People also forget we have extremely different dynamics at UT than at most other SEC schools. Donor in fighting....administration not wanting athletics to drive conversations on decisions...Academics that would rather see our football team fail than succeed......AD that only has partial internal support...A head coach that really has not been given everything he has asked for....an AD that likes to control things way more than people know...I could go on and on.

But until everyone at UT is on the same page and wanting the same goals...it DOESNT MATTER WHO YOU BRING IN....you will still have these same issues. The big names are also fully aware of these dynamics at UT hence why we don’t have big name coaches knocking at our door to come here when the job opens up.

Thought the argument from you all when Pruitt was hired was everyone was pulling in the same direction? Nobody up there knows what’s up or down. I wish y’all would stop giving money. Seriously. It’s the only thing that will stop it all is when they go broke.

It's so damn infuriating.

I say shut it down. I'm dead serious...don't give the UF's, Bama's, GA's etc...the satisfaction of extending 20 year streaks on us. It's embarrassing and pathetic. I live right here in the thick of all of them. I would rather not play than hear it from them about the streaks and blowouts.

I think there are a few of us who need to see some progress before we are willing to continue supporting and I am ok with it. JP got a lot pulling in the same direction...but not all. And where the program was/is...we need ALL imo

It’s such bs too. All we heard when Fulmer took over was “faith is restored rejoice!” And now this. So dumb. Pruitts been given a heck of a lot more than any coach and he flat out sucks. Idk why the academics even get a freaking say. They should go work at Vanderbilt. They let morons into the university of Tennessee this isn’t Yale.

I think the loss of Rumph, Rocker and Sherrer took it‘s toll. They were all very good evaluators and developers of talent...but only one of them was really willing to beat down the path on the recruiting trail. 2 opted for the got it made in the shade lifestyle of the NFL and the other got to name his hours at USC so don’t blame them for not sticking around. Pruitt put some younger guys in those roles who would be willing to burn the midnight oil both on the recruiting side and in the office...but I think that was a bad move.

All you do is mischaracterize what people say and manifest fictional narratives to attack. Borderline delusional schizophrenic. Saying Stoops is better than Pruitt doesn’t make me a fan of Stoops. But go ahead. Continue sucking yourself off arguing points I’m not making.

Specify the fiction in this exchange. I put valid numbers up in response to you pulling “100% better” out ya azz. I’ll let the rest of your zany post speak for itself.

Could the donors fight over whether to hire Meyer or Bob Stoops as HC rather than fight over Doeren or Mike Bobo? Is that possible?

Whats going to end up happening is South Carolina hires Freeze. Tennessee waits and Pruitt gets fired or leaves on his own and there is nobody to hire but another up and comer

What about Freeze? If he wanted to come here would we hire him? A proven winner

It's close. Huge busted plays, slants at will. It's nothing about clouded judgment. It's embarrassing level of defense.

It's not close. You should look at the numbers for that Sunseri defense. 8 teams scored at least 37 points on us. We gave up at least 37 twice last year.

I like you, so it's cool. But anything Pruitt has put out there is much better than what we got in 2012...as Troy just scored again.
