How does a school that is supposed to be one of the most prestigious when it comes to football, have fans that can only sit and worry about the next coach to leave or recruit to decommit? How can coaches and recruits consider UT a "dream job" if the fans are too insecure about their program to consider it to be one of the best football programs in the nation?

That's what happens when a fanbase goes all in with a staff, only to have them leave in the middle of the night.

It's the same with any school I'm sure when there's so much change in such a short period of time

You can't understand why we are a little more than heistant to be pounding our chests?

Straight up, we have been a middle of the road program for the last 6 years.

We have had 3 head coaches in the last 3 seasons...the program itself is unstable, thus we as fans are going to be unstable.

Most of the negativity on our boards is from trolls. rival school fans love to come to our boards and divide the fan base or at least make it appear so.:loco::loco:

Our fans are still recovering from having coaches that nobody else wanted for the better part of the last 10 years.

Well Gahlee and Little Vol Daddy both have good points. It seem like every day you get on here somebody asking or posting a thread on which one of our coaches could be leaving. After that worless piece crap that I consider dirt to have more purpose than that joke had and took his butt buddy with him you can see why we would be a little intense.

someone needs to define fan base. i often wonder how many people who post on here are season ticket holders? ever gave money to the scholarship fund? gifts to the university? those are the fans that the athletic dept pays attention to.

Not to hijack the thread, but I've noticed how hard it is for traditional powers to get the coach(es) they want over the last few years. I think the money has become so good at even lower tier schools for head coaches that many choose to stay (Thanks to Jimmy Sexton). How many universities actually get their first choice anymore? (Even though they all say they do) I wonder if that will also trickle down to the assistant and position coach level too, wherein even those coaches get paid so well they stay put more - or will ambition continue to drive them elsewhere?

Either way, it's better to have coaches other schools want because there's usually a reason they do...

Truer words have never been spoken. Fortunately the people of which you speak are in the minority. Unfortunately these same people are the loudest. It is what it is, fortunately their opinions don't mean crap in the views of coaches or recruits ... Relax, we are headed in the right direction.

I would look to Philip Fulmer's last 6 years for your answer.
