Yet you make this post. You’re no different, neither was your generation (of which I don’t even know you belong), you just didn’t have these outlets.

I didn't whine about the poster or the post. I gave a like. Just state why you agree or disagree. Don't need to bash the guy. Do you like being bashed for your opinions?

Euphoric or not, who cares if we hire an OC in a day or week? I mean why does it really matter?

Fact is, the longer this hire takes, the less time the team has to learn the new offense. And if youve seen our offense lately, we cant afford to play with less talent than most and not know what were doing on top of that.

Love the post OP. It still astounds me that we all (trolls aside) root for the same team. So much negativity. Some of the people on here wouldn't be happy unless it were like a video game on easy where we win 99-0 every game, get the top 50 recruits to come every year, and have the best staff and all have lifetime contracts. It's a problem that all teams have though. I'll still be a vol fan no matter what

I will say this as nicely as I can after reading one too many posts of your collective "wisdom". You people are sad representations of fans and your constant negativity without any actual information is intellectually and spiritually draining.

Look, I get it, the admin has surely screwed the pooch the last decade so it is hard to hope for better things. But things ARE different. Whatever you would say about our previous coaches/ADs, Pruitt and Fulmer are quite different from what we have had and no one can seriously say that CPF doesnt love UT or that they dont care about football. We dont know yet if Pruitt will be successful here. In his young career, he has surely been successful elsewhere. But TN has had a way of making even great coaches and all star NFL players suck while they are here. Time will bear it out, an improvement this year as more of the roster is turned over and he brings in new recruits (just remember, star gazers, that there are fewer 4* linemen). Next year the machine will begin to hum if he is the right guy.

In the meantime, why not at least let the man actually get an OC before you start bi*ching? If we dont like him, then fine, bi*ch away. Though it is hard to see who you all would be happy with. You weren't happy with Helton because he didnt have deep experience as OC. I see many complaints about the idea of someone like Sarkisian, a head coach at Washington, at USC and now an OC in the NFL for no other reason than isnt your "pick of the week". We could hire the "National Coordinator of the Year" and you had been clamoring for for weeks and then you would find innumerable ways to complain about how the admin/Pruitt/Fulmer screwed up this hire. But until that happens, perhaps just STFU and enjoy the new year. Unlike previous searches, this one has had almost no leaks, no information coming out at all. Is that better? well it does tell me that someone is more organized and is not a Benny Hill show running around. So lets at least wait and see before you start spewing negative bile over the pristine new year.

To you Battered Vols who are not naturally NegaVols but have been corrupted, twisted into such by the utter incompetence of Administrations past, take hope. While no one can promise an NC or even an SEC Championship while Bama is in full form, I can say that I believe the coaching management we have now will get us at least to being respectable again. By the end of year 2020, I would wager almost everything that I have that you will all feel very differently about our team. Pruitt is not a flashy person but his past demonstrates he understands how to build foundations and teach core skills. I dont know if we will ever be in contention for an NC under Pruitt but I sense that he will build a program that you will no longer have to be ashamed of and you will look forward to Saturdays in the fall again.

Be Happy, its a New Year!

To who? You think nega's are going to stop giving their opinion now or change their way of thinking? This guy probably posted The same thing when Butch and Dooley were coaching
Click to expand...

Who cares to who....you read it.....and replied or added on.....

The nega's will never stop....he just posted a counter opinion....no changes nega's going to be negative (including the trolls) media going to be the media, posters in the middle going to stay neutral, sunshine pumpers going continue pumping....the entitled going feel entitled to state their opinion and the trolls are going troll. The sky is falling vs the sun is coming up mentality...

Always going to have this.....and it serves as a checks and balances system.....however when it gets personal it tends to get nasty and unwarranted....

Only problem I have is when it gets personal towards the individual players....As it has and continues....

I doubt he posted when Dooley and Butch were posting.....but feel free to scroll his posts....

Negavols created by University neglect of the football program for many years if not decades. The rest of us just sit and watch. I think that is based on factual history.

Wish we had beaten USC and gotten in to a bowl game BUT a balancing a bowl,game prep & recruiting & hiring new OC would be difficult
However, I would rather NOT qualify for a bowl game if the bowl game,would have ended up being 28 - 0 like South Carolina in their bowl game

So what you are saying is being a good football team is hard work and the possibility of losing a game is too scary?

If waiting to see results before supporting Pruitt makes me a negavol, then I'll proudly accept that title.

If the results were favorable for your support, how would you demonstrate said support?

Just not to the extent we have now. If not for so called progress we wouldn't have to bow to the complaints of a few.

In other words “shut up and enjoy that 💩 sandwich and pretend it taste good.” I mean it’s only been 10+ yrs.

Whatever pumpers say it is irrelevant since every other coach they pumped shine for is no longer here. Until that 💩 sandwich no longer is a 💩 sandwich fans are going to express their disappointment.
