to light up the scoreboard. I mean, of course NATURALLY we had Sunseri's defense then so we still couldn't win, but we had points to give for real.

Pruitt is an idiot.

Jeremy Pruitt is very much disliked by the fanbase.

Easy to see Pruitt is the problem. He continues to keep Chaney from the pass offense he prefers while continuing to start JG.

Even the Defensive Line he is coaching is under performing.

I'm on record that we should fire this guy and go get one of the proven coaches before they are gone.

JP will never be the answer

Which games are you referring to? There were two NOTs in the USCe game last year.

Right, they were humming with Bray, Hunter and CP, scored 50+ and still lost thanks to that Defense

Both of them had a QB who other teams had to account for...Bray/Dobbs.

Now we have a QB the other team can count on.

2019 SC was 41
2020 SC was 31 & MO was 35

I was thinking about HT's pick 6 in the 2020 SC game

The game has changed now.

You need an explosive offense that can put up points.

Why can’t Pruitt understand this is beyond me.

Jeremy Pruitt is very much disliked by the fanbase.

If he was starting HB all this time, he would get a pass from me even if we lost the games. At least he was looking ahead to next year.

His stubborn, idiotic stance on playing JG is the reason he's lost the fanbase

JG = losing games

Because he's a stupid Gump.

Pruitt has had THREE years to fix the QB problem. Three years!!

The ONLY stat that counts.

I am beginning to sense from your posts that you don't like our coach.

 

[orangerush]

Pruitt is not the answer, and the the guy who hired him is not either.

Isn't that exactly what he said?

Have I been too subtle?

Problem is that he thinks it is fixed, jg is the man to him. How much have you seen him criticize jg?? Not much, its always someone else's fault.

It has been reported that Urban Meyer's wife has been looking at real estate in Austin, TX. As per our MO, we will dilly-dally around until only the bargain-basement coaches are the only ones available.

I can see Fulmer and Pruitt sharing thoughts on how all a team needs to win is a good defense and a run game with a QB who can manage the game. Hope they see they're wrong and not just short a few pieces.
