What if we start out 2-5

While others are *****ing about the what if thread, i want to thank the poster for drawing out the excuse makers. Someone should make sure to bump this thread if this staff falls on their face from the beginning as some are suggesting.

What i do know is that if FCBJ were still here and started out 2-5 it would be an all out riot on here. Seems like a bunch of hypocrites to me.

If this team is 2-5 next year i will for sure be pointing out how this staff took over a program a whole helluva lot better than it was in 2012 and how the previous staff managed to avoid that kind of start.


2-5 start and 5-7 finish would be an embarrassment for this staff. Should that happen we can safely say firing Jones was probably a mistake. Maybe not as epic as Fulmer for Kiffin but for sure a mistake.

Howl and scream and curse Jones all you want, you'll still be wrong.

Anything less than 7 wins and CJP is in over his head.

Personally i hope he wins the 8 he should and manages to steal a couple more. I have no idea if they will make this happen but I will be rooting for them to do so. All this 5 win crap is utter bs

How is that being a hypocrite? We are where we are because of Butch and Pruitt is hired to clean up that mess. Ok say you are hired for a job position that the previous employer left in a god awful mess. If he is working his last day and you begin work the same day. He continues with the mess he created and your first day on the job your having a hard time doing the job you were hired for because you first have to clean his mess up. Based on what you said it would be ok for the boss to yell at both of you equally even though he created the mess and you have to clean his up before you can properly do it. So that would be fair to you? It's the exact same situation and the boss would be a hypocrite if he didn't do the same based off what you just said. Me personally I don't think that would be fair to you. Just something to think about.

2-5 means we fahr Jeremy, shut down the program entirely, chase Fulmer out of town with pitchforks once and for all and fulfill our destiny as Harvard of the South. Amarite?

Our roster is a disaster. 6-6 will Be tough.

Stargazers will say we have talent.

I’ll tell you that those players had talent and the Jones era eroded it away.

This roster is not depleted.

You excuse makers are a sad bunch. Or maybe you're so enamored with our new coach that you think if you set the bar ridiculously low he and his staff will look like miracle workers when they easily clear these hurdles.


I personally have no idea how good they're going to be as CJP has zero history as a head coach. And he doesn't appear to have had any type of working relationship with some of the coaches being hired. In any business start up this is a recipe for disaster that can only be navigated by the very best of the best mangers and leaders. If this staff is as good as many on here seem to think then the Big Orange will win a minimum of 8 games.

Thank you. Someone that See's it the same way I do. We definitely are far from depleted. We just need competent coach's that the players would kill themselves to play for. The players didn't like Butch and would not play for him and that wasn't hard to see. We easily can be a 7-9 win team next season. And we won't see many soft players by September,2018. They won't be around if any still are by then.

If that happens, we need a distraction. I say we attack North Korea or Iran!

I'm a glass half full guy, so I say we will be 4-3 and ready to corn hole Muschamp.

Pruitt sucks fire them all now because we may start 2-5 with the crap Butch built.

We aren't starting 2-5 next season. What he built isn't the problem it's what he's done or in his case not done with the pieces he put in place. He could get some pieces here bit had no clue what do do with them or how to treat them. The cupboard is far from empty. All you have to do is look at what this roster from top to bottom were all rated. Unless every major recruiting service was wrong and the other big name coach's who offered a majority of them elsewhere were all wrong then there's more than enough to win with and build on.

That roster got boat raced by the worst teams in the SEC. There are warm bodies on the roster but sec calibre talent is in short supply. 0 + 0 = 0. Bring in the jucos and allow some of the holdovers to take medical scholarships or transfer down a level.

And boat raced by teams that had nowhere close to the recruiting classes we've had. The problem is as clear and cut and dry as you could ever ask for. It was the coaching. Butch was getting the brakes beat off him by average SEC coach's with inferior talent. It couldn't be anymore clear what the problem was.

Good lord people start the dumbest threads, and yes I clicked on it. The freaking season isn’t even close to starting.

And what if my sister had a ..... would she then be a guy or a tranny. And in the end, who cares, cause she has a ............

I may get a mod charge on this.

I know. I just think that after the last two duds, it has to get better.

I would've hired several other guys first, but the administration tried to kill the program. Somehow we got a coach that seems to know good football.

That's good enough for me right now.

This’ll be an interesting journey with you. Laying bets on when you jump off the train. :)

I never claimed to be sunshine captain. Just willing to cut some slack. If he goes Butch at any point, I'll be there. Lol



Hopefully he'll teach good football.

Very plausible we start we out 2-5 after the Bama game next year. If we are struggling on offense in particular who all is going to be clamoring for Mike Leach and blaming Fulmer for being to prideful to hire him?

No problem...already have mattress warmed up:hi:

If you guys really think we are a 5-7 team next year then why'd we fire Butch? If that is what this talent level is then Butch did ok with what he had. His recruiting ranked decently...so why get on Butch for last year?

Seems Butch is the main one everyone was screaming at as the problem. Now that he's gone you still think 5-7 is acceptable?

You serious? The talent level is this bad because of butch.

I love how every hypothetical scenario from those who wanted "X" coach are always extraordinarily negative. Who is to say we wouldn't go 0-7 before the Alabama game with "X" coach.

CJP has yet to have a practice or coach any of the players and we are already doing what if threads...
we have uncoached talent on the team..
with the right coaching we all might be pleasantly surprised with the product we see on the field...
Lets sit back and give them a chance before we start assuming anything...

Get ready. This is a very likely scenario.

We'll know if he has "it" by year 2. Plain and simple. Almost every coach in the last 10 years that has been championship level has shown marked improvement by year 2. Some have even won NC's in year two.

As the OP, I looked at the schedule at that us what you come up with. Now maybe WV is a toss up. So I think most prognosticators could see 3-4 start as well. 2-5 there will be lots of whaling and gnashing of teeth, no doubt. All that said 5-7, 6-6 is most likely. Which is fine for 2018. Yeah probably less overhaul if we'd hired Leach, particularly on Offense...so maybe wed win 8. But, in the long run, ceiling is much higher for Pruitt. He will get the Jimmies and Joes need to compete for Championships. We would have never gotten to there with Leach.

Nah. He gets a "Year Zero" pass just like the last two coaches. He could go 4-8 and most people would be good.
