Combined list of all our bowl projections

I noticed today we made the new 'Bottom 25' in the new college football rankings but yet we are talking about a bowl game. Unreal
Seriously, with everything that's happened this season, it was a loss to the 6th ranked team in the nation that put the Vols in the Bottom 25? And what's even more remarkable about that is that JG wasn't on the field for even one play.

All double digits loses. 6 in a row and possible 7 with A&M if candy bails. There shouldn't be a bowl game as a reward for that kind of performance

Agree that we don’t deserve a bowl game. The glass half full is that it would provide additional practice time. The glass half empty is that it would be the same coaching staff “developing” the players.

It is absolutely ridiculous that this team would even be considered to be in ANY bowl game whatsoever.


This vol team is very very sick and can barely raise its head off the ground, a Bowl Game should be out of the question

He, and all of the coaches, should decline the bonus with a sense of self-awareness that they as coaches did nothing to make this team "bowl eligible" with a 3-7 record.

Again, if Fulmer were good at his job, he'd decline a bowl invite for a 3-7 record, for the sheer fact that accepting it means that the university has to pay Pruitt an additional $200,000, and all of the assistant coaches get a bonus equal to 8.33% of their annual pay.
have we lost 7 games? i thought we were 2-6....?

Based on a article in the Knoxville News I just read the whole staff has waived any bonus they would receive if invited to a bowl. The savings would be around $325,000.

That's sporty of them.

bowl games are supposed to reward teams. UT does not deserve to be rewarded for this disaster of a season.

It should e more than that considering Pruitt gets $200k, and the rest of the assistants get 8.33% of their annual salary.

Get Shrout and Bailey more experience as well as the coaching staff. You guys forget that our staff is young and needs more seasoning. They are forgoing bonuses. Keep working through January and get everyone vaccinated and eligible academically. 2021 will be the year it all comes together.

TN should not go to a bowl. They have not earned it. Look at the quotes from Boston college HC and the bowl game this year. That's what TN should do. If they go it should only be so Freeze can coach the game and see what he has.
