The number of "if it's true", and "what ifs" I've already read this morning..
Guys, I strongly urge use of the ignore feature. TN fans shouldn't have to sit thru the crap happening on the field, definitely shouldn't come here and deal with those feasting on and wallowing in the opportunity.

Anyone that's offended by this, good.

This board and fan base are a microcosm of civilization falling apart in the apocalypse. Things go wrong, people go stupid. Then turn on one another😂😂

Seeing the likes certain posts are getting,.. proof the crazier things become, the more attention the insane are given.

It’s OK for you to finally admit the negavols were right all along.

Agreed even if Pruitt is a failure. I think stability is our best friend right now

well, not so much that, as much as it would be the first guy to say "no" to the job..............whilst having it. and he would be giving up a buyout.

it would be an all time bad look.......

I think there’s now an observable correlation between the 25/class cap and the overall top-heaviness of college football.

That's true. And, further to my point, people in here talking about how Butch's classes were better than what Pruitt is showing so far. Butch's first two classes had 35 and 27. Again, 12 extra spots that he was able to flip in his first couple years.

Would be terrible for the kids. Other then that, I have no problem with organized protests. Won't happen anyway.

protests show organization, unity, and in a way support. letting people know loudly 'we support the University, but, we demand excellence' is different than 'hey **** you! y'all suck, i'm done'.

If we’re going HC searching soon, just find a guy from any level with a track record of winning consistently over the span of several years.

Kiffin was an OC

Dooley had no track record of winning at La Tech

Butch had success in 2-3 year stops but didn’t have proven success with his own players long term

Pruitt was a DC

As much as I’d love someone like Whittingham, Mendenhall, etc, those guys aren’t leaving Utah/UVA to come here. If we’re gonna go cheap, go from the Harsin/Cutcliffe/Satterfield group instead of a hotshot coordinator or a guy who had one good year.

A protest is whatever people want it to be. The fans basically have no power at all. We can bitch at each other on to forums, but we really have no power. Having less then 20k fans at neyland, something would change. Whether we agree or disagree with said protest, they can be effective.

Tennessee have no choice but to show up and cheer as hard as possible. It’s literally our only weapon at this point

Lol. Yup. We have no choice.

Patsies that are taking their toys home and not playing would do it to any team.

Not saying i'm a posivol by ANY stretch, i'm saying support this team and program. Do NOT accept a bad hire. You have many call in shows (Steve can wait a week), email, social media.

Effective in what? What's the goal, just to show how mad you are? Makes no sense to me.

protest is protest. and people will do it no matter if we concur or no. just saying there are better long term options; in my opinion.

I would take any of the last three in a heart beat. I guarantee you we would get to a bowl game this year with any of them. We need to stop saying there isn’t a way out of this. There is, you hire a proven head coach and watch ticket sales sky rocket and donations go back up to where the buy outs are not a big deal. Fulmer absolutely is questioning what to do right now. I think he lets the season play out, but I know for a fact there are discussions being had on what to do in case we only win one or two games.

If you want something to change, sometimes you have to fight for it. I have no problem with a protest whether I agree with it or not. If it makes no sense to you, do not participate in a protest. Or just counter protest and fill neyland.
