No, you freaking troll, the first sign that a coach's days are numbered, is the true fanbase is infiltrated with nasty trolls who start trying to tear down any good that is being done by the current administration--any real gains made by a coaching staff who has turned chickensh-t into chicken salad--but not maybe filet mignon yet. After chipping, chipping away, you'll finally get us another Butch Jones or Pruitt. I really wish there was a way to ban azz-holes like you from a true supporting fan-base/

It’s easy Don. The Ignore button is your friend. That clown joined my list a while ago.

I remember when Pruitt lost to Georgia State and BYU. VN melted down and everyone wanted him gone. As the season progressed and I posted that Pruitt wasn’t going to last, I was vilified and called a Nega. Lol

That wasn’t a high bar for predictions Phil. Kind of like saying the sun is going to come up in the morning or Derek Dooley or Butch Jones we’re going to say something stupid today. All were inevitable.

I always wonder if I am being lectured by someone whom actually donates and has season tickets. I know I've not enjoyed the constant prices increase versus results. My basketball and football tickets have doubled in cost in the last 3 years. And according to rumors, we lost our best coach because the AD shifted money from baseball to women's basketball. But everyone LOVES Danny. Most of them aren't paying for this, but they love to lecture.

So Heupel has a perfect play called and it’s not executed by the players is his fault ??? If a freshman ot ( which is expected he is a 18 yo kid !! ) makes a mistake it’s heupel fault ?? Wtf people get a grip. The sec is in the deep end of the pool , great players are on every team. Deal w it

If we are being honest with ourselves, the only time a head coach at Tennessee has made a significant staff change to save his job and it had an immediate, positive impact on our team's performance was when Fulmer fired Randy Sanders and brought Cutcliffe back. Other than that, I cannot recall another time where a head coach made a staff change, especially at the coordinator position, and it saved the coach's bacon. In fact, in most cases things got worse after the staff change.

Majors fired Ken Donahue in the middle of the disasterous 1988 season. We went 11-1 the next year, were SEC co-champions and finished #5 in the final polls

I'm fine with it Shirley. It's clear we need a championship regime in town. Or we can just keep on expecting more and consistent blunders. Those are some pretty good excuses tho. . Maybe collect them into a collage and sell them to excuse makers all around the 🌎...

Frustrated fanbase. Not unlike any other big time college football fanbase in the country.. All have their vocal minority. Most of us remember the last 3 hires and others have short memories.. You don't want to be coach shopping right now. The pickings are slim..

Name calling? Do you need your safe space? You are ignorant because you keep demonstrating it in your posts.

No sir. Im good. I just notice who can't accept a difference of opinion without the little bich like insults. But if that's where we are then it's cool with me. My opinion of this garbage football loving fan base who was still hollering playoff talk while we can't even win a single game against a team with a pulse is that they're pretty ignorant.


I just chose to use facts and stats about the season and the actual CPF rules to express how silly i thought you mother****ers were.

Guess I pissed a few of you fukks off. Cool. We'll sling mud both ways then. Enjoy your dumbass football bowl game and pray for the next year. Again. It will happen soon.

Losing to Georgia because our field goal kicker misses an easy field goal? Is that the “pretty bad manner” of losing of which you speak?
Yes Heupel could have set him up better; but it is the ONLY such chance we have had in a decade.

I’m as disappointed as anyone about the Oklahoma game and us having 3 losses this season.

I don’t think CJH has had his best year as a HC. In game decisions and clock management have been an issue this year. I think that’s fair.

However, if you are ready to move on from CJH right now you are beyond ignorant. Did you forget the last 15 years? They really sucked before CJH. Careful what you wish for.

Based on what we’ve seen in the last four-plus years, how many of us think we actually have a shot at winning a national championship under Coach Heupel…at least somewhere down the road?

How many of us think we have a chance of making the CFP?

To me, it seems the best we could possibly hope for—again, based on what we’ve seen—is to maybe once again have the stars align and win 10-11 games…at best. That seems to be our ceiling, at least from where I sit. It is what it is.

I don’t agree with your assessment of the stars needing to align for 10-11 wins or ceiling with CJH…

But for discussion’s sake, let’s say you’re correct… answer me this:

Do you want to blow everything up right now and roll the dice with another coach?

Ask Auburn, Florida… you can have 3-4 losing seasons in a row in a blink of an eye.

Very, very, very few coaches last that long so if you want a victory lap for predicting a college coach will be fired, that's like taking a victory lap for calling it that a politician will lie to you repeatedly.

Go for it. I'll slow clap for you. Pat yourself on the back and buy yourself a beer. Good job, Captain Obvious.

Those are quite obviously stupid questions and completely irrelevant to the questions I asked.

So what exactly was the point of your original statement? 😂

So you have our ceiling at 10-11 wins based on what you’ve seen… So are you suggesting a coach who has ‘only’ gotten to 10 or 11 wins can’t win a national title because you haven’t seen it from them before? LOLOL 😂

That take is so dumb and makes literally ZERO sense.

Dooley, Jones, and even Pruitt had staunch defenders right up to the end. Posters who called anyone talking about that coach's shortcomings a "nega-vol" or "ignorant". Those posters told the rest of us to shut up and let the coach do his job. The question "have you ever coached college football" seems to be a favorite of that very loyal, die-hard crowd. They often drift into ad hominem attacks on posters who disagree with them. Not sure why that is a trait but it is.

IMHO, Heupel is a much better coach than Dooley, Jones, or Pruitt. He is a solid coach, who will win 7-9 games every year, with an occasional 10 win CFP season. A lot of that is based on the fact that he has Tennessee's brand behind him. IMHO, Heupel just isn't the dynamic, proactive personality type that is going to win 10 games most years, with 11-12 win seasons sprinkled in. There aren't that many of those types out there, and if your program snags one (ala Saban, Dabo, etc) you hang onto that coach for dear life. Early on, Fulmer was that type, but for whatever reason, he got happy and complacent after his NC season.

This would be a HORRIBLE time to fire anyone and go coach shopping. Heupel is our date, and we might as well dance with him for another year or two. Who knows, maybe the light clicks, and he realizes that simply REACTING to things will NOT win championships. I don't think that is going to happen, but it might, I guess.

Until then, I expect 7-9 wins each year, lots of 'things to clean up' after every game, and a lot of 'uhs' and swaying back and forth. Then again, after 3-4 years of Pruitt murdering the English language, I am grateful that Heupel at least conjugates verbs properly. Our standard here got pretty low. :)
