It's like we are listening to the same crappy song on repeat

Johnny Majors would have been fired after his first four years; if he coached during this time.

Listen, Majors was a NC winning coach when he came here.

Pruitt has never been a HC.

I can guarantee you that if we would have hired someone like Jimbo Fisher, he would be given more time than 4 years.

UT just likes hiring loser coaches.

Since Fulmer was fired, we have only hired one coach that had a winning record before coming here.

Let that sink in.

Coaching search...AD promises the world. We hire an up and coming "rising star". It is beaten into us the new coach has a good pedigree or coached under a great coach. Great recruiter, players love him. He wants to be here and that's what is important.

Then the wins don't come, recruiting busts, player issues abound, and the dumpster fire reignites.

Then, we do it all over again.

It's because we are. It's just like politics. They tell you what you want to hear to gain support and trust. Then comes reality and a kick to the groin followed by promises of change and improvement only to set the same set of fools up for another round of the same.

And....here we are again.

But, let's face it, the 2-3 week coaching search flailexs are about the most entertaining part of UT football these days.

I mean seriously, in 2017 our AD went MISSING for almost a day as he flew to the west coast and tried to hire The Pirate. You can't make this stuff up.

With Phlegmatic Phil leading the next search, the comedy will reach all time next-level proportions.

It doesn't matter. You could say the same thing about Jimbo and Jameis Winston.

I've seen many bad coaches squander good talent.

All I'm saying is to not compare a NC winning coach with a HC that has zero experience.

Surely you see the difference?

Johnny Majors was my favorite UT coach. Loved his after-game locker room interview. But, Johnny never got UT to the "promise land." Very close in some seasons; but no "cigar." And frankly, Johnny's winning percentage was OK, but not that great. His teams lost some "stinkers" in those early year. But he was my all-time favorite coach.

Went back to this timeframe and looked at a lot of the posts. A few of us were dealing in reality, many were dealing in delusion. One hilarious post in a thread had a poster saying they can't wait too look back at the critical comments in 3 years when we are owning Florida and going toe to toe with Georgia and Bama. Please, do go back and look at those comments.

Does anyone think the next coaching search will end any better?

Here are some questions.

1). Will the Haslams still be involved with the university?

2). Will Fulmer still be the AD?

3). Will we still have the same BOT members?

If the answer to those questions is yes, then the answer to your main question is NO. The next coaching search will be another cluster**** that sees us end up with yet another lackluster hire.

He is becoming that way to me. The last of the old school „gentlemen“ coaches. Sportscoat and tie but no nonsense when it came to the game of football. They were THE Coach and you knew it.
