If you read that with your brain working properly, I wasn’t carrying water for anyone. The whole team has disappointed for the most part. It’s on coaching first and foremost, secondly the players have to execute. I fully grasp the amount of suckitude going on, trust me.

You need to work on your sentence structure then because the implication I definitely accrued from your quote was that Tennessee is only a QB away

You did say "visit," right?

I am just messing with you. Lots of OCD people over here. The rando threads do kind of mess up the flow, but I don't get all that bent out of shape. However, not clicking on your alerts is a fighting offense.

Also, lets say Pruitt wins 7 next year, I saw someone on TOS who has connections that said 7 would get him another year. Then Pruitt makes the jump in year 5 to 8-9. Lets say Pruitt wins 7 then 8 the next two years, this isn't counting bowl games just regular season, he's looking at 31-28 or as many as 33 wins counting bowl games. Where does Tennessee go at that point?

I don’t. He won’t quit on his guys. They’ll have to fire him.

I think it’s more of him being forced to step down due to some circumstances that have not been made public. This is just a hunch with how the season has gone. The team seems disconnected since halftime at Georgia along with the Brumbaugh firing and whatever AV alluded to this summer that he said may or may not get out. I know it’s a lot of speculation but so is everything we are currently discussing.

You couldn’t write a Hollywood script better than a full circle Kiffin reunion...ESPN and SEC network would have a field day showing old clips and talk of the “prodigal son” return.

Also I don’t understand the fans and administrators saying what he did to us was unforgivable, he had a ridiculously low buy out and didn’t hesitate to leave for his dream school. If I moved out to the west coast and worked my way up to being the head coach at UCLA and Tennessee offered me the job after my first year in coaching I wouldn’t hesitate to move my entire family back home to get that opportunity. I blame the AD and movers and shakers for allowing him to walk without a negotiation or finding a proper replacement.

I think some of the concern with freeze is recruiting. Considering what unfolded there at Ole Miss, the moment he gets a big 5* guy to commit here we may get unwanted eyes that start to look around. That’s what you don’t want. Because we all know you have to give the 5* some “Benefit” in order to compete with all these other schools that want him aswell.

Are you sh!tying me dude!? I would legit fight you for saying that. That’s how much it means to me. But I’m not gonna groan constantly and squeal for a diaper change every single day about it. I choose to be hopeful no matter what cuz I wasn’t raised to be a coward and shrug my shoulders saying “Oh well, you’re the problem.” I have tonnnnnsss more emotional investment than you seem to possess with this team. I wanted nothing more than when I grew up to play for this university and I was never good enough to. Didn’t stop me trying! You seriously need to think about what you say sometimes

Also, I want nothing more than us to curb stump the eff out of everyone just the same way Bama has done the last 15+ years. So don’t tell me I don’t give a rip.

To be fair as well. Kiffin's record at USC wasn't terrible and the bigger issue was 1 he was too young still, 33-34 and he was there at the time USC was put on sanctions for the Reggie Bush stuff, so he wasn't a complete flop there.

Nope, we are going to wait and let him "grow" at Ole Miss, then boom Saban retires and Bama takes him out from under our noses. We then end up with Rayne Kitten as our next HC

You see the faulty logic there, right? If Bama wants anybody and that guy wants Bama, Bama could pluck him out of UT as easily as they could pluck him out of wherever.
