Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[85SugarVol]

5 games remaining in this quasi season.

5 games for Pruitt to turn the page, and lay the foundation for the path forward.
-or-
5 games for Pruitt to adhere to his stubborn, rigid philosophy and keep doing what has gotten him to this point.

Choose wisely, Jeremy.

From Voluntary Reactions, supposedly Bryce had an instagram live tonight said the team was lacking leadership and will get things turned around after the bye. FWIW

Savion, BT and Keyton all on twitter bashing fans... I hate social media

Why would Savion and Keyton be bashing fans...They're literally wastes of a scholarship.

LSU playing their 2nd true FR QB of the night and they have scored 59 points.

Silly post on your part. No one realistically thought we would win the game. You are smarter and better than that. At least I thought so. It is the Qb issue and the fact no one else is getting a chance for playing time after the outcome was known. It is the fact that our coaches gave up after halftime by completely going conservative until 4 minutes to go in the 3rd Qtr. Then they went back to conservative again. I was bought in with the current coaching staff this year. After the 3rd loss in a row , I know we do not have a HC or staff here that will never take us to the level that we were hoping for. There are HS school coaches who can call a better Offensive gameplan than what occurred today. I now believe that Pruitt does not care if UT excels or not.’

Nah...I’m an island of sanity. I have my own gripes that don’t absolve the coaches but all this absolutist bs makes us look even goofier. Learned too early as a Vol fan not to declare an end result before the book’s been written. No problem with venting and frustration and what not. Just know it for what it is. “Never” “know” “care” are exercises in frustration...nothing else. Maybe they come out to be true...but that’s after they happened.

Liability is one issue. Why hasn’t anyone else hired him? Just asking.

He’s a good coach, and I originally defended him at OM because I thought some of his recruits were circumstantial in nature. But he learned under Orgeron and clearly had to cheat to get players.

Of course no one is going to hire him right after something like that happens but how long does he have to pay? And I am not talking about HC. I am talking about an asst coach. If he keeps his nose clean and has truly changed how long does he have to pay? For good? Its been what about two years? Just asking who determines how long before he can coach in the SEC again?

No alpha on the team. We REALLY miss JJ

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I believe this. I bet we come out after the bye week looking like a different team. Just like we did last year.

As is people with Twitter accounts.

Yup ive thought that this year as well. Seems like Too Too is trying but its hard to be as an underclassman.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

If/When we fire Pruitt, our first call should be to Sonny Dykes.

 

[Jwbvol]

Pruitt doesn't know how to manage a team and he needs to go completely hands off of the offense.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

A VN post about a tweet from Twitter about an Instagram live post about a TN football player telling the TN fans to wait until after the bye week and then they'll have their crap together.

What a time to be alive!

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

We haven’t had leaders in years

 

[butchna]

And then this is the only thing I see from Keyton.

So savage.

I really thought Trey Smith would fill the role... maybe he plays the wrong position to be the spark this team needs

 

[Orange Studs]

Hey just discussing this not arguing with ya just was wondering what it takes to get back into the grace of the SEC lol

 

[SLICKYINC]

We in on this guy?

Lmao...shouldn't he be one of the leaders?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I believe this. I bet we come out after the bye week looking like a different team. Just like we did last year.

So I missed this part of Vol Reactions, but supposedly when Trey Wallace was on there ( I know cant trust a lot of what he says) Trey said we have had upperclassmen who have been skipping classes and then faking injuries to get out of practice and Pruitt is letting it happen. Supposedly he's going to confirm and say more tomorrow.

 

[volfaninpa]

Not for much longer...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He should
