Watching this game, how do you honestly believe we have a shot against UGA or USCjr? If we keep playing like this, we'll be lucky to beat Vandy and Mizzou.

I'm not going to assign blame to certain players or coaches, but as Head Coach, it rests on CBJ's shoulders to fix this and fix it soon. I'm not seeing progression on the field myself. In fact, it seems like we are regressing. Even if we suddenly explode to finish this game, a game is four quarters. We won't beat the Georgia's or the USCjr's or even the Vandy's of the world playing half a game. Butch needs to pull it together.

And please save the rebuilding excuses. We have enough talent on this team that we should be shutting down South Alabama with ease. The problem is execution.

This is embarrassing to be honest. QB can't sustain a drive and it's wearing the defense down. Butch Jones is being out coach horribly.

This team is a joke. We don't stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning a sec game. This program is the doormat to the sec. And it doesn't look like our players care. They don't even look like they are playing to win this game.

This team has certainly not progressed. I think Worley is the biggest problem.

Sloppy game, worst of the year. The effort hasn't been there consistently. We should be up by 3-4 TDs.

I keep trying to tell myself that Dooley left the cupboard bare, which he did. But in no way should South Alabama be competing with us. We may not have middle of the road SEC talent, but we certainly have more talent that South Alabama by a long shot.

Hard to watch. Don't deserve to win. Lose this and things will get much worse this year.

Good grief. When will we hit bottom?

You have to have concerns about the coaching staff right now. BUT, I'm not ready to oust the staff. I keep going back to the fact that Saban lost to LA-Monroe his first season at Alabama. It takes to e to turn these things around.

I'll give you the only optimistic scenario I can muster: Mike Hamilton, Dooley, Jones and even Kiffin have a joint press conference where they announce to Tennessee fans that this has all been a really sick practical joke. I'm sorry that's all I got. I'm still holding out for this to happen.

This roster is trash, notice since day 1 all the freshmen are playing harder/better than their upperclassman counterparts. There's a reason for that; years of loser mentality has percolated into the rest of the team under FOOLEY'S tenure.

A lot to be said about this.

I'm not ready for a "Fire Butch" mentallity yet, but dammit, why are we not seeing game to game improvement? Are the coaches not watching the game tapes and pointing out player mistakes? Are they not coaching the players to fix these mistakes? It's ridiculous. I could handle some losses if we showed we learned from our mistakes, but obviously, we don't learn squat.

The coaching has been bad. Really bad. Maybe Butch does just need to get his players, but a good coach can put something together with the pieces he has until he gets the players he needs. Butch and staff has yet to do that.

I still have hope. But I understand that does not mean squart with the way this team is playing right now.
