So 2017 was statistically the most talented roster Butch had? Firing isn't good enough. Most of the last staff should be tried for treason, strapped to a mattress, and burned at the steak.
:rtfm:

Dude, I like my stakes medium rare! What are you... a redneck?

There is no way we had more talent in '17 than '16. You can throw all the stats you want at it. Its false.
 
A comment that stood out to me from media days is even Pruitt was asked how he feels about the QB room/situation...

And he rewpond by saying he feels good about competition blah blah but the. He said he thought it was important to basically figure it out the starter quickly so our team can build some rythem.

I wonder even if he knows who his starter is...will he release it publicly or try and hide it from WV.

Prob will keep it close. The way I understood his comments yesterday.... he plans to let all 4 QBs have a shot to compete for the starting job but that he will narrow it down quickly as it is important that they team get in a rhythm. I'd say all 4 probably get a week of similar reps then they will judge the tape then narrow down to 2 getting the most reps so they can pick one.
 
I think our O line is going to be better than people think. Having Smith at LT, sliding Richmond over and adding Kennedy is going to make a difference.

Richmond projecting at guard?

He’s never been a tackle to me. Doesn’t have the quickness.
 
What are the rumors there that we know about?

I know he and Richt got into some arguments are there has been speculation that Pruitt either showed up at Richt’s house hammered or use some fowl language around his family.

And I think everyone knew Pruitt was gunning for that head coach job knowing Richt was on the hot seat.

Gobble gobble?

If this is the case. Vols will be running to the left side when critical yards are needed (like first and goal from the 1)

I think they'll try sliding him back to RT and see how that goes. But he could end up down the depth chart, especially if Hall's healthy. He should improve with this staff-- his work ethic is already better. IMO, he's one of those players who needed a fresh start.

THIS. Why Butch moved him from a stud RT in high school to a LT in the SEC we’ll never know, that always bugged me. Smith/Richmond at tackle, Hall/Johnson/Locklear/Carvin at guard, Kennedy at C. That feels good to me.
