What do we expect from Pruit next year?

Multiple variables
we led the nation in 2016 with 57 non starts due to injury or rules.
we led the nation in 2017 with 82 non starts due to injury or rules.
went 9-4 in 2016 variable Dobbs
went 4-8 in 2017 variable coaching change, injuries and players /coaches gave up in the end
If we get down to normal non starts and the offense can cut 3 & outs to 1 a game or less and drive killing sacks, think we have the talent to go 8-4 or 9-3.
QB. need someone to step up and at least be a manager, coaching and players buying in will be variables.
If we go 6-6 or less with normal injury rate we have hired the wrong coach.

Anywhere between 5-7 to 8-4. If we get guys in here who DEVELOP TALENT then we will be a good team. Our class average with butch here was around 12th in the country, but he along with his other coaches sucked at developing that talent. We have a QB who was as close to being a 5* as you could get coming out of high school, and Guarantano has a sky high ceiling to work with! He can develop into a solid SEC QB behind a serviceable offensive line. We have a lot of players like Jarrett that just need to be developed. You can get the best tobacco plants in the world, but unless you go through the correct process of growing the tobacco the plants will be unsuccessful.

I don't think we beat Florida anytime soon either, but your "fact" is not fact, and that is a fact.

I think we have a great shot at beating them this year. Pruitt doesn’t seem like the type of coach thats gonna get owned by any school like some of our previous coaches, including Fulmer.

Competitve with a chance to win big games. Georgia is going to be a beast for years to come. Gotta challenge them in recruiting next year.

I hope we can win three conference games and go to a Bowl game. We have a lot of talent on the roster should be able to compete with the likes of Vandy, Kentucky, Missouri, and even florida.

Not Florida, but I agree with the others. Unfortunately, this is where we are as a program - competing with Vandy, UK, Mizzou. Considering we are the richest athletic department in the conference, it didn't have to be this way.

6-6. 3-5 in the SEC with wins over Mizzou, UK and Vandy. 3-1 in the non conference with a loss to WVU. That would include a tough 5 game losing streak but then 4 wins in a row at the end to make a bowl.

Win the National Championship as DC at Bama.

Become the most feared Wild Card in the Conference. Still an 8-4 to 7-5 record but FEARED. We will win 1-2 games we are not suppose to win...

I would be presently surprised if this green coach with a gutted roster went 6-6 next season.

7 or 8 regular season wins would be a good to very good first season, especially in SEC. Thats not too common, for a down SEC program.

We are going to beat Florida. Living in Florida not one of the Gator fans I've come across have said they're confident they can beat us next year. They had just as bad of a season, new coach, etc.

Has D4H been here yet? If so, take all of the games he says we will lose. At least half of those are wins. Take all of the games he said we will win. At least half of those are losses. Take his prediction for our final record, reverse it, then multiply by 3.14159265. That's our # of wins, give or take 12 X 3.14159265.


Aside from that, I have no idea.


Go Vols.
