We are fooling ourselves...

[tampavolsfan]

If we think this HC and staff can bring us back to national relevance. I was a huge fan of the Pruitt hire, but now, with a solid body of work under his belt, I no longer think he can get it done here.

Saddened by what TN football has become.

Its very obvious in year 3. And last week should have been enough to show it too. Same UK team has 9 yards passing at half vs Missouri and losing 10-3.

Tend to agree. Year three and no improvement- we're still getting obliterated by everyone. May even say the team is regressing over last year.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Yep. Alabama is who we expected. We are way worse than we expected.

Yep agree completely

That is my point, our defense is at best average. What does Pruitt bring to the table if it isn’t a good defense?

We are still light-years behind the top tier teams in our league.

If he didn't have his job when it came time for the postgame press conference I would be so happy.

Here it is year 3 and his team has never played with effort & passion that I see out of Ark, & OM, even Missouri this year. The 8 game streak was a bunch of games that could have gone either way vs average & below average teams.

I agree. By year three, you should see drastic improvement. Especially, if you consider the new head coach has a full roster of his own players.

Pruitt will not have a "solid body of work" until he has at least 4-5 of his own recruiting classes that are 100% his. So far he has 2.

 

[BreatheUT]

I think it's becoming "crystal" clear.

Not really. At least this game. Bad as this effort is...it wins us last week’s game.

Well we're apparently light years behind Kentucky too, so what's that make us?

 

[butchna]

Is the Bama defense still too scary for another QB?

 

[CR-vol]

Wrong. Pruitt didn't throw those interceptions against Kentucky last week. You dumb fools would fire Pruitt this year and condemn us as bottom feeders for another 10 years. Give him 5 or 6 years.

 

[bpalmer28]

Agreed. The QB thing has done it for me. He seems to think he can coach like he did at Hoover and win the SEC.

My fear is that recruits will catch on abc we’ll string together back to back poor classes before moving on and that the guys who should be out QBs will move on. He’s done nothing to inspire confidence in the future.

None of that matters though. We aren’t changing coaches anytime soon.

Stop with this nonsense. Any coach that’s worth a damn doesn’t need 4-5 of his own recruiting classes to show tangible results.

 

[Flipdaddy]

I agree, was a huge Pruitt fan. I’m out. Year 3 and this? And honestly it’s not this, it’s still the Kentucky loss. If he had picked a new quarterback to start, maybe it could’ve sparked something with the players. First off, you don’t go hurry with our fattys up front. They can’t sustain. He should’ve slowed this game down from the start. Chaneys offense is outdated.

Quotes like this is why we’re stuck in mediocrity.

Enough with the excuses.

Pruitt is a joke!!!

Awful take.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

I have been a big Pruitt supporter also but there are starting to be some cracks in my view of him. His ability to be a HC is under question now.
