Not good, just lost a 5 Star commitment. Terrance Lewis

I know this sounds nuts...but has the thought that Fulmer is intentionally tanking the program to make sure that no one is as good as he was ever crossed your mind?

You're right.

It sounds nuts.

That doesn’t sound nuts. It sounds stupid as hell.

 

[joevol33]

Well, thankfully he doesn't give us our best chance to win. That's the players Pruitt wants!

 

[lilesrt]

This is what happens when you lose football games. I wouldn’t sign with Tennessee during this mess. Bottom line, Pruitt must go. The wheels are falling off.

This is the one guy that I thought could've actually made a big impact for Tennessee's defense next year. Our most glaring weaknesses are pass rush and QB.

The only good I've seen on the defense is Henry T.

No, Just as Pruitt isn’t intentionally tanking the program. Fulmer loves the Vols too much to do anything other than raise them from the ashes. Unfortunately Fulmer was never great at selecting position coaches so Pruitt is just another example in a long line of bad hires. As far as Pruitt, he just sucks as a HC mainly because he’s a megalomaniac.

Lewis decommitment leaves Vols sans touted LB

 

[BisonVol]

Who would have ever thunk that coming to play for a lame duck coach isn't very appealing?There will be more to jump ship, especially after Florida has their way with us. 3-7 (possibly 2-8) along with a mediocre recruiting class could force Fulmer's hand.

 

[Jaws]

Reminds me of this line in the old Haggard song "rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell".

Like was for the Merle Haggard reference, not the bad recruiting news.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Wow Does anyone really think we gonna fire him a month after giving him an extension

 

[ATLVols]

This is really bad news. He was solid before we lost so many games and Pruitt put himself on the hot seat by playing JG.

Fulmer loves UT and wants us to win big.

Pruitt? Well.... Maybe I shouldn't go there.

 

[Volnbeers]

Defensive “guru” can’t even keep his defensive recruits. Sinking ship...etc

 

[Ten_Titans]

Not worried. There's lots of good running backs out there I'm sure Pruitt can transform into mediocre linebackers. One might say that's his greatest coaching ability.

 

[ugg]

Florida has become a must win game if we intend to keep this class intact. A must win game that we will lose by 20 plus points.

Fulmer likes the Vols an awful lot. Fulmer LOVES Fulmer. His ego is going to block any moves happening if they in ANY WAY interfere with his access to that milly a year. My concern when he took the job was that the interim talk was pure BS. It will take the Jaws of Life to pry Fulmer loose from that payment teat. He mailed it in for 5-6 years collecting paychecks before, then acted amazed and offended he was actually fired. Vicky acted worse.

We dealt with the Haslam ego for many years, now we get to deal with Fulmer's delicate little ego. And it is going to cost the program. Dearly.

But.....that milly plus will continue to flow. And Fulmer feels vindicated with every paycheck. And in the end.....its all about Fulmer....right?

Is it time for another fan protest at Neyland? Call the senators and get them involved too. This thing is crumbling to the ground. Let’s get the ball rolling.

Like Merle asked in the song, "Are the good times really over for good?"

 

[Vols1891]

The only reason we are so high is because of the total number of recruits.

This is what a lot of people don’t seem to get. By the time it is over, we probably finish around 9th in the SEC.

We HOPE we can finish that high

Yup just saw this on Twitter. Effff

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting dimmer by the day.
This sux.

I agree that Fulmer wants Tennessee to win I don’t think he has a clue how do it.

He done it to himself by riding #2 and blaming a virus

 

[Matt2496]

Everything is just fine. This is all part of Pruitt's plan to make Tennessee great.
