We should win this game but the Mocs aren't a pushover. Their QB can sling it and WR Nunnelly is averaging 13.3 per catch. He is like a poor man's Hunter Renfrow, catches everything near him. They have a pretty good RB, Ford, who is 5-9, 210 lbs. he had 127 yards last weekend on 22 carries. Hope we step up and make a statement this Saturday. Next up is Florida at the stinking swamp and then a much needed bye and 2 weeks to prepare for Georgia.
If we lose this game, I don't see how Pruitt saves his job short of beating two out of three of Florida, Georgia, and Bama, which is HIGHLY unlikely.
That being said, let him finish the season, but you have to at least start gauging coaching interest somewhere. Bring in Urban Meyer for all I care at this point lol.
Kinda sucks to hire a man and expect him to use the previous coaches talent and then expect immediate success. Every coach evaluates talent differently and a new coach is handcuffed to use what players are in place when he arrives. I do not know if Pruitt is the right man for this job but you have to give your coach at least 3-4 years to recruit and develop his own players. Right? I mean unless the man just falls flat on his face we have to place faith in him. We all want a championship competitive team immediately but it ain't happening until we stock the cupboard folks. The suffering has been going on since 2008 and we have all had a belly full of it but looks like our only option is to suffer a little longer to see what Pruitt can do with this program. Sorry for being long winded ........Go Vols.
