Current (and Former) Player Reactions

[BIGAL27]

I’m to the point where we bring this guy in, welcome him, support him and help him bring this program back! Get the twitter recruiting machine rolling and do some positive tweeting. If you’re against this hire, at least fake it and give the impression that we’re united, because for it or against it, no one that matters cares what we think. We might as well make the best of it. I’m sick of all the in fighting between fans, coaches, boosters, administration, players... At this point, the guy hasn’t lost a game at Tennessee and has a lot of things working against him. Do I think it’s a slam dunk? Maybe not. Is it the first choice I wanted? No. Am I willing to roll with him? Go Big Orange!
Losing is bad enough, without us fans adding toxicity to it.
GBO!!

Amen brother

Guys I think this offense has potential written all over it with the skill position players we currently have in place. Now if our defense can be in the top 50 next year we could have a punchers chance in a lot of our games!

Don't players know that middle aged posters on a message board know better than them?

I like AT... but i hope he isnt referring to fans of the program since before he was born (like myself) as “outsiders”. I was inside before he was inside the womb!

There's a divide between the players and fans right now and it's really sad to see and hear about

Most on hear honestly believe it, most delusional fanbase in the country also most made fun of

Same quotes and pats on the back as when Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt was hired.

This x1M.

Stop the toxicity. It's the situation we're in. Hopefully he can win here and bring some much needed consistency and stability

It’s crazy how people will blindly follow whatever they are fed isn’t it? I was one of those people for every hire since post Kiffin. I think a lot of people are trying to find some way of convincing themselves this is a good thing

Serious question, shouldn't they have been anyway?

So three hours in and we have a grand total of 4 or 5 players or former players on board? Can you smell that wet fart we just hired?

Sure but his offense is a track meet. Will be faster than they're used to

 

[SpeedyVOL]

We may look a lot like Ole Miss next year. They had a wide open offense and a below average defense. If I remember correctly, they were in most games. They were even competitive with Bama for a good portion of the game.

You could go check it out and let us know what you find

Something tells me you were gonna whine no matter the hire.

lol I will pass.

If the players are satisfied with it then that helps, alot.

The portal will tell the truth on that.

I really hope Alontae Taylor turns into the alpha male he seems to have become here lately. Go Vols!!!

Agree!!! He’s All Vol

Yeah, I know. Just wondering if we'll hear the players knock Pruitt's practices like they did Butch Jones. If so, may explain why we seemed soft/slow on the field at times.
