This is why I dont think anyone is making knee jerk reactions as far as firing coaches. It seems many teams that should be performing at a much higher level from last year are hurt from this year’s protocols and the missed practices among other things. LSU and Penn State are prime examples of that, maybe Oklahoma as well.
While I do think Pruitt is showing trouble beyond this year being an anomaly, it’s a possibility the lack of practices and scrimmages have really hurt the team. His stubbornness, specifically QB, is making it way worse than it should be though. If he’s able to learn from this and improve as a HC, great. If not, we’re screwed next year as well.
