Jeremy Pruitt wants to turn UT 'into something special' in 'marathon' rebuild

 

[chattavol420]

Yes...we dont have the roster to beat bama or uga. But stop acting like it’ll take years to be decent again. We lost to fing ga state and BYU. At home. A good middle school coach manages the game and emotions of his players (better than Pruitt did) and easily wins those games. Why are some unwilling to criticize how inept Pruitt has been this year and rather continue to exaggerate how little talent we have to work with. We still have one of the top 15 overall rosters in college football

But...marathons are fun!

Talk about the curse of lowered expectations.

Quit coming in here saying it’s not that bad when it is that bad. It will take years to rebuild because we crumbled for years. GA state only matters to weak minded people who can’t handle the truth, we can lose to a terrible team on a bad day. Teams have off days and we got caught. Coaches owned it and we’ve moved on. But the reality is we are bad enough to lose to anyone if we drop the ball. We have a bottom 125 roster brother wake up.

No way in hell do we have one of the top 15 rosters in college football. I am going to clue you in on something. In high school, college, middle school, pee wee...the team with more talent usually wins. I think you are living in the past my friend. This is nto a top tier program right now, but with hard work and rebuilding it can be a football factory once again.

I understand there’s a long way to go but I’ve never seen a program turn around if the current players don’t buy in, play with effort & excitement and the head coach is clueless.

It's more fun to start the race, veer off to the nearest pub, and get an uber to drop you off a half mile before the finish line.

A half mile? That’s too far, how about a quarter-mile?

Or...just hire the right guy for the job the first time and avoid the marathon altogether.

We actually prefer to hire the slowest runner, throw away the first 6 miles then run an extra 6 before getting rid of the runner long after the race is finished.

I hope your family members have all the sharp objects in the house up out of your reach. #LegionsOfTheMiserable

Can you give us your ranking the top 25 rosters?

Thought you might want to know that this year Georgia State has lost to Western Michigan and Texas State and just barely beat Furman . What does that say about our talent level and coaching ?

It says a lot more about talent level than coaching

 

[Dudleys87]

They say marathon now but let 3-4 years of below .500 records stack up and they quickly change tunes

 

[XknoxvolsX]

Fulmer doesn’t. But, he sure knows how to tear one down!

I think everyone knows what is needed, just patience has run thin recently. I believe Pruitt is still the man to make Tennessee great again.

Go Vols!

OP, keep pumping that shine!!!

Obviously it says more about the coaching; no matter where one thinks UT's roster should rank, we all know it's a better roster than Ga. State's and BYU's... even if somebody opines that the talent level is low, the head coach is responsible for that too.

 

[goldvol]

so the thread title is a list of 3 important Tennessee football coaches, and 1 disgraced high school coach. well, 3 out of 4 aint bad

Oh right. Because you obviously know more than the entire staff of 247 (where the top 15 roster comes from). Right and again...even if they missed on virtually every single prospect ranking...we’d still have more talent than ga state. Yet they took us to the woodshed at home.

 

[volfannbama]

Loving the excuse making and Propst predictions, worked out well for the florida game

Because there are so many on here that are more than willing to, and never miss an opportunity to, that we just feel we don't need to add to the redundancy.

We don’t even have a full roster, 247 says we are in the top 15 rosters in the country?

 

[Dudleys87]

There was something posted on here a few days ago the amount of people who’ve left or otherwise is a good starting point as to way Tennessee is terrible. ‘17 is start of an actual class working out and even then it’s a stretch

Congratulations! You have just elevated the level of lies trotted out on this forum by pumpers to an entirely new level of absurdity. You went boldly where no pumper had previously gone with your noxiously dishonest claim that somehow, miraculously, all of those four- and five-star athletes we have on our roster, all of them, were so incredibly overrated by every rating service from 247 to ESPN to Rivals etc. that they're all actually 0- and 1-star talent, and all of them have failed to develop even the slightest bit since they arrived on campus.

Stop lying. You make the world a worse place to be.
