'19 Recruiting Forum: Official Florida Pregame/Game Thread

[rekinhavoc]

I am not for replacing Pruitt. Every game JG starts from now will erode that opinion.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I agree. We have more talent than it looks like. We don't get the best out of our players, young or old. But if recruiting goes over the cliff, we're dead.

I think we're dead anyway but I get your point.

 

[NMVol]

Just didn't see what we needed to see: taking care of the ball, minimize penalties, get a running game going. Instead they trounced us.

 

[volfanCLT]

Y’all already giving up on this game?

We have Florida right where we want them

 

[Ace]

I hope 100%. I hope the entire staff is canned. None of them deserve to wear the orange. Burn the entire program down for all I care. Let Tee be interim HC...maybe he can at least motivate these kids to play with energy at least.

VN greatly overestimates Tee’s coaching ability

 

[jakez4ut]

Thankfully we have an extra week to convince ourselves how we can win

Nah. Definitely losing the next 3.

 

[VolGee4]

I'd say it's past time the mehlenites admitted they are wrong about Dan Mullen

I won’t. He’s beating a bad UT team. Mullen is weird. Good developer at QB. But I don’t think he will win a title at UF.

 

[Aesius]

I expected to lose this game, but the overall last several games Pruitt has coached has been WORSE THAN BUTCH JONES.

Butch is a semi decent head coach who made horrible decisions that led to his demise. Pruitt is...well, I have no idea. Seemingly awful at every aspect of his job.

 

[volinbama256]

you take away the BS undisciplined crap on our side, Maurer the entire game, then we will have lost today 17-24

 

[RikidyBones]

All I see is **** execution. I'll give true freshman slack. Upper classmen, another example of their needle dicks. Callaway was overhyped. Dude has been a ghost. I think the ncaa should grant him a redshirt year because hes been irrelevant. QB decision making has been ATROCIOUS.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Randy Sanders?

Yes, A TN guy who has been at this program when it was at the top. A guy that bleeds orange and would work his ass off to get this program back

 

[WriterVol]

Not sure why we're talking about firing Pruitt after ~2 years just to hire the next guy we'll have to fire in three years.

 

[Kingston Vol]

He’s like 80 right?

65
two years younger than Saban, three years younger than Mack Brown

Just listening to interviews with Tee makes it clear he's not cut out for being a head coach.

 

[buffaloblue]

Lmao @ us traveling to Norman next year to play the Sooners

Don’t care what it costs. Buy it out

 

[rjd970]

We don’t need to fire him this year or even next year, but Pruitt isn’t the guy. He just isn’t.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I agree. We have more talent than it looks like. We don't get the best out of our players, young or old. But if recruiting goes over the cliff, we're dead.

This is UT. We can recruit with anyone. Recruits will not come with the product on the field and they can see Pruitt will not last. You are better off getting the right coach even if it means sacrificing one class. We will make it up in coaching and recruiting going forward.

 

[Aesius]

We don’t need to fire him this year or even next year, but Pruitt isn’t the guy. He just isn’t.

Then why wait?

 

[HankHill]

You either have to be a great schemer or motivator to be a good head coach. Pruitt isn’t neither, Tee could be motivator

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Y’all are kidding yourselfs if you think it’s impossible for Pruitt to get fired this year. If we’re 1-7 and getting blown out every game, Phil will intervene. He doesn’t care about money and buyouts.

Take that to the Fn bank.

And yet PF hired Pruitt. Looks like he just chose the wrong guy, someone nowhere near prepared for the job. I have strong doubts we could get anyone reasonable to come here

 

[tnmarktx]

You guys do realize that Lyle is laughing his ass off at this entire fanbase right now, right?

I can't blame the POS. If we'd hired a proven HC, maybe we'd be laughing at him right now.

 

[volinbama256]

we will be looking for a new coach in 2021.

 

[pierce60]

It’s a double edged sword....players can’t make plays, so the coaches adjust to try to help them so the coaches look bad too.

I think the biggest problem is Guarantano (not the only problem). He can’t get out of his own way.

 

[HankHill]

Then why wait?

You don’t.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I texted with @OGbabyaviVol earlier and I said the fans are all that remain from Tennessee of old. If the fans give up, it's over.

I’m about done. I say burn the entire thing down. The only thing that would give me hope is to see Tee be interim and see a team maybe play with passion for the orange. I would be good with Fulmer being interim honestly. We need a coach that knows how to coach. Pruitt and his staff aren’t that good at coaching it appears.

Lol...Mullen comes out throwing and tries to score in the 4th. Pruitt just runs it, instead of getting his young QBs some experience throwing the ball.
