[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 637248, member: 2957"] I also attend UT games (where I was in grad school) and Auburn (where I teach). I too see similarities between Collins and Butch. Butch lost the fan base with his sayings, like “Champions of Life”, “leadership reps”, and “brick by brick”, etc. He was upbeat, positive, and told every kid ... “If you come to Tennessee, you’ll play.” He lost the locker room and self destructed. Pruitt has his own issues, but we’re members of the same golf club and he has shared his thinking based on his experience at Alabama, Georgia, and FSU. First, you need athletes who can play at an elite level. Pruitt noted that he knew the names of every kid recruited by any SEC school and recognized only a handful at UT. The talent level was woefully bad. Second, was conditioning. Butch did not stress S&C and it shows. Pruitt said the old are simply not up to playing a full game because they are not SEC level athletes. Third, was fundamentals. No one worked with the kids and showed them the what, how and why required. Combine that with a crappy attitude, and it’s hot mess. As to Collins ... 4 games in, he’s losing me. Stop the dancing. Tell us the offense we’re going to run and run it. Recruit the athletes to play it. Develop them. I’m more interested in achieving milestones than buzzwords. [/QUOTE]
