Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolFreakJosh]

The problem with Pruitt is his inability to install an offense that can score points.

If he thinks his defense can carry over the entire game in the SEC, then he needs to be fired immediately.

That’s why Fulmer has Pruitt’s back. They’re too much alike.

 

[Devo182]

The transfer rule is going to pass it’s just being pushed back a few months on the vote.

That's what they said a year ago too. That's twice they've punted on it. I'll believe it when I see it.

Still doubt SEC goes along with it, at least right away. Which is why Gilbert, Pappoe, etc dreams don't make sense right now, like @jordan4vols said.

If Pruitt is too much like a hall of fame coach, I think that’s a good thing.

After what he did riding with JG when everyone in the world but him and JG knew the backups couldn't do any worse and it turned out Bailey actually did better, I don't have any confidence in Pruitt on the O side of the ball and wish he would quit trying to control it.

 

[SmokinBob]

Oh, I wasn't falling into a trap ... I was just seeing if he qualified for this list I have.

WE MUST FIND A GOOD WB

Lol Pruitt WOULD want a WB...

Going to bring the single-wing offense back.

The offense was terrible, it didn't matter who the qb was.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Nothing wrong with having an opinion, but wouldn't it sound better if you just simply say we haven't been playing well lately. Regressed in the way you used (and many on here) it sounds like you think their skill has diminished.

Fair enough

I thought we already had a poster named White Bread, I don't know if he's any good or not.

What position is Bryant going to play here? He was a 4-3 DE at Auburn and is only about 250 lbs.

edge

Should he have put bailey in before he was ready..... bailey had no offseason.... Pruitt started Sunday scrimmages to get him ready..... even Peyton Manning struggled a little at the start of his freshman year and he had the whole off season to get ready.

Pruitt will probably have him switch sides of the ball. Maybe FB. Can he block and drop balls? Then TE.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Or, he bolts.

I hope he does

Sam or Jack. Auburn was multiple and he stood up a lot.

This ain’t the 90s anymore. You have to score in this day and age to win games.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Here's my wishes both past and present...
1. I wish they would have fired him at the end of the season if they were going to unless...
2. I wish they had a really good coach they were targeting, and they privately did everything they could to get him to come before they stepped blindly into another coaching search and...
3. I wish if the really good coach said no they would choose to all come together to make sure Pruitt has everything he needs to put a good, solid, well-coached team on the field that will make Tennessee a place really good coaches want to come to in the future if JP cannot makes us good enough to compete for at least the east.
4. I wish if they were going to fire him after the investigation and plan on Steele being interim, it really is only interim.
5. I wish if he does come back we would not spend the whole off season talking about what he did in the past as if nothing good could happen in the future.
6. I wish this is the rock bottom, and we start going back up.

Why is this always ignored. We've tried 4 different QBs under Pruitt. 3 last year alone. Offense always garbage.

There’s a pending SCOTUS case for the NCAA with a decision probably coming in June. They’re not taking any action until that comes down. Even if given the all clear, I’d be surprised if they vote and change the rules in time for the beginning of the ‘21 season.

AND we’d also have to wait for the SEC rule change.

 

[volbeast33]

He didn't get sloppy, he is just used to people in his program having his back where he has been before..not people sticking a Bowie knife in it up to the hilt..

This is accurate.... it’s why I don’t know if freeze would work here bc we don’t protect our coaches/program.

Bc bailey is the first decent QB he has had.

 

[Deebowbear]

Who in the hell thinks pruitt can be ceo,lost there fuing mind. He will be melding as always and don’t forget fulmer to. Not happy at all if this what is done

 

[butchna]

Why not. What has he done outside a video? He may be great but no way to know if he is so no way to know isn’t.

Yes there is...give him more responsibilities. And it was more than one video.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Bc bailey is the first decent QB he has had.

And who's fault is that?

 

[Devo182]

Bc bailey is the first decent QB he has had.

I mentioned him. We saw HB and the offense was still garbage.

Fwiw he is the third E11 qb on the team. That is development (lack of) and poor scheme.

Chaney has to go.

4qbs 2 OCs.....21ppg.
