Reality is we played quite possibly the best D or DL we’ve faced in years. Our OL just didn’t show up. Couldn’t establish a run and they made adjustments at the half to rattle JG. But for any one of you to be blaming Pruitt or Chaney is certifiably crazy. There are threads with fire Chaney and loser Pruitt. You fans doing this are the embarrassing ones. Good grief....

Yes, we couldn’t possibly place any blame on coaching when a bunch of 5* players with plenty of starting experience get absolutely manhandled..

Agreed.

1- Nobody's getting fired any time soon.
2- We are building, there is visible improvement. Anyone that was expecting a win versus hoping for one is delusional. Pull for the team, sure, but we ain't bama, ga, or fla.... yet.
3- JG made plenty of mistakes, Georgia forced many of them late, I dont think any QB on our roster would have been a world beater today.
4- This team is capable of beating anyone, as we saw in the first half. We aren't quite to the point we can play a complete game, at any position. Players are developing, won't be long.
5- See #1.

Reality is that we are a middle of the pack SEC team that now can have a decent expectation of be beating the teams we should and will get blown out by our big three rivals each year. Now this is the improvement from being a bottom feeder we were a few years ago, but back to the glory days we are not and maybe never will be.

Hard to argue with that until we upset one of the big three.

But....

You gotta crawl, then walk, then run, then sprint.

We crawled out of the Butch Jones hole.
We walked through the last bit of last year and beginning of this year.
We will run when we beat one of the big three.
Then.... we will be off to the races.

We live and die by JG. He’s great until he makes a mistake and then it snowballs because he can’t process it. Why can’t so many on this site not see that. It’s the difference between great QBs and the rest. The great ones make mistakes but then come back out like it never happened. JG can’t get past it and turns into a nut job cluster f.

The reality is I thought we had closed the gap quite a bit on UGA. But nope. 2-3 years away still, that is if our recruiting doesn't nosedive after that embarrassing display

Stupidity reigns after a loss on here...and is still widespread after some wins. It was a bad loss and the team isn't top 10 quality yet. Not a surprise. Only surprise was how poorly the o-line played.

We were not too 10 to begin with. Still believe we are top 20 at this point. Believe we can take Alabama.

Firing Pruitt or Chaney is the absolute last thing we need right now. But both of them share plenty of blame for this loss. JG has shown he just cannot get it done. I think the offense is handcuffed because of him. Ergo, Chaney is somewhat handcuffed.

Here is a question to ask, is there any SEC team that legitmately fears, even remotely, JG as a passer?

The reality is it seems coaches always make adjustments against us at the half and we rarely handle it

Recruiting wont nosedive. But we just lost any chance at Mims, Green and Mondon. They are likely UGA bound.

Only things I saw wrong this afternoon was
(1) Online couldn't keep anyone out of the backfield and couldn't open up holes for the run game
(2) JG couldn't hold onto the ball
(3) defense couldn't wrap up a tackle
(4) Secondary kept getting their coverage assignments confused

Other than that, we were right there with them.

The reality is we are where we are, and we aren’t gonna move much. And we can’t change coaches for multiple reasons. This is what 3 bad and one mediocre coaching hire gets you.

It will Ben many, many years before we are relevant again.

The defenses both played pretty similar. The only difference between UTs offense and GAs offense today was QB play. Tenn had decent success stopping the run and got some pressure. Look at how that 4th stringer did. He got the ball off quick and make the throws with no turnovers.
JG held the ball too long and took sacks and didn't take care of the ball. Massive momentum swing in just a few minutes. QB play was the only difference.

Stupidity lies with whoever coaches the line and starts JG. How do you not have another qb ready at this point. Expecting that "this" if going to be the year he turns is on is stupidity.

Penalties because of lack of discipline was a problem. That is on all the coaches.
Pruitt is a guy to take us where we need but he is mishandling the Qb situation. Maybe he will see the light sooner or later.
Who primarily responsible for coaching the Qb’s and making the decision who starts ? Chaney or Pruitt? Does Pruitt rubber stamp Chaney’s recommendation on the Qb. It’s not working

Chaney playcalling in the 1st qtr and 2nd half was terrible. Even some of the trick plays were just not executed well. Georgia did very well in executing some of their trick plays.

So the coaches go out there and perform? We have basically all 5 stars across the OL. They just have to come ready to battle 4 qtrs and didn’t. You say that about JG and were prob singing his praises after him dropping 2 dimes in the first half.

Sorry but the lack of blocking up front and running game handcuffed Chaney and no QB we have on the roster could have came in vs that D. I will agree some screens vs their rush may have given us a diff twist though
