When a player can't bring his practice self into a game it's the players fault. There is literally no coaching technique that will help a player bring his practice self into the game. He either has it or doesn't.

Yes sir. A pattern has been established . Up to coaches to identify and put someone else in there to sink or swim.

Good post. Too many fans want that immediate turn around that just isn’t possible. It takes a lot of work and time.

No one is asking for an immediate turn around. We are asking to not get blown out by Kentucky in year three. We don’t pay this staff top ten money for Northwestern results.

Weinke's coaching of QBs is underwhelming, and Friend's coaching of the OL has been at times as well. The OL played well against Bama though. I think there are definitely still wrinkles in this staff that need to be ironed out.

I don’t disagree with this

JG was not the problem yesterday.

The Defense was the problem.

And offensive gameplan. Why in the hell would we go uptempo vs Bama when their O is their strength? Should’ve slowed the game down. We’re not an explosive O and our ground game can consistently get yards (minus UGA) so slow it down. Grind the clock. Take a few shots off play action. But don’t feed Bama the ball right back bc we didn’t get a first down and tried to go uptempo.

I thought he was a problem. They don't trust him and I don't believe they tried to win the game. Damage control.

JG wasn't good. Besides a few deep balls he was terrible. Can't hit anything over the middle of the field still

So you wanna fire a coach every time they lose a game they should win?

Yes we’ve looked like poo and that is disappointing. But let’s see what happens after the bye week.

As for expectations, first let’s let the season play out. Second, what were your realistic expectations coming into a year where 3 years ago we lost every SEC game we played? Climbing out of the cellar isn’t easy. Even when we won 8 SEC games in a row it’s not like we were crushing teams. We needed a goal line stand to beat UK last year.

Once the Covid schedule came out, 6-4 prob should’ve been the most optimistic record prediction with 5-5 a real possibility. Both of those are still on the table.

Now if we end up 3-7 then that’s a whole other convo.

Staff wise I think everyone wanted Jay Graham over David Johnson. Kevin Sherrer left for the NFL. What coach wouldn’t want to coach in the NFL? No recruiting, just coaching. Can’t really fault coaches for losing guys to the NFL. Also 95% of this board was begging for us to get rid of Rocker.

My gosh. Where did I say most of that? I don’t want to fire Pruitt and I pray that he turns it around. My expectations were 6-4 like most. It looks like four wins will be tough. That is unacceptable IF it happens. We shall see after the bye. It is not wrong for anyone to not question this staff. Why is JG still playing? Why have the QBs not developed? Why do we shuffle a million o linemen a game? Why are we running on 3&8 and longer multiple times a game?

I’m not saying JG was awesome. He’s obviously limited.

But the defense was Swiss cheese. And the O game plan didn’t make any sense. No idea why we tried to get into a track race with Bama

No leadership on this team. Missing JJ.

Chaney is handcuffed by Pruitt and or confidence in JG.

The young players are studs you can see it but missing Spring Ball and summer workouts hurt their development greatly. Most of these guys are working off less that 8 weeks of practice, out of high school...

I get other teams are dealing with the same limitations on practice etc BUT they have more experience and depth in their upperclassmen. Pruitt is working right now with leftover Jones kids, his first class which was abysmal and underclassmen who are still developing. You guys know I am no sunshine pumper but we have to see it for what it is. Right now the only thing unexpected was UK so take a breath let the bye week do what it’s supposed to and see if Pruitt can close like he did last year. Florida is the only really good team left.

I’m not specifically pointing you out, brother. I’m saying most fans that don’t pay anywhere near the attention that we do are already on the fence. People are way too what have you done for me lately anymore
