Pruitt's Anger

Not challenging the td fumble is completely on Pruitt as is not letting the back up qb in the game. The starter either can’t see the field or just can’t throw the ball on time.

You all need to learn how football works. JG played a good game. Yeah missed some throws he should make but he made some plays out of nothing too. This isn't Madden. You can't throw deep every play.

Lets start with a real DC. Being HC and DC with no HC experience didnt work for Derek Mason, it sure and f***k aint working for you JP either.

Well, if you check the scoreboard you'll find Derek Mason won yesterday against the HOGS. Too many mistakes by the players; penalties; o-line; defense weak. We need more 5 star players. recruiting has always, and will remain the lifeblood of any program.

well if you would check the history, Mason eventually hired a DC and then they began winning. Including yesterday

here's a little reading to bring you up to speed
Why Vanderbilt’s Derek Mason gave up play-calling duties...

Pruitt and his coaches were out coached tonight, Champ made the necessary adjustments. Talent level is close enough where coaching makes the difference. But, what do you expect? Pruitt is a rookie, of course a guy with Champs experience will make a difference. Every HC makes rookie mistakes. They grow from it, expecting Pruitt to be a better HC in year five.

At this point about half the defense needs to be benched in favor of of players that will at least give better effort.

Which half of the defense? Our starting DBs can't cover or tackle and the backups are even worse. How many times are we going to get beat in games with long passes...our DBs are slow and usually out of position.

that kneel out going into half was chicken ****. I was really surprised at him for doing that, because he has impressed me as a risk taking, non chicken **** type coach. Further, I think you have to play the psychological game there - Muschamp calls timeout trying to get a stop/get ball back, we are moving ball, make him sorry for thinking he could stop us/get ball back before half.

That's my biggest complaint with the coaching last night. We had the ball at the 40 with about 45 seconds and a timeout. We need about 30 yards for a decent shot at 3. At this point we had been moving the ball fairly well up and down the field. He chose to kill the clock. I don't get it.

Who said throw deep every play? He is late on throws and can’t see open receivers or read blitzes. He’s a good qb but you have to hit guys on time and see the entire field.

I remember a game last week were the starter couldn’t move the ball at all. I’m sure it was the o lines fault but then the back up came in and scored back to back tds. Read coverages and threw on time so of course he got no playing time today.

Hard to read anything when LBs come throught the A gap like its a turnstile. That's on the OL. If anyone should be embarrassed its them. Mainly 51 because he's a senior and still can't hold his own. Press man and blitzing means very little time to throw with this line. Therefore you do a lot of quick game in the passing game. There's a reason we ran 30 screens.

The defense needs an ear full after that performance.

Agreed. Offense wasn’t spectacular and JG needs an earful for holding on to the ball for so long. The O line had a good game until the 4th quarter and the false starts killed our drives.

Back to QB though...

Soapbox time: I mean I’m no expert but if you go thru your progressions and nothing is available, you don’t have much time to think about anything else esp with our O line. Tuck it or throw it away. I mean immediately. Call it the instinct. In my opinion that needs to be taught on Day 1 in college.

Also those refs must’ve been wearing maroon underwear because there was some blatantly overlooked PIs. They had no answer for Calloway or JJ. Or Palmer! And I don’t think any team going forward will either if we can fix this QB situation we have.

But I digress...

Defense lost that game. No excuses on that side. The secondary tip toed on blitz and weren’t aggressive in coverage. I’m more worried about the second level going forward. Think about with how Drew Lock has historically ripped us, Vandy’s offense has been strong and balanced. And Kentucky, well, they’re just having a Cinderella season. I actually hope they win out.

A game we could have won but didn't. A lot of similar problems the last 4 games. Improvements from week to week are not consistent. You have an improvement one week then you take two steps back. Learning curve for coaches, non consistent players (sometimes), talent but no depth, a lot of 3 downs converted this week, made some yards on 1st down. Now the defense runs backwards.

Keep pluggin away. Work to get the ox out of ditch. It's a big ox.

Go Big O

Not really. I did see Pruitt get in the faces of some players and it looked like the f word may have been used more than once. I'm not saying that the player didn't deserver to be talked too but it might have been more appropriate to let the position coach or coordinator do it rather than the head coach loose his cool. I'm sure there a different opinions but the last head coach I saw lose his cool with players like that was woody hayes.
