Jeremy Pruitt is getting roasted for benching Harrison Bailey in first half of Vanderbilt game
Tennessee has a 28-10 lead over rival Vanderbilt at the half. Jeremy Pruitt, however, is still getting criticized on Twitter.
Pruitt’s management of the Volunteers quarterbacks has led to some sharp criticism from fans and media members. Harrison Bailey started 7-of-7 for 67 yards and a touchdown before Pruitt decided to go with JT Shrout. Many fans are worried about the decision impacting the highly touted freshman’s confidence and development going forward.

Harrison Bailey will end up transferring before it’s over if you keep pulling him for no reason @CoachJPruitt you idiot.

Have no problem with Shrout, but Jeremy Pruitt clearly hates Harrison Bailey. It makes zero sense.

Used to be all in in Pruitt’s decision making ability. Not anymore. Let HB do his thing. https://t.co/sMZxAfGKGP

It’s honestly like Pruitt is making terrible decisions on purpose. Or he’s smooth brain clueless and meddles in the offense too much. Both are horrifying options. https://t.co/LYZynnN6BS

Short leash with everyone but JG
If he treated JG the same as the rest of the team I 100% believe the offense would be in much better shape today. https://t.co/fvWhmGGANd

I have been very patient with Jeremy Pruitt as a new head coach, but how he has handled the QB situation this year, especially during this Vandy game, has resulted in me being ready for change. This dude does not make great decisions. Why bench HB? Probably wrecked his confidence

Shrout is playing well…but where the hell is Harrison Bailey??? Why is Tennessee not letting HB get every snap, to see what they have in the future??

I know Shrout got the most arm talent but Harrison Bailey runs the offense so much better man smh.
