How do you know they'll be good? Hooker lost his starting job to Burmeister at Virginia Tech and he was 2-5 as a starter this year, they were 3-0 without him. He really struggles throwing the ball and Fuente didn't even play him at all the last game of the season. Salter has tons to learn and needs time to put on weight and strength and to learn the offense, plus he really isn't much of a passer yet. We woud probably win 3 games next year at most if he is forced to play and it wouldn't be fair to him.If it's HB, let him go cause we have 2 really good ones coming in
Wrong. Everyone expects a bad year. No one would be mad at a new coach inheriting what is going on. It’s probably best to move on now and just suffer the short term bad for the long term good. Shoot we’ve been doing that for ten years.If Pruitt was fired tonight and we lost 12-18 players (Henry T, Eric Gray, HB and a few others like them) before next season and went 4-8, 5-7 all of you saying the players that don’t want to be here can get out would be the same people calling to fire whoever the coach was!
It’s insane around here!
I watched both as well.Stephens career stats were kept in check because he played in the same backfield as Shawn Bryson, Jamaal Lewis and Travis Henry. I watched both. Again how can one argue that losing Stephens , an All American is comparable to losing an barely average 2nd string Rb? View attachment 338919
No logic whatsoeverIf Pruitt was fired tonight and we lost 12-18 players (Henry T, Eric Gray, HB and a few others like them) before next season and went 4-8, 5-7 all of you saying the players that don’t want to be here can get out would be the same people calling to fire whoever the coach was!

We're losing players now, so? I don't think Pruitts job status has as much bearing as so many think. Kids feel like they have an opportunity somewhere else and most are being told the NCAA will eventually approve the 1 time transfer. I just hope they don't get screwedIf Pruitt was fired tonight and we lost 12-18 players (Henry T, Eric Gray, HB and a few others like them) before next season and went 4-8, 5-7 all of you saying the players that don’t want to be here can get out would be the same people calling to fire whoever the coach was!

Chandler was not even close to making people miss like Stephens or even Gray. That’s why he lost his starting job to Gray. Gray in some ways may be the equal of Stephens. Chandler certainly isn’t. Why don’t you start a poll of who VN members think was better between Chandler and and Stephens.I watched both as well.
Travis averaged 4.8 a carry while Ty avg 4.9. And Travis had more opportunities regardless of who he played with.
Had Travis averaged 6 a run you would have a point. He didn't, so you don't.
The fact remains, statistically their careers were very similar. Which were very good.

While I agree with you in thinking Stephens was the better back, by simply polling VN that proves nothing. Have you seen some of the opinions expressed here?Chandler was not even close to making people miss like Stephens or even Gray. That’s why he lost his starting job to Gray.
