So if Pruitt stays as coach....what are reasonable expectations next year.....Especially if this year is 2-11????

just looking at the schedule I would say 6-6 with a bowl bid..so 7-6. Not seeing too many wins on the 2020 schedule.
  • Sept. 5 — Charlotte
  • Sept. 12 — at Oklahoma
  • Sept. 19 — Furman
  • Sept. 26 — Florida
  • Oct. 3 — Missouri
  • Oct. 10 — at South Carolina
  • Oct. 24 — Alabama
  • Oct. 31 — at Arkansas
  • Nov. 7 – Kentucky
  • Nov. 14 — at Georgia
  • Nov. 21 — Troy
  • Nov. 28 — at Vanderbilt

I voted that Pruitt will be the head coach, but he doesn't deserve to be. With that schedule, as sad as it is to say, right now I see one likely win on it, and Furman played Georgia State better than we did, so I'm not sold on it. A better Tennessee only beat Charlotte 14-3 last year. Troy is a much better Sun Belt team than GSU.

I'll be generous and say 4-8

First I think its a dumb poll. Second some of the choices are crazy since they are currently active coaches. Who in their right mind thinks 15 million to get rid of the current staff, plus the payments we still owe Butchie boy, plus the cost of any buyout of any active coach.....plus a much higher salary than the ones we currently have if you think a great coach will come. So instead of thinking 15 million for a new staff, I think you would have to consider 20 to 25 given the rabid fan base we have in expecting instant championships as quick as instant oatmeal. So let's add all these numbers up and see just where the money would come from. I'm not convinced anyone would pony up with the money to make a change to a 6 year contract that is only in the second year. Just my simple opinion.

Man we owe OU a beat down. Assuming we have a serviceable QB a i see 9-3. The defense has improved a lot and the D line should be caught up finally next year. We will be loaded in the secondary and at LB. The offensive line will be one of the better in the conference. Rb and wr will be adequate enough to win 8-9

Exactly, we are paying Butch 200k a month until early to mid 2021 and he has done nothing to help offset this buyout i.e. get a better paying job other than the 35k Bama pays him. Add those numbers to the $15M due to this staff if fired this year.
