That 8 game winning streak between bouts with Alabama and Georgia was fool's gold. We weren't beating teams we shouldn't have beaten during that streak. We won games we should have won, and this year, with a star-studded OL and another year of experience, we didn't beat the teams we should have. Not only that, we couldn't even stay competitive with them in the second half of games.

Your opinion. I respect it. But some of so called Vols fans got to understand it may take 5 years from the time Pruitt started to get all 3 levels where it needs to be. Depth takes years to acquire. Qb position is more often than not a hit or miss. I am with Pruitt. Thanks for your response. Go Vols!

Some fans need to understand that Pruitt has shown an inability to be a head coach and actually delegate responsibility. He micromanages to a point where we can’t win. He believes in a dead language for offense.

Why tf is this thread still at the top. I’m old enough to remember when Cades thread would get bumped it would get LOCKED and all new comments sent to the trash bin.

I have. I can tell you there’s more than depth issues going on. I doubt you have either so that’s a stupid arguing point. Using a double negative doesn’t make you sound remotely like a subject matter expert.

Yep. Someone should go tell Derrick Henry and the rest of the Titans that they’re running a dead language offense.

Are you really comparing Eric Gray to Derrick Henry? Or any of our receivers to AJ Brown? We don’t even have a Ryan Tannehill. Get out of here clown.
Edit: where’s our Jonnu Smith? That offense has some physical freaks and good luck replicating Henry.

That's the type of offense I think of when I hear Pruitt describe what he wants it to be. That was my point. Obviously we don't have NFL-calibur talent at every position...

No, we don’t have anything close to resemble that offense...

Dude, please go back and read your own post. I’ll wait...

You said he believes in a dead language offense. He wants a run first, throw off play action offense. I pointed out, albeit in a smart ass way, that the Titans run that style of offense. They’re one of the best teams in the league.

Were not talking about what the offense is... we’re talking about what he actually believes.

He believes in an offense that he can’t replicate. The NFL allows you to draft, sign free agents, and trade your way into running it effectively. Pruitt isn’t getting Henry, AJ Brown or Jonnu type recruit right now. Even Saban conformed to the new offenses of college football yet baldy is acting like he’s going to score 24 points and win against any legitimate opponent not named Vanderbilt consistently. You shouldn’t use the Titans as an example because they are an outlier solely because King Henry is a middle linebacker with Beast mode capabilities.

NOT meant as a political post, just a rant.

Had my first experience with THP today. And boy it was a doozy. For context, I am working from home, and my wife is currently 5 months pregnant, working as an Intensive Care Unit RN.

Wife leaves work this morning around 8 AM after working 14 hours taking care of extremely ill COVID patients all night. Gets stopped by THP for doing 57 in a 45. Not taking up for her, but it is a bit of a speed trap. So he starts the 20 questions stuff. Where you been, where you going etc. This drags on for almost an hour. She has her scrubs on with her work badge on. What pisses me off, is she had to call me to come pick her up due to being so damn sleep deprived she didn't feel safe to drive. So I take an hour of vacation to go take care of this. Issues a $300 ticket.

This evening I leave to go to the gym. I pass a THP officer on my little city road. Whips around and pulls me over. Says I was doing 45 in a 30. I was following 2 other vehicles. Officer claims " all 3 of you were speeding, but you were the easiest one to pull over." What kind of luck is this shizz? So I am in a rental since I wrecked my truck. I have had this rental since the shops are having a hard time getting all the parts. Dude absolutely drills me on why I have had a rental for for 46 days. I proceed to get the 20 questions. I knew he had a ticket in his hand, so I eventually say, "sir, I need to get to the gym so I can get back before a meeting at work." He hands me the ticket and says "Merry Christmas." $270 ticket. This whipping around and claiming they clocked someone doing such and such is speed while driving is a joke. I'm not even sure how fast I was going since I was just following the cars in front of me. More upset with how my wife was treated. Debating on attending the court dates.

Attend them. Especially your wife’s. He won’t come and it’ll get thrown out. If he does come, the judge will belittle the sh!t out of him. Rightfully so. That’s messed up. Prayers that your wife stays safe during this! Mine is 7 months pregnant this past Friday

Nice. When my wife and I first moved down here we lived in Mooresville. Love Lake Norman, but we both worked in Conord and it was too much of a commute. Live over by the Cabarrus country club now. I love the western Concord area, especially over by Odell School and Route 3
