Their rules are absurd after a player test positive as well. 21 days out no matter what. That’s almost half the season

Yea they are taking the most stringent part of CDC’s guidance that’s meant for High Risk Population. Maybe for an older coach 70+, but that is absurd for college aged kids.

If we're taking equal effort.. Sure. But you said you were a "bad"practice player...

So if you're bad at practice but started, then how bad was the rest of the team at practice...lol

Look it's not breaking news too say that coaches generally play people that display what they expect in games, in practice.

That's why you hear coaches talk about practices having to be very competitive.

Are there veterans/starters on teams that don't necessarily have to do that? Sure.

But those decisions are made situationally.. Not as a matter of process...

None of this is new. And none of it is a road map for what Pruitt should or shouldn't do.

Every time he's put a new QB in they've made big mistakes....

It all goes back to priorities. As a coach, I don't exactly look at it like he (the poster you quoted) does. I want my players to understand what it takes to become the absolute best player they can be. If I play you giving half@ss effort in practice just because you will still most likey outperform your teammates then I am doing that player an injustice. But oh boy, I did win some games, wee-wee! I am reinforcing the behavior that is placing a ceiling on his success, and therefore there teams success. There is winning battles and then there is winning the war. CJP definitely falls in the category of trying to win the war, not just a battle. And honestly, any coach who has high-level prolonged championship type success believes in exactly the same thing.

I’m willing to go the Mark Stoops route. It’s just year 3. I believe in Jeremy Pruitt, I think he can get it done. Let him build and establish the program. Give him plenty of time and patience. Let him find a QB and I think we’ll be good.

Don’t even want to talk about another coaching search.

yeah, i think the way i phrase what you're talking about is "the 'how' matters"....and you can apply that to almost anything, like i do with my kids' school work....my 8th grader is a solid a/b student, but she's naturally smart, and gets a's and b's if she just shows up and does the bare minimum. but she absolutely sucks at doing things on time or just following simple instructions....

she's lost a full letter grade in one class simply because of late submissions and failing to follow instructions (pt. deductions for stuff like not putting your name at the top of the assignment...stupid stuff)...

her response is typical "i got a b, what's the big deal?" or offering the excuses "why does my name need to be on it, it shows who submitted it on line?"

and man, does that open the door for some good coversation about why "the how" matters......eventually that's what will catch up to you and be THE reason you fail at something, or fall short of what you want to accomplish (or something of the like).....

who knows maybe if @Smyrna ATL Vol had been a better practice player, he'd be playing professional soccer by now??

I guess Josh Dobbs should have never played. Some times people are gamers and not good practice players. And our coaching staff makes millions of dollars to win football games.
