I'm almost convinced it's not a talent issue. How could we be so wrong so often on so many qb recruits. At some point, the QB coach has to get some scrutiny. I believe Weinke is the real problem here.

I agree. A blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. It’s like we’re coaching our qbs to NOT develop.

I'm to the point now to where I'm not ruling out the possibility that we offended a witch and she put a curse on our program. I am absolutely dumbfounded at the fact that Penn State was able to climb back to a greater place of relevancy than us after what that program faced. I truly thought that program was done. Dead and buried after what happened there. Yet that program is in a way better place than ours!

I get the feeling the coaching staff on offense is just sitting back collecting checks. When cameras are around at practice they get a bit more lively, but its all for show then they go back to sitting on their laurels. If that is not the scenario that is actually playing out right now CJP has apparently put together the worst group of offensive coaches in the SEC who do not game plan, who do not develop any talent, and have the equivalent of a coloring book as a play book.

You may have something here...a witch! Case's Cove Coven, maybe?

I am finally agreeing with the majority here. Replace JG and the line learns how to pass block and open holes in the run game. Our receivers will finally create some seperation running routes, and we will discover a tight end. But it doesn't stop there, on defense we learn how to cover the middle of the field and stuff the run. And most of all our special teams play becomes special.

So you're saying UT needs to hire a Sandusky?

Didn’t a poster last year claim that Chaney would visit his high school’s coach every other week for a couple of hours just to shoot the breeze? I thought there’s no way that happens because college coaches are sleeping in their offices gameplanning and recruiting. The more I see this offense, though, the more I think it may be plausible that our offensive coordinator spends a couple hours each week hanging out with his high school coaching buddies, and is otherwise happy to deposit that paycheck each week.

This JG situation is similar to the Titans love affair with Marcus Mariotta. They kept trotting him out there, trying to prove he was the guy, everyone was blaming the offensive line for the struggles, finally make the change and the offense changes into basically a machine over night.

If it happened, it occurred on Jan. 4, 1999. I heard more people after the Fiesta Bowl say things like, "I don't care if UT ever wins another (game, title, etc.)". Well, they've gotten their wish, so far.

I'm not praising them. I honestly thought they got off too easy! I thought the program shouldve been completely suspended for a few years and I was furious when the NCAA allowed them to be bowl eligible as soon as they did. Im just saying that by comparison, its extremely telling that a program can come back from THAT and be more relevant than ours in 2020.

I agree. I didn’t think you were praising them. But Tennessee probably would have had 8-9 wins yearly playing in the BiG ten East division

Penn State hired a good coach. I know I know, we all hate Franklin and “Vandy only looked good b/c other East teams were down” but the truth is a coach went into a program that didn’t win a lot of games and found a way to win a lot of games. Franklin is a coach that inspires all his players to give it their best shot. On the other hand Pruitt says things to the media like “only way we can get better is by replacing our players.”

I think this is closer to truth than anything else. I thank JG for his toughness. However, it is time to see what else we have. I remember last year how the team responded to BM coming in and it sparked the offense. Jennings was JG’s cheerleader and bailed him out by just being a baller. If we don’t have a QB on the team after year 3 then the coaches are to blame.

That statement by him shows how Pruitt basically took Butch’s players and tried to make them fit his system than building a system around the players. It’s his way regardless of the outcome as we saw yesterday.

Are you so sure? We just lost to KY. We lost to Ga State and BYU last year. How many losses to Vanderbilt have we had in the last 10 years? How many losses to Mizzou? How many to South Carolina? It took a miracle onside kick against Indiana to beat them in the bowl game. I think you're being awfully generous to our program by saying 8-9 wins would be a foregone conclusion if we were in the big 10.
