With the many options for entertainment increasing, the game of football could lose an entire generation of fans. Decades of losing football could lead to empty seats at all games for the foreseeable future. If you don't capture the imagination and loyalty of young people will they ever become fans?

Power off tackle to set up playaction on offense. Stop the run and make the new Quarterback make turnovers.

Sorry. Typing too fast. It is a great looking uniform.

When one is a hole, quit digging it deeper. Some posters want to change coaches as soon as a problem arises. We tried and suck at that approach. Give him 3 years then evaluate. Or be non-competitive for the foreseeable future by having 5 coaches per decade. May be the best play under the...

If one looks at the orange color from the 50s uniforms, they look intimating as orange can be. Looks fantastic.

If coach Bryant took the job, some would say he drinks bourbon, smokes continually, curses, cheats, chaises the ladies, Gamble's, etc... He was an ultimate winner. Vol fans would still not be satisfied.

The reality of the current situation is- A. Coach is here unless a major scandal. B-. The quarterback, barring injury, will start. Under this scenario, if the young men keep playing hard and improving then a solid foundation will be set. Then the team can grow because of this basic foundation...

Needs third read- throw it out of the stadium. Anything to avoid a negative play.

The reality is Coach Pruitt isn't leaving, JG is the Quarterback. From a strategic view, if the team improves and always play with maximum effort then you start from a strong foundation and give Coach Pruitt a chance to get where we need to be. Or start over and 3 years later be on the same...

Just offer him a million dollars per victory. It's on him to earn it. It would be an awesome challenge for him.

We are rapidly approaching the point of irrelevance of the program and apathy of the fan base. If it is not corrected ASAP, this 15 year decline will have no bottom till Tennessee is like S.M.U. Trying to recover from the Death Penalty of our own making.

This program is at another turning point again. From a supporters point of view, patience will not be a virtue. It would seem to me this will be a 5 year minimum struggle. This will more than likely get worse. Unbelievable.

2005 is the starting point. At the start of that season the program was a top ten program historically and currently at that time. In 15 years it has fallen as fast and as far as any I can think of. Truly disheartening.

Very well stated. Reminds one of a classic statement by Michael Ray Richardson, " the ship be sinking."

As the football program keeps the downward trend going, where will the program be in a decade from now?
