Give it time kids

[Alex10]

I think we're all just tired of being asked to give it time. It's been over a decade of misery.

Yep, in the landscape of college football we’ve given it time, and more time, and then some more. It has not worked, not even a little. Our patience has paid off exactly jack ****. Hearing this same crap about patience is like nails on a chalk board. How about somewhere along the way just shut up and show us some freaking results. I gave it 10 years of patience and we are in worse shape than ever.

I'm not saying be patient, douche. I'm saying that this isn't Tennessee football and it's temporary.

Define temporary

 

[Matt2496]

It's not the fans fault. It start with the top. Our top sucks. We havent hired a proven guy since Majors.

Just to play devil's advocate, in a way one could say it is the fan's fault in the sense that we keep paying for tickets and supporting this mediocre crap.

Coaches didn’t give the ball up 6 times ..was the players..o line is a disaster....won’t get any better til we can block or hey maybe the qb read a blitz once in a while

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Define temporary

This guy isn't saying be patient, he's saying "hey this won't last forever so just wait a while longer"

Which is....being patient.

Wow never heard that one before. Tell us how Saban lost to UL Monroe and how he went 7-6 his first year at Alabama.

Yeah because he ran off everybody left in that program and won 10 games his 2nd year and a national title his 3rd year....You can't compare the 2

Helton is in over his head. Worst offensive playcalling I have seen since the clawfense.

He is making DeBord look like Bill Walsh so far.

 

[bigroxtar]

Bruh! Nobody needs you telling us everything is fine year in and year out when it’s clearly not. Now go to bed.

I never said that.

 

[orangesicle]

You are exactly correct.
Look at Notre Dame. They have gone down since Lou left in the 80's. Sure in 2010 Notre Dame got lucky and got to the National Championship only to lose big to Bama Notre Dame is still not back
Texas has fallen since Vince Young and championship
USC has fallen since Pete Carroll left
Penn State was down during Joe Pa's last few year and the Bill O Brien years
With us being in a tough conference and with constant coaching changes, it will take forever for us to recover
Last week a Bama fan at work said. ( Tennessee is so put of sink, they even Saban couldn't turn them around

" put of sink"? Must be a TN graduate.

Really? Clawfense was really really really bad.

 

[bigroxtar]

You do realize that TN has sucked for 10 Years!

More than you know.

10 years. Same bull sh it.

The only way I survive this is two things.

1. This is only f ing football. Life is bigger, thank God.

2. Tennessee will be back. At some point. Not sure when, but we will. That's the nature of football.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Pruitt should still get 3 years the most. Give him time to get his own guys in. (Improve the roster)

If we don’t see improvement, then we’ll know he’s not the guy.

But calling for his head after 3 games is incredibly dumb.

No one is necessarily saying he should be fired.

Plenty are starting to say he never should have been hired in the first place.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Don't trot out cliched posts we've been hearing for 10 years now.

Time will tell. Every cloud has a silver lining.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Yeah because he ran off everybody left in that program and won 10 games his 2nd year and a national title his 3rd year....You can't compare the 2

Then don't effin tell me about how Alabama sucked because you can't compare that either.

Agree. The administration treats it like a business. Perhaps the fans should too.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

The problem is UT's "one point" seems to last for year's

Well...its a big damned point lol

At least UT is competitive In BB and pretty damn good since Barnes arrived.
