Title: One other thing
Post by: PirateVOL on September 01, 2019, 10:04:49 EDT
If Pruitt was happy with where this team was at coming out of camp,
I have to question his ability to be the HC of the Tennessee Volunteers

The came into the game flat
played uninspired football
all too often looked like they didn't have a fizzleing clue what they were supposed to be doing

Something happened the last two games of last year, that appeared to carry over into yesterday.
Combined with Pruitt noting early in the off season that he needed to to bond better with his players indicates to me there is something bad wrong with the staff and team

I've seen some tweets that indicate that perhaps we didn't spend sufficient time on GA State film.

He must forgot that after you coach all those x and o.
You have to get them to play. Not just show up.

Yep.  Just show up and win.  Noticed a tendency last year for Pruitt to not do much with weaker opponents, like Charleston.  Get a lead, sit on it, mark time to the next game.

You are right, Pirate...something is wrong in the clubhouse. We started the 2019 season exactly like we finished the 2018 season, even worse. What I heard from Pruitt in his post game interview gives me concern that he had less care than the team he just coached to a embarrassing loss.

If we see the same against BYU then it moves to Defcon 1....You can get beat but get beat going down fighting...We are getting beat and like it. I saw things against Vandy in players reactions that concerned me.....I saw the same things this past Sat.

What on earth did Pruitt do to the team to fizzle them up this badly?   :dunno:
