That would be fine with high-level donors. Neyland upgrades are planned to improve the gameday experience for those in lower-priced seating.

Those of us in the cheap seats don't really care about this if the product doesn't get better. As long as JP is in Knoxville, I have no faith in the team and my gameday experience will be the one in my living room, wouldn't waste time sitting in the new seats or whatever they have planned.

I also think that Fulmer forced T onto Pruitt and I don’t think the two have ever meshed.

I don’t think Pruitt meshes with anyone unless he’s a close personal friend of his outside of football, like Friend. Pun intended

It’s been rumored Phil forced Chaney on him too. We already saw him run off Brum after 2-3 games and he ran off Helton after a year. I can’t believe he’s kept Weinke around for so long. Not only does he stink but supposedly he and Pruitt really don’t get along.

Just passing along info--no offense meant. I don't make decisions for UT and my name isn't Randy Boyd, so hurling your frustration with UT leadership my way doesn't do anything. I'm tired of being the mattress for hundreds of matches. There's much to be happy about, and thankful for, this holiday season so I, for one, am going to focus on the joy of the season.

Again, I think that Pruitts hires have been micromanaged by Fulmer.

I’m not saying give Pruitt a pass but if that is the current thing happening to this coach it’s going to be the same thing with any other coach..... what kind of coach wants to walk into that?

Keep up the information. Nobody is happy right now until Pruitt is fired. If it doesn't happen this year then there is no coming back from the disaster that follows

Hey, I didn’t mean to shoot any arrows at you man. I appreciate the info you bring around here. But surely the powers that be are not that tone deaf when it comes to this program and it’s fans. To even think about upgrading seats or facilities when the product on the field is total $6¡7 is ludicrous.

I think Tee is currently second on the list at South Alabama. Their number one candidate is Kane Wommack.

Wommack has two other pretty good options as well - LSU wants him as DC to replace Pelini and Arkansas State wants to interview him.

Should know if he accepts the South Alabama job tomorrow.

I heard tonight about another option at South Alabama too. Tee might end up at S. Alabama now that AState opened. Some of same candidates and AState probably viewed as a little better job

Our receivers haven’t been able to get open all year. Evident in the last game against the Gators. Multiple times Bailey had to go to the check down because our receivers were blanketed.

It was so bad that the commentators were commenting about it the entire game. They even went back and showed multiple times that our guys were covered in zoomed out camera shots.

I'm applying for the next HC position.

Some of my highlights:

1. I'll run dime formation 100% of the time, even on goalline stands.

2. I'd hire a run and gun coach.

3. I'd pay every 5* recruit in the nation with all my yearly earnings except a meager 100k that I'll keep for myself.

4. With the increased talent, I'd eventually hire a good DC.

And you too could be made a millionaire by the University of Tennessee! We seem to make a few every 3 or 4 years!

Are you going to judge them on one game? The receivers have probably been going through the motions all year not expecting to see the ball. If you're not the primary, what are the chances the balls coming your way with JG at the QB spot. I'll reserve judgement because of the thrower.
