Tennessee fans are patient, the past decade of Tennessee football has made us this way. I think most fans believe in you, we also feel like your previous coaching has not developed your potential. New coaching staff, new offensive schemes, new defensive schemes, it's a lot to take in. Before the season, I was very optimistic about the won-lose record this year, predicting a 9-3 season. I thought that the only three games that would be losses were Georgia, Auburn, and Alabama. Now I realize how overly optimistic I was. Maybe you won't win a lot of games this year, but at least give your best effort every snap of every game. As fans, we can live with the losses if you play hard for sixty minutes. Don't ever take the field with the mindset that you are going to lose. That is unacceptable. Play with pride and determination and we will accept the loss if the other team is just better. Listen to the coaching staff and put into practice what they are teaching you. This team is basically the foundation Coach Pruitt will build on, so give it your all, all the time.

Not a shot at you or your post.

I’d be genuinely curious to know how many current players read this forum on gameday.

I’m not sure how many players are on here, seems there have been a few relatives posting.

Remember when VFL34 was posting as Travis Stephens, too bad it wasn’t legit.

Past player I would pick to have here as a regular would be Al Wilson.

Current player I would pick as a regular would be Paul Bain. He is legend.

Any past or current player would be appreciated for legit inside info on how things are going in the locker room.

Is it the new schemes or is it players wanting to have it all without putting in the work that it takes to be great?
