He got a nice resume booster with that "Offensive Coordinator" title at WKU with Brohm.

Ummmm coaching?

Coaching causes a guy to fumble? Hmm....

A player not doing what he has been told to do is what causes turnovers.

 

[LosingFaithVol]

Why is it never the coaches fault with you people?

Give it time, they will come around to our way of thinking.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Hate to be the 1st, but Butch Jones teams looked better than Pruitts

They didn’t the 2nd half of last year

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Hard to type and drink and cry at the same time Lol

 

[photovol]

Doomed? I'm not sure, are you?
The future is just not what it used to be!

 

[ConantheVolbarian]

Uh-oh, you posted something logical & sensible. Expect a barrage of vitriol from VN "expertise".

And for that matter, the defense has played solid too with the exception of two big plays. This game falls on the offense shooting itself in the foot.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Well that’s a positive

 

[MAUSERWERKE]

There's no reason to think Helton is a capable offensive coordinator

I don’t how anyone can conclude anything about the quality of the coaches. If you turn the ball over every other play it makes it impossible for coaching to overcome.

 

[pcvols81]

Good job d

 

[pbxvol]

We will suck in football for our lifetime! Get used to it

 

[rcrrcr]

we hit them on line, they still gain 3 yds.

 

[firestorm]

Great play defense someone lit a fire and are playing inspired.

 

[zydane47]

I agree on some level. I mean, I know Pruitt emphasizes not turning over the ball, but we weren't prepared and ready to play today.

But it’s Florida, these players shouldn’t need a coach to get them ready to play this game, they should’ve been ready last Sunday.

At some point you have to start questioning the heart of each one of these players, if I were the head coach I’d make every damn position open starting the moment the clock strikesall zeroes.

Each one of these players need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves if this is what they really want to do.

 

[give_him 6]

Well, what do you know? Something that worked.

 

[Freak]

Hey, a sack. Woo!

 

[The Original Fade]

Want to hear something really depressing? We have outgained Florida on offense. And it’s 33-6 them

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Its called preparation and fundamentals. Its not swamp gas causing this.

Lol oh that's right because Banks didn't get in trouble for fumbling on the one last game? Oh wait..... He did.... Yet these players keep trying to stretch it out for no reason.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I remember a time when we were not goingbto get a NFL team as they thought would be overshadowed by the VOLS. Now i dont watch the NFL very often. So this is hard for me to say. But if we see more of this for this season and next. They might have to move the Titans to Knoxville to ever get the use out of Neyland.

 

[checkthetape]

We finally run some game and blitz and guess what?? We have success

 

[Nationdom]

There we go! Need a TD

 

['Boro-vol]

We're 5 years and a coaching change from any kind of relevance.

Anybody have Les Miles number? We may need that.

 

[ShoalCreekVol]

Poll time: Should I finish watching the game, or walk upstairs and just have my wife kick me in the nuts a few times? Which one would be less painful?

Just a few times? Take that deal. Before she changes her mind and makes you watch the game.

 

[volgr]

To be fair you have no idea if Pruitt is a good HEAD coach though. That’s why it should of been crucial to hire a proven HC, pay up no matter how much it would of costed.

He is widely respected in coaching circles. Dude is one of the best D coordinators, he will figure out the head job.

 

[firestorm]

Ok Vols get the 6.

Also Gators defense throw your damn helmets.
