not it’s just hilarious the people who don’t like leach (which is fine who cares)
are like boom! Got ya! The moment they lose a game or two. Completely forgetting they are Washington state and not supposed to be at the top of the pac 12 and that they will be be going bowling and would absolutely carve our team up lol.
but yea boom! They lost to a good Utah team lol

Oh, but you're mistaken. I absolutely love Leach. I also realize that with him we would always be the team that has fun and loves their coach, and everyone would want him fired after he lost this way. Yet that's what he is supposed to do there so it's okay.

i think it depends how you define long term success. Is it National title or bust?

I think he would establish the Vols as the 3-4 team in the east regularly, never really consistently competing for the East but regularly beating Vandy, KY, the bad teams we face from the West and splitting wins against SC, and Mizzou. Consistent 7-8 win seasons. That's about what his ceiling here would be. All JMO

teams lose games lol. It happens. Even ones they aren’t supposed to.

It’s been Almost a decade since the SEC and an undefeated national champ.

Guess these came yesterday. Nothing like Clemson orange on a Tennessee shirt. They also feel like they engrained 400 grit sand paper in the fabric. Oh well. I’ll still sport it!🍊🍊

I hate to tell you but it looks like you have a knock off tee shirt bud. In the kid's original version, he left one "s" out of Tennessee and UT just ran with his version. In your shirt, Tennessee is spelled correctly. Something ain't right :):).

Point is, our fan base wouldn’t allow the long rebuild that he’s known for.

I don't know. I think the fans are fine with a slow rebuild as long as you see improvement week to week, season to season. I think that's the problem now, many fans see little to no improvement and even regression. Lot of season left to play. Let's see how it plays out. He's still has a chance to convince fans that things are improving.

he accomplished that much and more recruiting at Texas Tech, the athletes he would pull here is a factor overlooked.. it really is about the jimmies and joes but his phiolosophies on spacing, line splits, exploiting more of the field with accurate over strong armed qb's would make him unstoppable at a top tier program

At Tennessee? At some point, yes.

But I think it’s correct that we’re a bunch of dumb assholes because we factor that into our coaching searches beforehand.

so if Pruitt turns this thing around. And has the exact same career as mark richt had at Georgia would you consider him a failure?

I don’t think Mark Richt was a failure, so no. But I do understand Georgia fans’ frustration with him.

If Pruitt has that trajectory I think we’ll all be ecstatic. But at some point it gets irritating to not get over the hump.

Recruitingwould be the wild card here. Could he get the players for is system to work against the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Florida? That's the million dollar question. He's been able to build at lesser programs for sure but also in lesser conferences. I like him, was excited at the prospect of coming here. I just have a hard time imagining him being able to compete with the big boys. That's just me.

so is it a proven fact that Helton convinced Pruitt to take a flyer on Helton? Or is that just a way to shift blame?

When Pruitt arrives with 2 weeks to sign a class ... Seems like a fact any logical person would agree with. Since Pruitt is a Defensive guy, I would expect that he would value his OC's opinion more than anyone else when recruiting a QB. I would expect that person to be Chaney now.

Guess they are. Just asked my wife where she ordered them from, and it was some T-shirt company. She said all the ones from UT were on back order. 🤷🏻‍♂️
