At this point, I'm wondering if Pruitt is Holly Warlick-- a great assistant who's not cut out to be HC at a demanding program like UT-- or just a guy with a steep learning curve. The HC job is still too much for him and he does best when he can focus on one thing. UT has taken virtually everything but coaching off his plate and he still can't get the guys game-ready and put a prepared team on the field.

He's a hired gun-- and that comes with limitations-- but is he really invested in UT at the level he needs to be? He seems to resent spending time with donors, fans, the media and the community, and UT allows him to sidestep that part of the job whenever possible. The downside to that is he's not going to have the support he needs-- and he's going to need it.

Yep. We have no evidence at all he’s a good coach. In his 13 games as a head man, we have looked good twice, and like crap 11 times- even three of the wins last year. Plus, we got fortunate on all the 50/50 balls at Auburn. He is recruiting at a level lower than Butch. Pruitt is an abject failure as a HC.

And so it starts. The worse part of losing isn't even the loss. It's all the rumors, negative hot takes, fake insider info, looking for insults of anybody and everybody, and those who are so eager to believe every word of it.

So now we great fans will insist we don't care anymore and are quitting, all the while stir the pot, spread the poison, create a hot seat, demand a new coach regardless of the situation, and then act surprised when things don't get better. Rinse, repeat. It's been this way since at least the last few years of CPF's tenure.

Some truth to this and all the more reason to see the writing on the wall and deal with it now versus two years too late if Fulmer doesn’t see a path. I do have some faith that Phil will not let this go on too long.

Genuine question. Are you defending yesterday? Should we accept losing to Georgia State type teams now and not complain about it? You sound like part of the problem.

This is like Christmas to you and I’m the problem? I wait all year for this $hit and I’m not going to let one loss no matter who it’s to ruin something I love. I still think we get to 7 wins. If I’m wrong I’m wrong, but I’m still gonna go to games and have a good time instead of sulk like a little bit@h on a message board.

There are so many on this board who just feast on the negativity. They don’t even really want the VOLS to be successful. That’s why you see them post so much in difficult times. They come out of the woodwork for these moments.

It just seems that way. Most of my fellow, longtime negavols post everday.

If you can stay positive after last night, then our local high school could use a good motivational speaker

Salvage the season? Lol we just had our worst loss in 30 years and nobody seems to care. Yesterday was a nightmare opener. How do you even move on from that...

How? Players and coaches need to man up, find some pride, beat BYU, build confidence and show recruits that yesterday, inexcusable and inexplicable as it was, won't be repeated and committing to UT won't be a mistake. Because if recruits won't come, we're not rebuilding.
