Fire Pruitt tonight

[Alto1]

No way we fire him. Players have to execute. Alontae Taylor blew it in regulation. Yes time to see what the freshman can do at qb

AT and JG both need benched, period.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Pruitt makes Dooley and Jones look good fire him tonight.

So jg again missing wide open receivers some for touchdowns. And pic he threw on 24 yard line plus blown coverage at end of regulation. They were in cover 3...where saftey? Bench butchs players except special teams. See reoccuring theme....3 losses in 5 years same way.....

 

[The Original Fade]

They have up 1 Td and that was on a short field.

The play at end of regulation is learned in HS. They botched it.

I’m sure every coach that is fired says on his way out of the door...”hey, I coached em right, the players just didn’t execute”

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Good idea that way we can lose all the recruits Pruitt is bringing in including the best QB on the board.

We very well may lose him anyways after we start 1-6. Recruits are going to catch on to what is already apparent to many: Pruitt is not a good head coach.

Not sure Taylor should be benched. But we need to get the freshman the ball

It isn't hard to see, they didn't execute. Plain and simple.

 

[ShoNuff]

To all you numb nuts who thinks Pruitt needs to go, was he the one that caused the busted coverage with 13 seconds left to go. I will say Chaney got way to predictable down the stretch with the off tackle run. JG needs to be benched

FIRE HIM TONIGHTTTTT

 

[DonjoVol]

Pruitt has so far shown he is not the man for this job. These 4 straight losses should be enough for anyone with half a brain to come to that conclusion.

 

[AustinMem]

You don't fire Pruitt right now. Its asinine to say that

You fire everyone and concentrate all your efforts on basketball and baseball. Rowing and Bass fishing too

But just put the Football team out of its misery. The Bad News Vols are killing us all, slowly

I expect Tennessee to have a bad year in basketball this year too, so I hope baseball, rowing, and "bass fishing" get pretty darn good.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

So going for it on fourth down instead of kicking a field goal had nothing to do with it? Seems to me those three points would have ended the game in regulation.

There's lots of plays in that game would ended with a win. It's on players

 

[The Original Fade]

It isn't hard to see, they didn't execute. Plain and simple.

Neither did Butch’s or Dooley’s then. Why are they not still here?

 

[NEVolFan]

JG is the issue on O. D has to grow up... they will you can see progress. JG will not develop further.

 

[eVOLve]

Zero percent chance. Zero.

Oh really? You got a grand solution to all of our problems?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I'm not a coach like you but seemed like he took the play off to me. I think we should have kicked the fg in the first half. But Taylor did everything wrong possible on the 64 harder with the game on the line. Not something we expect from him. Probably should have got the Freshman a series or two tonight if for no other reason than to show JG. I was a senior in high school in 88 really glad we didn't fire coach Majors when we were 0-6. He went 11-1 the next year. If you don't have the sack to see a rebuild through then hey that's on you. 14 games in to fire a coach sets this rebuild back another 4 years.

It does not take a coaches mind to state the obvious. It is obvious now without a doubt that a program rebuild with Pruitt will never happen. As soon as we part ways with Pruitt , we can then hopefully start a true program rebuild.

 

[KeyVol14]

How many times did we go for it on fourth down and in field goal range? Who made those calls?

I guess to many

 

[allvol123]

Neither did Butch’s or Dooley’s then. Why are they not still here?

Because at the end of 3 years they were showing regression.

 

[BEATBAMA12]

I’m not sure about tonight, he should get 3 more games, see how they come off a bye.
Check how much faster everyone has been compared to UT, were about to receive the worst butt woopings the sec has seen since UT was dominating. This early still got time to improve recruiting, but also might lose current players, JG will transfer after being benched probably to Rutgers.
Let shrout get playing time to be a good back up to bailey next year, Hcnaey wants the HC job I’ve heard. Give it to him, Tee take over in 5-7 and win titles.

Will all the fire Pruitt crowd please turn in their Vol cards?

 

[Alto1]

We are going to be a tough team by the end of the year. If we don't have any major injuries, I could see us winning the last 4 or 5 games on our schedule.

I liked what I saw for the majority of the night. Just had a bad bust that bit us at the end of the game. WE ARE A YOUNG TEAM THAT DOESN"T KNOW HOW TO WIN OR CLOSE OUT GAMES. We will get better as we tighten up our assignments and alignments.

Be patient and let Pruitt do what we hired him to do.

If your going to be stupid you better be tough!

We got the stupid part down, not so sure we are tough though.

 

[CoachClick]

You didn't see plenty to like tonight? OL played very well. Our QB is what he is and hopefully one of our backups wins the spot sooner rather than later. Defense played the run well most of the night, contained a mobile QB, but they still had some missed alignments and assignments that killed us at the end. It is what it is.

It isn't near as bad as some of you want it to be.

Not to go into detail but ...

yes it is as bad as we think it is.

period.

 

[volfanhill]

I guess to many

So that busted coverage play wouldn’t have mattered? So quit calling people numb nuts for calling the head coach to the carpet.

 

[Volinfla13]

Nobody’s getting fired. This is a player execution issue!

What causes poor execution?

 

[volgr]

Not to go into detail but ...

yes it is as bad as we think it is.

period.

Not we, you.

Lol

 

[HendricksonT182]

Completely agree, if not tonight then at the end of the season. It is time to move on he just does not have what it takes to be a head coach at Tennessee.
