Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Do y'all think if Pruitt had played Bailey or Shrout sooner, we'd be more forgiving, or re-directing our anger towards our inability to cover slants?

Yes but he kept sticking his finger in everyone's face telling us how much better JG was. He chose to die on that hill so f him

I said after the KY game that this season would be forgiven if he just played bailey the rest of the way. A lot of people said similar things. But that’s not what happened. Pruitt continued to show how incompetent he is. He’s gotta go

This feels A LOT like FSU when the boosters went rogue. Outsiders thought "surely they have a great plan to make such a decision". NOPE.

It made zero sense to fire him days before ESD. Same thing for us. Always wait until after ESD or a month before it.

Seeing a playbook isn't far fetched.

AC’s mother could say she loved him and he’d need it genetically verified that she was his actual mother and the statement to be notarized in the presence of a court of law before he’d believe it

Florida would lose their mind if SEC canceled our game against A&M.

You almost make me wish it would happen then. I love when they're in misery.

His single biggest con would be that despite his reputation, he actually has a poor track record at developing QBs. Gus only has big years in the first season of a transfer QB. In particular, the QBs that he has recruited and tried to develop out of high school (Johnson and Nix) suck and play like they are insanely poorly coached.

Gus is like the opposite of that cliche that people say about reputations. Reputations supposedly take a lifetime to build and can be tarnished really quickly, right? Gus built a reputation as on offensive guru early in his career on the basis of a couple of seasons, and that reputation has persisted for years despite a ton of lackluster offenses in the proceeding years.

Please stop saying "suck"

What people don't like about Gus is that he doesn't throw the ball all over the field, that's it. Bo in year 1 won 9 games, Marshall transfers in and wins 20 games in 2 seasons, he missed on Jeremy Johnson which no one saw coming the guy looked ready in the first two years when he got mop up duty but wasn't ready to be the main guy, still Auburn went 7-6 and 8-5 during those 2 down seasons before Jarret Stidham showed up.

I mean if you don't want run heavy RPO then just say that.

Bo Nix, Sean White, and Jeremy Johnson haven't had good numbers but still collectively have gone 30-19 while the offense averaged 29.4ppg. That's underachieving, but hardly sucking I -wish- we had that same 4 year stretch to complain about right now.

I heard about this, but I am not sure it was confirmed. Did Pruitt really say that Harrison held the ball too long on the fumble and that was the reason he pulled him?

Suck.

If he makes a QB change in the 3rd quarter of the Georgia game or starts anybody but JG against Kentucky then I don't think it ever would've gotten this bad. Each week Pruitt said "Jarrett gives us our best shot to win" and JG would trot out and make devastating mistakes, all without getting pulled. We had 3 bye weeks this year. There was no excuse to not play someone else at QB earlier in the season.

Can we just not with this, please? We don’t recruit the same players.

 

[Adam2014]

yes

I mean... we saw JG do this at least 1,069 times during his career...

No doubt in my mind

Looks like a post you'd see here, just change some words and it fits perfectly. Lol

 

[Volsfaninva917]

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn who just asked Pruitt if he would be back next year lol

It's pretty far fetched...

Lol at Vandy getting serious about football really impacting us. That’s good for them, they should get serious. It will have zero impact on us overall.

We’re just looking for stuff to worry about at this point.
