Pruit has lost this team

Here's a problem. All these coaches bring in a new offense that never matches then they're admitting it'll take 3 years. Don't expect anything. Then it's all bs. The coaches who come to a program and either keep big portions of the offense and add wrinkles always start winning immediately. Or if they bring the type of offense that compliments the current players and doesn't tank the offense and make it harder on the defense. The ones like Pruit who want to turn the entire pro style from a spread or vice versa always come in losing. Why not give the current group a chance. Tailor the offense to the current players. JP showed he isn't top tier.

Your not bservation is correct but with your carrier on the line how can you run a system you don’t believe in. Fans accept losses in early years but not later. So it is change now or never.
 
I'm confused.

We don't want a coach that claps and pats his guys on the back after a bad play, but we also don't want a coach that yells and kicks a board when his players are lost in their heads.

Our fan base is a conflicted mess. Maybe if we were a positive, cohesive unit it might rub off on the team.
You sir are correct! I love my VOLS! Hate to say this fan base makes me sick for the most part.

We will show steady improvement just like SC under muskrat. But because we are UT and have facilities we will pass them by. It may take three years though. We need cultural change and some beef to play the schemes Pruitt wants to play.
 
I'm seeing absolutely nothing with Pruitt to have any confidence in his head coaching ability...none! We all knew this was a gamble, and we've lost. This is going to be a tough three years.
Hmm...u should venture into sports broadcasting. Your ability to make assumptions and pass it off as gospel is laughable at best. To come to that conclusion after four games, coaching athletes he didn't recruit while trying to change the culture and toxicity within the program is ridiculous. If it were year three and no improvements I could possibly agree, but it is not. Do us a favor and think rationally before you post.

No doubt a lot of fans have quit on the team. Outside of a couple plays, the defense has played decent. The offense has basically put 23 points on the board for Florida. And have done zilch to help us (6 pts ain’t gonna get it done). I’m ready to see the second team offense - I don’t think it can get much worse (hides eyes)
I am all about seeing what the young JT Shrout can do. At this point he cannot do any worse. We need new energy and moxy, and the youngs can do that. If we are gonna lose, might as well give JP's recruits the experience.
 
Well it was sarcasm but take it and run with guy. You like others seem to hang on every word in here. Lighten up Johnny.

I apologize if I mistook your post as being serious.. It's hard to tell sometimes...

Serious off the wall question. Did Freak disable the font editor?


Oh yea, my name is not Johnny......... :)
 
Lol, gotcha. I caused us to have 5 coaches and 4 ADs in the last decade. Unfortunately I was dead on with LK, DD, and BJ. There is nobody that hopes I'm wrong about JP more than me.
Murphy I don't really know how much knowledge and wisdom you have concerning college football but it ain't looking good for you buddy....Coach Pruitt has 5 National Titles to his name and one of the top Def Cord in the game....And also one of the top recruiters in the game...Has been around some of the best coaching staffs in the country...Coach Pruitt is laying the same foundation as Saban did at Alabama and Kirby is at Georgia....And i would say that is working out pretty well for those guys....It didnt happen Sabans first year nor did it happen Kirbys first year....So im trying to understand all your negativity here....Are you a True Vol Fan or a bandwagoner or just someone that is a instagator......

I never played for a coach that wouldn’t kick a whiteboard nor would I want to. If these kids can’t take it ,well.

I wasn't speaking for myself, just highlighting the confusion about what people here want in a coach.

I'm a bandwagon fan. Couple more years until I hit the 40 year mark of fandom. Maybe I'll be legit then.
Thanks for listing JP's résumé, I'd never heard of him until last Saturday. I assumed he'd just wandered in off Cumberland.

I've never understood why not liking every single thing a coach does doesn't make me a real fan, but thanks for trying to help me.

I thought Kiffin and Dooley were ridiculous hires, but turns out I just wasn't a real fan. People educated me on that real quick back then.

It's varied over the years. For a while I was a closet Bama fan. Then it was an UGA fan with a fake username hanging out on this board.

I once got outed as an Ole Miss fan. Imagine my surprise, being as how I've never set foot in the state of Mississippi.

I'll try my best to keep learning from you on how to even become a UT fan.

You're right, there were a ton of positives to take away from Saturday's game. I'll list them below:
 
To be honest, you can ask us about Saban assistant coaches. The last two we had were terrible. I have my doubts Pruitt will get UT anywhere. He looks like he is able to recruit though, unlike Mullen. We still can't crack top 20 for the 2019 class. I just don't think that Saban shares his secret sauce recipe with his assistant coaches, which is why he is 13-0 against former assistant coaches.

Also, Pruitt was pretty unprofessional the last game. Kicking the board is one thing, but to cost your team 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct is absolutely unacceptable. If a player had done it I'd be pissed off, let alone a coach.
 
Pruit didn't understand how bad this team was or he wouldn't have took the job. But he has and now he has to deal with it. How can every coach take over a team that is not talented? How can DD have the same issue that BJ had that now JP has? So for 10 years there are no consistent classes of good players? If this is true how does that happen?

There’s no secret formula. It’s recruit the best players, get them in the weight room, feed them performance enhancers.
