Well you have guys like Thamel saying "this is what you get when you have an AD with no experience" and carrying that Haslam water as though it wasn't exactly like this when they were more front and center and firing him as HC. It's been like this since Dickey retired but we're supposed to forget the last 15 years and pretend Fulmer was somehow our AD the entire time and at fault.

I’m really not trying to be a jerk but most have 3 generations of education from the University of Tennessee in our families. Certainly isn’t uncommon.

Yes but are those 3 generations "rooted". You see there's a difference. Just 3 generations isn't anything special. But 3 rooted generations, well let's just say thats a different story.

The sad part is we could have avoided all of this.

In early Nov. we could have pulled the plug on Pruitt and kept the investigation privately.

They could have dealt with the infractions and just reported violations as needed.

We might have missed on a few of the early signees. Oh well.

We could have then named a coach early Dec. salvage signing day and hire a staff.

Oh well.

let’s see how it ends before we say this.

I mean look at USCe. They did all the things you mentioned and it’s a **** show there right now.

I think the problem is Haslam and Anderson take turns making bad football decisions.

About to be competing with Florida for candidates

I really don't think that Mullen cares whole lot about recruiting, tbh. Wouldnt surprise me, but it feels like he's trying to get florida to "appreciate" him more.

However, he could get the Jets job and I can almost guarantee Florida's first 2 calls, in no particular order, would be Freeze and Kiffin because they like winning and don't worry about feelings.

Wait, is Wanya really going to enter the portal?? Just checked, and he's not in there as of yet. Doesn't mean he won't enter soon. Is that from a reliable source?

It's this freaking indecision. Kids want to know who their coach is going to be. We start losing guys like Wanya and we're screwed even worse than I thought. **** it. Fire Boyd and Plowman too for allowing this **** to drag on without resolution. Fire Fulmer. Fire Pruitt. Fire the entire AD. I'm ****ing pissed that we might be about to fall completely apart. This is ridiculous. Take your thumbs out of your asses and make a decision and act. How ****ing hard could it be??

Him saying we're a laughingstock is quite hilarious tho because the SEC hasn't been paying a bit of attention to us nor has the public at large. We have nothing going on officially yet he comes out with the narrative to try and create one. Clearly, we've got folks ballsy enough to create a false self-serving narrative. I just wish they had the balls to admit that they are tearing down the entire program because their egoes got bruised last coaching search.

What's worse than a **** show because that's where we are.? Hell, I'm envious of SCar right now if our good players start transferring.

AP said he has heard this but he's not there yet. He also mentioned rumors had swirled around Carvin and Calvert as well.

Was it Wanya who posted “Guess I’m the scapegoat” after a game? He removed it quickly from Twitter

I said this months ago but this is Cuonzo Martin's end of days all over again. That quote from Wanya makes me wonder how long Pruitt's been harboring an 'us vs them' attitude. No one scapegoated Wanya but clearly someone said something to make him feel sensitive enough to say that. A lot of times that sensitivity only shows up when the water has been poisoned ahead of time.

Who needs an OL anyway, right?

This is so ridiculous. Get this **** over with. Either fire Pruitt or announce he's being retained, BUT DO SOMETHING!
