Jeremy Pruitt Saying All the Wrong Things Following Loss
« on: November 24, 2020, 10:27:26 AM »
Well he is from Alabama should we expect anything less.

You would think by now Fulmer would have taught him the pat answer to any question is to say "Uh, we gonna watch the film and work like heck to get better".

snip:

Here’s what the Tennessee football Volunteers head coach said after losing to the Auburn Tigers.


Pruitt on JG Saturday and the QB competition this week: “He done a lot of really good things for us…obviously, there’s probably three or four plays in the game that needed to be better, particularly that one. You can’t throw the ball to the other team. Anytime.”

— VR2 on SI (@VR2onSI) November 23, 2020


Jeremy Pruitt on Jim Chaney's performance against Auburn: "Did you watch the game? We had more yards than they did."

Gym or anyone....How long should it take for a coach to turn a program around from the dumpster fire that Pruitt inherited?
A straight forward question for the critics.
2 years?
3 years
4 years
More?
Less?

I'd say it depends in part on how the team looks, an eye test.  A team might lose games while looking prepared, playing hard, not quitting, but just not have the talent.  If recruiting goes fairly well, I'd give a HC 5 years to start winning, coming from a low point.

I wouldn't worry overly about his PR skills.  

After three years one should be able to see both improvement and promise for the future.  If not, well, the seat gets warm.

Jeremy Pruitt is the coach whether we like it or not, and until the hammer drops i gotta support it is my opinion.  He has got to be a frustrated as fans....

I wanna see what he can do without JG.  JG was inherited and has been a dumpster fire every time he puts on a uniform.  Bailey is a true freshman and drove better than JG.  There is no other coach in college football much less a top tier coach that would not have sat him down by now.  Its beyond strange.

Also you gotta figure, it's bled past JG... receivers are now accustomed to stopping to catch the ball if it is anything but a vertical pass- they'll have to adjust the way they've been playing too which will take more than a game to do... the rb's will have to adjust to a QB who doesn't stand like a statue after handing the ball off indicating to LBs the direction of the play instantly. the receivers not indicated by the box as the intended receiver will have to adjust and run routes instead of breaking them and loafing knowing they're not targeted (and just because they're not being stared down doesn't mean they're not going to be thrown to). 

The problem is the QB and a coach that is unreasonably loyal to him.

When a coach tells fans it ain't his job to answer question about the program then he's in the wrong job they're the ones who are paying his salary. If it weren't for fans there wouldn't be a job for him.

By the third year a GOOD coach should and would be seeing signs of improvement regardless of what he inherited.

He would have three years of his recruits and should be playing a junior or a least a sophomore QB he recruited not a 5 year hold over from a coach that got fired for losing with the same guy.

Of course this was a shit show from the start Tater Head didn't come to Tennessee to recruit when hired he was allowed to stay at BAMA which put him behind the first year in recruiting.

People can keep on making excuses but they're just repeats of the same damn excuses I've been hearing for 15 years about all this bull shit from the hiring of second rate coaches.

Some of you folks could just do a cut and paste with excuses you've posted them so many times since even before Fulmer was fired.

The problem isn't the QB it's the coach who don't have sense enough to play a different one. But then I think there may be a few players who have told Pruitt play JG or else.

The brothas gonna stick together.

"By the third year a GOOD coach should and would be seeing signs of improvement regardless of what he inherited."

So in your expert opinion you would have fired Johnny Majors after his third year or no later than his fourth year
since Majors had a losing overall record after his third season and also after his fourth four full season as coach at UT  .
He was 5-6 in his fourth season. 23-21-1 after four full seasons.
I suspect you would have been calling Majors  the "Drunk Dork" or the "Tipsey Teetotler" or some other cute name after his 3rd or 4th season.
Assuming you didn't fire Majors after four seasons would you have fired Majors in midseason in 88' when we started the season 0-6 or would you have waited until the end of the season before firing him?

JM as a "Tipsey Teetotler"? That would have been a rare day

You missed the part where Majors was a proven National Championship head coach.

And Pruitt is, well, ……..not.

Who would you like to hire who might be available?  Urban Meyer?  Probably not.
