This guy is stupid. This has nothing to do with the fans, and everything to do with the mismanagement of the University of Tennessee athletics department for some 15+ years running.
Yes, Tennessee fans are passionate, and yes, Tennessee fans are seething right now. And we are a hornets nest right now. Any other top team's fan base in the SEC would react the same way if their fans have been subjected to the complete incompetence of the leadership of the AD and the university for as long as we have.
This is not a fan problem. It's a leadership problem. Period. And part of the leadership's job is to manage the fans and the outrage. Simply put, they've handled it badly. That is the problem, not that the fans are PO'd and have high expectations.
