I realize that everyone who is a Vols fan is disappointed in the program over the last decade and have BVS, we have been disrespected by the sports media for far too long, and the last coaching search was a debacle, to say the least. We have people posting on here who call the players bad names and talk about how bad they are, wanting a coaching change after the first two games of the season, making disparaging remarks about the coaches. We as fans need to understand what kind of affect we can have on the program, both good and bad. When the players are called something like liquid garbage, like I saw in a post this morning, that is totally uncalled for. Support our guys, make encouraging posts, and let the recruits know we support them and want them instead of making remarks that may change their minds about coming to Tennessee. When a player is singled out and repeatedly criticized, a highly rated recruit who plays that position and is strongly considering Tennessee may chose to go somewhere else, so they don't have to endure that type of ridicule. So what say we knock off the negativism toward the players and coaches and support the team. And yes, I am disappointed in the way the season has gone so far, but I'm not going to be making any of the comments I have seen on here from some posters. Let's get behind the team instead of being so critical all the time. It seems like Fulmer said during the introductory press conference for Pruitt that it would take 4-5 years to get it turned around, yet here we are with people calling for Pruitt's head after fifteen games.

I agree Behr. With all due respect,
The woman tells me how to feel and what to do, the preacher tells me how to feel and what to do, the government has now started to tell us how to feel and what to do, please at least let me come to VN and grant me some freedom to feel the way and do what the hell I want to do!

OP, I’m not against you at all; however if coaches or players or anyone in the organization is coming on here, reading something, and getting butt hurt.........that’s on them period.

Why can’t or why shouldn’t a place like this be a Vol fans group therapy home? Seriously.....we’re all (or mostly) Vol fans, why can’t we come on here bitch and moan or cheer and be happy? Heck this isn’t a coaching site.......it’s a fan site.
