Rumors floating about - Tim Jordan

That’s the problem with this team as well as many other teams today. Nobody is willing to man up and fully commit anymore and the transfer portal only enables this behavior. These kids listen to all the hype about them in high school and all the schools begging them to come play for them and think when they get to college the job is theirs rather than understanding that the best kids on every high school team are their new teammates so they are nothing special anymore.

Sure there are still some that are truly special and clearly are better than others on their college team, but most are now average amongst their peers instead of the stud.

Then they don’t want to put in the work to be the best and when they get jumped by a player that does they get butt hurt and want to transfer. It’s pretty apparent there are a lot of those kids on this team right now and in my opinion, that right there is the problem.

Yep, the coaching could be better. Yep, the fans are part of the problem, looking at stars and putting kids on a pedestal, only to find out they are human and don’t live up to our expectations. Yep, some kids turn out to be busts. Yep, the Haslam’s, the AD situation(s), Lane, Dools, ole Tomato Face...it all sucks as a Vols fan. But until we have kids here that really want to be here and fight every angle down in practice and fight every single down in games and put the team before themselves...until that happens the product won’t change.

Flame away

When a new coach has barely started his 2nd year coming into a completely destroyed by the previous coach and they are wanting the new coach fired, they are looking for instant gratification.

Sooo, you're saying that wanting a second year head coach with several 4* players and a whole off season to prepare, shouln't be expected to beat Ga St at home? Surely that isn't wanting "instant gratification" as much as wanting to see improvement instead of regression.

I said it last year. By the time Pruitt is done here we will have posters claiming Butch left no scholarship players and his walkons had no arms or legs.

It's the VN way.

It makes perfect sense for the malcontents to leave this week. You have the 4 game rule, so they won't lose a year of eligibility and it's a bye week. We are so bad right now, is there anyone besides the true freshmen that we can't afford to lose? We are basically starting from scratch, anyway.

You ready to toss out Pruitt's first class? Year zero all over again?

Nothing to worry about. I remember the coach fluffers telling us that when players were leaving under Lyle that they were weak and cancers to the team. I’m sure they will be along any minute to tell us that Jordan is b$tch who couldn’t handle Pruitt’s (non) coaching style.

You get a like for "coach fluffers"

Do our players have to sit out a year if they finish out the season? I did not think you had to sit out if you went up to a Division 1 team. (sorry, I am in a bad place).
