Anyone critiquing this coaching for last night’s performance needs to turn in their fan card. Please do it.

Please sit down and hush. Quiet. It should have 28-0 at the end of the first quarter as bad as we were outmanned. We never had a chance to win. Our guys just thought and expected to. That is a huge deal. They believe in themselves more today when they woke up than even they went to bed Friday night.

If Shrout was benched for that then there is a severe double standard in the coach’s room, because JG three an interception in the game. I believe the announcer said it best last night from his conversations with the coaches. He said that when Shrout was in it limited the plays they called and...

The community most assuredly is attacking the players and coaches. Because the media, and sports media are a part of the community. Say what you want, but it is clear to any level headed person that it takes more than money and a big nice building with all the bells and whistles to recruit. It...

Or maybe this town’s sports media likes to gossip about players and post things that are none of our business. I actually think college athletes privacy should be shielded because of their uncommon status in the community, and the amount of damage that can be done to their lives. Kind of like...

I don’t drink. I’m just saying that is the price that has to be payed to compete for championships. Either K-town has what it takes to win or it doesn’t. You can fire and hire 100 coaches and it won’t change the fact. Also, have you ever noticed that when players or coaches leave Knoxville, they...

Well, the teams we are competing against aren’t playing by the same rules. So stop the bitching when we lose because of a talent discrepency. And for crying out loud quit blaming it all on the coaches. He can’t be blamed for the community scaring recruits away.

We have more disciplinary issues go public than the rest of the league combined. I can promise you, that we aren’t recruiting more thugs than anyone else. We have a toxic culture in Knoxville and it is killing the program. It isn’t the Haslam’s. It’s the community.

UGA covered a 24.5 spread and that’s a hard fought game? No it wasn’t. Tell me what you are seeing to make you think we close the gap on them next year? Recruiting? Coaching? Go to Tuscalossa, and watch the community working together to recruit and help the program. I promise you they are.

I saw nothing tonight to make me think next year will be any different. 2 different kinds of athletes on the field tonight. 2 different prepared teams. 2 different kinds of execution. Too many lost battles one on one by our skill players. Too many lost battles on the field in general. The talent...

I’m not rooting for him to fail. I’ve been waiting for him to succeed and waiting and waiting

No he didn’t. He threw late all day. The long TD would have been an interception against an SEC safety. We can win just as easily with the other 2 options at QB. They aren’t any better, but both guys make quicker reads and quicker throws.

My thoughts on the game last night: 1 the O line played great 200+ on the ground 2 the defense played better except for the one blown mind-boggling play 3 Pruitt coached his arse off on the sidelines. Ansley isn't the guy for DC... Pruitt was the one catching the miss alignments and calling...

I told every one criticizing our weak start to the schedule thwt we needed it. We have a new OC, and a new starting defensive front. Pruitt was getting his hands dirty on the sidelines and getting people’s faces. I saw some fire coming out him Saturday. We are going to be okay. I saw vast...
