Things just feel different with Pruitt

Dobbs would cause them fits. Lets be real here. These arent very good teams Mizz, UAB & Ky) that Tennessee is beating in close games this year. Now, I think the talent is better than they are playing but facts are they are making too many careless and dumb mistakes to beat a good SEC team which is where the program needs to get to. JMO
I would say Butch's 2016 was his beat team You do remember South Carolina (a HORRIBLE team) 24, Tennessee 21. Vandy 45, Tennessee 34. A win in either game sends them to SEC Championship game. Dobbs at QB. I'm not running down Dobbs, I love him, He is a great person, and is a very good QB. They did beat Florida.

So I will stand behind my statement.
 
Football IQ time people. Butch won games on the basis of having an amazing amount of generational athletic talent, not out of any coaching he did. Dobbs, Kamara, Hurd, Evan Berry, Cam Sutton? Those guys won games *in spite of* Botch, not because of him. Watching any Botch coached games that went down to the wire, did you have any confidence? I didn't. Watching Pruitt's teams? Goal line stands to preserve the win? Botch's teams never would have accomplished that. Any wins by Botch I attribute to the players. Wins by Pruitt I attribute to the players as well as the coaches.
I get it, last season and early this season, JG was struggling. I think he was still learning the offense. But his turnaround has been nothing short of what Kiffen did with Crompton. JG is playing lights out, the offense looks good, the defense looks good, and this team has a puncher's chance against anyone.
 
I pointed that out in this thread. Doesn't matter. It was still early in the rebuild/culture change.

Well, Saban lost to UAB in 2000, the week before they beat Tennessee in Tiger Stadium in OT. The next year, 2001, he won the SEC. At Bama, he went 12-0 in his second year losing only to NC Florida in SECCG. Stop trying to compare Pruitt to Saban. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Not accurate.

Florida won the East at 6-2.

We still had a chance after losing to USCe because Florida still had to make up their game with LSU.

Florida had clinched the East & we were playing for the Sugar Bowl by the time we got to Vandy.

We would become Champio.....
