Sign up for espn+ and then just cancel. They may have a free trial? It can be hard to cancel though. Sign up on your phone. I made the mistake of signing up on my firestick and it was impossible to cancel from the firestick. Tried to cancel from my phone and it said you have to cancel from the device you signed up on.

Yeah, the canceling from the device you signed up with is so stupid.

I don't get this eruption of vitriol. Nothing has changed this week. UT has been staying the course all along, with no intention of doing anything else. Opt-outs are negligible. The recruiting class is amazingly intact. The guys we need to stick are sticking. Most of our top recruits, including Salter, still plan on signing early. Brooks is still solid. Staying the course and focusing on playing and recruiting is exactly what stable, unemotional leadership should do right now.

Losing to Vandy would do more harm than good. And actually wanting to lose to Vandy and posting it on a message board that recruits read...

Well said. Stating facts and not your opinion 👍🏻👍🏻. Anyone arguing these points is resigned to being miserable. Or looking for reason to be miserable. Par the course as far as most Vol fans to unfortunately

What the Austin Prices and Hubbses of the world care about is access. That's why they play nice with people associated with the program. If even they are giving a more unvarnished version of their opinion now, I wonder if that could be a reflection of their thinking Pruitt might be done after all. They have no incentive to keep a good relationship with a total lame duck program.

No. I'm glad our administration is acting like they're running a billion-dollar business. They don't need to publicly announce what they're doing, and they certainly don't need to make emotional knee-jerk decisions. They need to do exactly what they're doing-- keep moving forward, control the controllables and work behind the scenes to find the best resolution to what is clearly a big problem.

The problem is pruitt. He will not succeed here. The longer we keep him, the worse it will get. Just get rid of him and try again.

You don't cheer for the coaches. You cheer for the players that wear the Orange & White. That's why I'll never hope for a loss. Coaches should be hired and fired on their merits. We don't need to lose another game to acknowledge Pruitt has failed at his job thus far. Losing to Vandy wouldn't prove some kind of point. That point has already been made. So I'll be cheering for a win on Saturday, because that's what fans do. I'll hope for the best for those young men, and I'll also hope the coaching situation works itself out. Hoping to lose just so you can get your way is a betrayal of fanhood. It's betraying the young men who wear that Orange & White.

We are careening towards the lowest win total in a season since 1924 after being forced to watch the last 15 years of Tennessee football unfold. At some point, enough is enough.

There is a school in Nashville where seasons like this are accepted and I hope we beat them this weekend. Why would we try to emulate that in any way?

Are you one of the trolls who have swallowed the media narrative that Saturday's game is make or break and wanting break call for Bandy to win? 😷 Are you?

Honest question. Does it not irritate the living hell out of you when an Alabama moron, who is driving our program into the ground to start with act like a total arrogant ignorant *******?

I hope he gets fired and gets back to his reality. A saban follower who can only coach 5*s, which isn’t impressive really. We are done with the bama moron.

He acted like this to six-figure donors his first year here. He is what he's always been. All those things people hate about him now have always been there. He can't juggle the many demands of the HC job, he isn't a great face of the program, he doesn't like fundraising or community events, he isn't great at personnel management, he's terrible at PR, he desperately needs delegation skills and he would be well-served to surround himself with the best people he can get and trust them do their jobs. Yet the players like him. Really like him. And so do the recruits.

All of this is the same in year 3 as in year 1. People are just over-the-top now at what's been there all along. And the red flags were there before he was hired.

The only recruit that matters is Salter, and people can say this or say that.

QB is what makes this thing go, and we need a game changer. Is he that? Who knows, but ask Dabo what Boyd did for them. If he doesn’t go there , they probably don’t get Watson and history could be completely different.

We can debate about Pruitt and the staff, but we need a QB we can build around. Hopefully he is it.

Vandy should never the line in sand. I will not wish for a loss no. I haven’t seen any media narrative that says we lose to Vandy and Pruitt is gone though

So he sucks at everything related to being a HC, but our admin thinks its a good idea to keep him. And there lies the problem

I would love to have Will Healy........but I'm almost to the point of staying with CJP and allowing him to fight through the issues. Chaney is obviously not the OC everyone expected and CJP needs a DC as well. Let him figure it out. He can recruit, now find the coordinators that can do their jobs!

Just sounds like Coach O at ole miss to me




2020 is hopefully been a humbling experience for him and he knows he needs to change. He needs to have a brian kelly 2016 self reflection time. It’s possible it happens.

Coach O is still a crappy coach. I would be shocked if he is still at LSU in 3 years.
