re: Which first year coach is off to the worst start?

Morris. Pruitt and Mullen have big rebuilds in front of them, Moorehead has been below average, but the jury is still out. Luke is under probation.

Our team is a disaster but it's not really on Pruitt. This is what he inherited. So far the biggest coaching complaint I have is that our offense hasn't adjusted to the fact that our OL can only pass-pro on occasion and completely sucks at run blocking (we aren't throwing it enough).

I know some fans are in meltdown mode already but the truth is that until we get our OL fixed we're going to continue to suck and fixing an OL takes both time and recruiting.

Dude...I read several threads in the offseason saying people were overlooking the Vols talent level.

Butch consistently landed top 10 classes

Replace Vols with Dawgs, Butch with Richt, and consider that Kirby lost 5 games with UGA in his first year, coming close to losing to Nichols State.

Talent means nothing if you have gaping holes at certain positions (o-line being the most glaring) and if there is a system change that doesn't jibe with the players that were recruited. Also consider that the talent came to play for the previous admin, and may or may not buy in to the new culture (there is an inevitable culture change that comes with a new administration).

Kirby had a ton of transfers after year one, and I suspect these coaches will also. Stop looking at the talent of the kids that were already there, and start looking at what is being done to get kids to buy in to the new culture...or removing the ones that do not.

Year One is only important for a coach on that level. Wins and losses matter much, much less. Kirby struggled because of the massive deficit at o-line and because he followed a players coach, Prince Valium of the Sky Fairy Worshipper Association. Perhaps the kids playing under these new coaches have loyalties that lie elsewhere, or do not fit well in a new system. They will be culled, then we can judge.

Dude they could of scored 100 on us if they had kept their twos in. Alabama is good they are the best team in the country but our defense sucks sooooo bad.

Morris seems to be the worst coach so far . The class of coaches seems average . Only Jimbo and Mullen have any chance of winning the conference championship in the future . This class isn’t any worse then Stoops , Butch , Bert and Malzahn . Malzahn is the only one with a winning record in conference play .

Getting fired after half a season would serve that douchebag Pruitt right for laughing at my sweet Snakes On a Plane t-shirt in front of the whole weight training class in 9th grade

I'm hoping the Vols fans are bombarding him with asparagus spears by TSIO.

I'd give them sort of a pass for CSU since the altitude probably got to them in the second half. No excuse for getting blown out by UNT though.

Dumb. UNT is better than Colorado State.

I’ve noticed you have a lot of trauma from your high school experience. Time and time again you’ve shared stories where you were the outsider, just kind of the but of the joke. I believe these early experiences have shaped the person you are today: desperate for attention, obsessive with those more successful than you, total nerd. I’m sorry, no person should have to face so much rejection.
