You should listen to Pruitt's presser. He's not used to being around this little talent. I like his honesty.
It's pretty interesting from this point onwards:



Takeaways.. There were PLENTY of positions on this team where we were 1 deep. And, a strong and determined pitch towards recruiting. I think he's gonna start culling the herd.

Also.. Not making excuses, but it'd be interesting in a couple of years to take inventory on where some of the quarterbacks we played against this year end up in the NFL draft.

Fromm
Tua (whatever his last name is)
Lock
Grier
I'd even throw Vandy's qb in that mix. Hard to rebuild when you have one of the hardest schedules in the nation.

What you call honesty, I call "covering his ass". He wasnt going to go to the presser and say "Our talent level is similar to Mizzou and Vandy. The reason we got our butts beat must be coaching....."

I believe him. Think about it. Why would you keep Drew Richmond on the field this whole season. Nothing on the shelf.
Some guys you can't coach up. They either don't have it between the ears, or they don't have it physically. Doug Mathews made a good point a couple of weeks ago. His analogy was this.. He can't dunk a basketball. No matter how much he practices jumping, he will never be able to dunk. There is a genetic ceiling with a lot of these guys.

I know we have limitations but we looked far more competent against teams with far superrior talent than we faced the past 2 weeks (UGA, Auburn. USC). It is my belief that what has happened the past 2 weeks are far more an indication on coaching than lack of talent. What has happened is with 2 months of film, teams have been able to exploit our weaknesses while we have been unable to adjust our planning to cover up ours. Thats one reason why we have consistently struggled at beginning and ending of halves. Coach Pruitt deserved credit for the efforts against Auburn and UK. He and his staff deserves a large amount of blame for the abysmal performances against UF Vandy and Mizzou.
