I never bought it either. That is the kind of crap put out by idiots! They would have you believe, Pruitt was willing to post 4 -L-s, keeping his better qb on the bench, in the hopes that, maybe, next year we'd be able to recruit a HS qb (a good one no doubt)? In all fairness one of the 4, Maurer started.Never bought the narrative that Maurer was sitting because they were scared Bailey would walk.
Not really, everyone just wants everyone else to agree with what they said. As I told the other guy winning 9 games builds some equity and hope for the future.He went 6-7 his 2nd full year. Worse than any season under Bowden. You're just being obtuse at this point.
Firing a guy you felt like was a good coach but not great which is where you want to be and hiring your WRs coach was a bold move. I'd hardly call it serious.I mean how they got rid of Bowden. I think Dabo had a chance to prove his worth that year, winning 4 games.
From what I understand, Bowden had lost the team.....that is what I was talking about in saying Clemson acted promptly, not records or anything else. They gave Dabo a chance to prove himself as interim and he did.Firing a guy you felt like was a good coach but not great which is where you want to be and hiring your WRs coach was a bold move.

It would get ripped to shreds here. I'd be curious how that 6 - 7 second year would floated here.

The OP states, "We won't compete for the SEC title next year, but I suspect we'll take a big step forward". What does that mean in real terms? In Football terms, W-L? How many wins? How many SEC wins? Right now we are 1-4, if we win Saturday, we will have increased our winning by 100%!! Or, up until now we had lost 80% of the games we've played, but we've really turned it around, we have gone from 80% loss rate to 66% loss rate (2-4)!! The spinners can come up with crap, but without a solid number in the win column, that is all you have spin. When you state you expect to sneak into a bowl game next year, will that be with a 6-6 record, or the now popular 5-7?
This team is much more about a QB who has been an absolute disaster in yr 2. In two key indicators he dropped from top 10 nationally, to 40-something and 100+. Perhaps you noticed the difference in offensive play last Sat?This team is a disaster in his second year.
Again, this is much more a QB regression issue. The two big early head coach indicators fans love to tout are early upsets and yr 2 jump. In yr 1 we beat two top 15 teams. In yr 2 our QB regresses across the board despite much improved OL, makes poor decisions, becomes less accurste, can’t score TDs, and gives the other team points thru turnovers. The QB affects the whole team. With ‘18 JG we are 3-2 at minimum.Thanks for the correction on msu. Teams still improved in year 2. If we are probably looking at a 2-3 win season, almost never covering the spread....do you know of a coach with that type of regression in year two and went on to be a successful coach?
Butch steadily improved toward winning 9 in years 3&4. For fired yr 5 but calls for his job started early in yr 3. Fans are not rational.Not really, everyone just wants everyone else to agree with what they said. As I told the other guy winning 9 games builds some equity and hope for the future.
I mean, I get it for the next few months (provided the team stays in the same path) we will all continue to create these arguments on either side. Unfortunately for all of us, all signs point to Pruitt not being a good head coach. Our only hope is that we can recruit our way out of this. Dont know where that has ever been a plan for success, but hey, maybe Tennessee will be the first.
But of course, the off season will be here soon and we can be awesome again.
As for the offense against uga, yeah it looked different for a very short time. We like to contribute the ga st loss with tennessee skeepwalking through it. Could it be that uga did the same to us? Because once the woke up, the offense was completely ineffective. It too small of a sample size to tell right now, do i dont know.This team is much more about a QB who has been an absolute disaster in yr 2.

Good lord did you just out yourself as someone who knows absolutely zero about college football?
Georgia State is on the coaches. But not BYU. One bad play cost us.As for the offense against uga, yeah it looked different for a very short time.

Turns out those calling for CBJ to be fired early on where correct. I waiting as well because of the win total improvement. Some people see issues in the locker room as an indication the coach needs to go. I think that was the first problem with CBJ.
Its not all pinned on qb regression. If we were 3-2, with loses to uga and uf, most would be ok. But we are not, and those first two loses are on the coaching staff, especially the 1st.
As far as recruiting for success, of course you need good recruiting to improve. But that has to be coupled with good coaching. The coaching right now is not good, and there is no argument to show that it is. We can stick our heads in the sand and act like it is, but that doesnt make it true. I also understand that some just want to be positive, nothing wrong with but again it doesnt make it true. Add to that, even if we have a great recruiting class we will still be near the bottom of the sec. So to review my stance; good recruiting + poor coaching = not likely to be successful. If the coaches were getting the most out of what they have, if they were id be much more hopeful for the future.
