This game was the exclamation point on it was always a rebuilding year.

[djones24]

Next year is our year! We been rebulding for 25 years now. Gone be something big ahead

Why is it acceptable that it’s a rebuild? The caveat was that we lost our QB. We actually ended up with equal to better QB play. This was a poorly coached team. THATS what this is.

Want to fire Heupel?

Want to fire Heupel?

No but I want Heupel to fire 2-3 assistants and start watching how other coaches manage the end of halves.

 

[VoLunTiTan7]

Still hurts:

 

[EezyE]

Mediocre attempt at justifying a mediocre season

 

[Volhoops]

We are in the NIL era. Every team rebuilds every year. Many people move from team to team every year whether they are starters or not playing. No that is trying to find an excuse.

We were one of the youngest rosters in the conference.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

We just lost to f***ing Vanderbilt. There is no excuse.

 

[Bud_Fox]

News flash. Next year with an unproven QB is a rebuilding year. This was supposed to be the year with a veteran QB that would be an up year. But the defense is horrible, which has nothing to do with the QB. I not even sure what Heupel’s plan is any more.

Explain to me how this roster isn’t a rebuilding year?

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

It’s a perpetual rebuild lol. Always some excuse

Once you start making excuses like that you’ve already lost.

It’s an awful loss. A dark day in program history for sure.

However to act like we can’t take a slight step back year over year is laughable.

It’s been a tough year.

 

[LLcoolDave]

Please explain how year 5 is a rebuilding year.

especially with the portal and NIL. Should be able to stack talent and plug and play.

Who built the roster?

 

[TikiVol]

I have heard the rebuilding year excuse 10 out of the last 15 seasons.

Brick by brick, we become Champions of Life!

And why would we ever think that would work? The portal is there for a reason. We’re playing like Dabo.

 

[Bud_Fox]

Who built the roster?

I think CJH had a bad year. I think we underachieved. I’m as a disappointment as a anyone.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

It is what it is.

It's apparently always a rebuilding year.

 

[Bud_Fox]

It's apparently always a rebuilding year.

Do you want to fire Heupel?

 

[wmcovol]

Other programs don't seem to have so many rebuilding years...

Did you spent 15 years in a time capsule?

 

[Boca Vol]

Please explain how year 5 is a rebuilding year.

And no one was calling this a rebuilding year during the 1st half of the UGA game!

 

[orangerush]

It is what it is.

Lol, every year is a rebuilding year at TN, in perpetuity.

 

[sonofUT62]

And no one was calling this a rebuilding year during the 1st half of the UGA game!

This team regressed. Badly on defense. I’m guessing that behind the scenes we will find out that the locker room was divided over a certain player no longer here.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

No but I want Heupel to fire 2-3 assistants and start watching how other coaches manage the end of halves.

THEN will it be a rebuilding year, if we're installing a new D? Is that the idea?

Winners don’t make “rebuild” excuses, or lost key player excuses, or any other type of excuse. Winners normally get very upset with themselves after a loss, learn from the mistakes that caused them to lose, and commit to winning the next battle.

Have you watched the players disposition after a loss? They’re laughing, having a great time, no fire, no will to win, no commitment to win. It’s just fun and games to some of the guys.

The difference between our Vols and Vandy is that our Vols are 4 and 5 star promadonna’s while Vandy has a team of 3 stars with Al Wilson’s mentality. They were more mentally prepared, wanted to win, and they have better position coaches, obviously.

We can use the rebuild garbage excuse but that doesn’t hold water with me. Our team has NO FIRE, NO DESIRE TO WIN. Sort of like their coach.
