Pruitt completely lost me today and it had nothing to do with margin of defeat...

I wasn't even on the fence coming into today, I thought Pruitt was fine, but after that farce of a coaching effort/game plan, I am done with him. Some examples of not even trying to win the game:

  • Down 14-0. 4th and 2 from their 15. We kick a got damn field goal.
  • Down 28-10, 53 seconds left in the half, Tennessee has all 3 timeouts from its own 25. We run the ball, let 25 seconds run off the clock, and try a meaningless deep ball.
  • Down 28-10 next drive 3rd quarter, 3rd and 5 from our own 30, we run the ball trying to get a first down (fumble for a TD).
  • Down 35-10 AT THE ALABAMA 45 YARD LINE after a fumble recovery, 3rd and 8, and we run the ball trying to get a first down. Don't make it. Punt.
I've never seen a coaching staff do something like this. It was utterly incomprehensible and insulting.
