Maybe they can fire Doug as well

used to enjoy his show. it really is just off the fly with him ranting now.

Firing all coaches loses relationships and costs an absurd amount to accomplish little....Optics wise, which recruiting seems is impacted by, its horrible. Pruitt has had massive attrition.

At that point you really should just rip the bandaid off. This investigation is a black eye iyam. Time for change.

Further, I just dont see how you can keep him in any real scenario.

This is a random statement and completely off topic but for the past week I've had a bad feeling, don't know how to explain it other than I feel apprehensive and I'm not sure why.

I just feel like something bad is going to happen. I'm sure this is some form of anxiety but I've had feelings like these before and they've been warranted. I just wanted to get this off my chest and see if anyone else gets feelings like these randomly. Am I the only one?

For the record I don't think this is Tennessee related.

I do get those feelings as well. My last time was a few months ago. The feeling was so strong that I called everyone in my family to see if anyone was in trouble. It happened the week my younger brother went downhill (COPD), was hospitalized, and passed away.

I don’t always get them - my brother-in-law died early yesterday morning and my “warning” didn’t go off before he went into the hospital...(he had Parkinson’s-like disease and had been slowly going downhill). His condition “crashed” and we lost him within three weeks.

These feelings have occurred a week or so before something bad has happened to people I love, to communities I’ve cared about, and to businesses I’ve been involved in.

I’ve had them often enough to trust them.

I was chilling about coaching changes until I watched those two coaches at the end of last night's game. One trying to push the other in to score, so they'd have time to score-- the other trying to get close to the goal without scoring. It was so great, even though Freeze's quarterback couldn't sit on the ball with all the crazy and he fumbled.

I want Freeze here, because he wants to be here. He has SEC experience, he's beaten Saban and he's a really good coach. If anyone reading these posts has power to push this forward, then I think this would bring us back. (and I agree with those that thing Mason would be a great DC)

You never really know what’s in a man’s heart, but it seems like Freeze has turned his life around. And whether we hire him or not that’s still a great thing to celebrate.

Thought the same. If his family can forgive him and move forward, any AD can move past any petty grievances towards a man they barely know.

Depends on who we hire. If our boosters bring us Freeze we will be headed that direction. Butch almost got us there twice and Freeze clobbered us in our only meeting (I remember fans telling me that our team reminded them of Freeze’s first OM team —scrappy but woefully under talented). I still would like to know what the turning point for Jones was that his teams went from street fighters to quitters even as the paper talent improved. At any rate, if Jones can almost win the SECe twice then Freeze should be able to get us there. He’s beaten Kirby, Mullen, and Saban before.

Players realized CBJ was nothing but a liar--i.e playing time, etc.

According to the guy that called Basilio's show a couple days ago he said he was around the program then he said Jones would let the players get away with anything not working out and so on. Jones had no control over the team. He said as far as recruiting Jones was better than Pruitt he said Pruitt won't even hardly bother to talk to instate HS coaches and so on

Based on What!? We've gotten worse this year than last year...It's been 3yrs and we suck... So Fulmer thinks Pruitt gets SIX F'n years!? Whatever... We all know there's several coaches within reach that will have this program rolling in less than 2.... Not sure what the great pumpkin thinks is gonna magically happen since our staff sucks, and no other new staff worth a tick will come knowing he's on the hot seat... so tired of hearing this idiotic BS....

Okay Phil, how about you sign an agreement that if you give gump 3 more years, if we are not going to the SEC Championship game by then, you BOTH with resign with zero buyouts? Sounds pretty fair to me if you are so confident to drag the fanbase in the ditch for another 3.... What's that? I didn't hear you? You've changed your mind? That's what I thought....

I'm trying to not read much into the subtweets with Freeze. But, I don't ever remember as much smoke around a coach and school before.
Is it Freezes team reaching out to the Media? Could it be some UT boosters and Freezes team?
