[Chief Vol 13]

Maurer needs to be ready, him being an EE is huge

Don't hold your breath

Those were good coaching jobs and they count. But there have been bad coaching jobs and they count too.

...and predictably we are turning on the coaching staff.

No one wanted this job last fall for a reason. Doubt if we purged the coaches that the job would somehow be any more attractive to prospective coaches. This is a place where careers go to die.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

I am encouraged.

I think we got this.

Just start with a score to open the half and the game is on.

SBV, always enjoy your enthusiasm, but this team clearly has no heart today. It's sad. We have a handful of starters outta 22 that actually want to be out there.

Meanwhile, Gators finish 9-3 after going 4-7 last year.

There is an enormous void for leadership and talent. People are correct about the culture and it's going to take some real dynamic people to turn this around.

I like Pruitt but this isn't a good game. Helton hasn't impressed me much but the OL definitely limits what you can do on offense.

Stop right there. Mike leach begged for this job.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Whoever designed this stadium did not graduate from Vandy. I’m feeling Memphis state grad or southwest community

Not turning on them, just still unconvinced they’re any different than Butch’s bunch yet.

I mean... we’re not completely out of it yet, but what exactly has encouraged you? They’re @issing on our faces and we can’t stop them.

 

[VolGee4]

If Pruitt is smart he'll walk away from this mess. Even saban can't fix this program

He’s got almost 4 million reasons not to walk away. He’s got a DC waiting for him at any time.

“Mehlen”

The same people who going into the Florida game would have sworn we had better talent will now reply by saying that it’s always been obvious that Florida had a much better roster.

 

[TN404]

Switching to Four Roses Barrel Strength bourbon.....

 

[Catbone]

Literally the worst outcome possible over the last two weeks. Very well may ruin our recruiting class and put Pruitt closer to the hotseat. No excuse these last 2 weeks from the players AND the coaches!

 

[JacketVol]

I’m telling you. Pay 2mil for Jake Spavital. He’s the best in CFB right now.

He’s not stupid enough to do it. Not even for two million. Look at stoops.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Except for the fact we beat 2 ranked teams this year

And the team has regressed badly since our last win. And we still won't go bowling because this team seemingly has no desire to play in a bowl game.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Yeah, I’m not seeing it. If it were a fluky 17-0 where we’d had a bunch of turnovers giving Vandy a short field or a bunch of drops on offense kept us from scoring I’d be more convinced, but this is just a straight whuppin.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Burn it to the ground. Give all these loser upperclassmen walking papers. Team next year needs to start freshmen and sophomores just about everywhere.

 

[vol2002]

This game has not surprised me but i thought it would be a little closer...didnt expect zero fight. JG is so bad. Our line is worse and our linebackers worse still. Gonna be a looooong offseason fellas.

Yeah no offense but I’m goIng to spend it somewhere other than here. Spent too many long days on this site trying to get the inside scoop on our turnaround. I’ve discovered that you learn everything you need to know about the program on Saturdays in the fall. Appreciate the site but gotta find a better, more positive hobby!


Now I may change my tune if the second half is better

 

[chavisut]

I mean... we’re not completely out of it yet, but what exactly has encouraged you? They’re @issing on our faces and we can’t stop them.

We have 85 yards.

85

 

[RikidyBones]

I'm not going to blame the coaches. These players have the mental toughness of a dandelion. A fart through the wind makes them buckle and shatter.

 

[SpringBokVol]

We are a second half team and we are within striking distance

If Pruitt fires Helton he’ll just promote Friend to playcaller and hire a QB coach.

If you haven’t caught on, people are constant apologists for the current coach and nothing is ever the coach’s fault until after he is fired. Then everything is his fault

Sounds like Larry the Coordinator all over again.
