I’m probably one of the biggest hatters of DW on this board. Nice to see lady vol fans join in, but even I don’t want the man gone. I just want him to get his ish together. Football falls off the cliff this year then he absolutely needs to go. And it’ll be his own fault for trying to follow rules in a lawless land
Couldn’t agree more. Some/many of the comments on here are just pure hatred for a person who did not seek the job - but took it when offered. She had a more than respectable year 1. Stumbled in year 2 due to her own doing, and some situations which she could not control. Many posters on here continue to attack her in a brutally personal way. Those that do so are more than likely malcontents - unhappy with their own disappointing lives and it makes them feel better to trash others to elevate themselves.To a fanbase that the loudest section is showing hate for a 2nd year HC. I'd say she's locked in on getting the right players this time around with a better assistant coach evaluators. This will be the last year if not, I think the coaches went for MCD players without enough assessment just trying to say on on paper we got the #2 class that & 3$ will get you a loaf of bread. They were worse in the portal ended up with toxic players and the returners for UT Coop & Z needed on floor leader they were all followers and then lose Ruby.
Doing stupid stuff like wasting 2 spots to get one player to win the recruiting battle by bring along a sibling that is a DII player, was ridiculous. I think you need to get behind the team because IMO their going to bring in Ferrari from FSU and if things go totally bad he may be interim coach as the season goes along. It is what it is, taking pot shots at the team to relieve some of your anxiety is not helping the team and brand move forward in the long run. You are doing auxiliary damage to the brand that you supposedly love. It just cements this is a coaching graveyard, with a fan base that wants the final 4 every year in a conference that had 5 or 6 potential F4 teams. USC, Vandy, LSU, Texas & Oklahoma to name 5 it is gauntlet. Name any top coach that would come here to hear that's not how Pat would have done it, "by gawd' as they spit tobacco & it runs down their chin.
CKC is going to be the HC just get behind the team and then bring your torches and pitchforks out in December next year if that's what your mode of operandi is.
So many people want to move the goal post . The way DW raises money he's not going anywhere unless he decides. Football and men's basketball are the main driving force for any AD and it's in good hands at the present time. Football may have some trouble with a first year starting QB but things are looking upward.
Kudos to the team for beating UConn and Ohio State last year, but didn’t we play on the very first day of the SEC tourney last year after going 8-8 with a pretty favorable schedule? Oklahoma. South Carolina, one of the LSU games, Ole Miss, and Alabama were all home games. We only played Texas, Kentucky, LSU one game, and Vanderblit away. We lost to Vandy twice for the first time. We had to go on the road for the NCAAs. If anything, it was a very up and down year. We could beat Iowa but lose to Georgia.
I've been saying all along something was happening inside the program. Actually you would have to be blind not to see the whole thing coming apart. This problem got worse as the year progressed. So many actions from players were totally out of line and she just didn't know how to fix it. I believed everything the reporter was saying because I seen the results.
It will take a major fall this year for him to be fired. Next year might be a different story. It's actually the NCAA's fault fir not policing all the tampering. With all the trouble we dodged with Pruitt, I guess he feels we need to toe the line for awhile anyway. Remember were not Bama, they would try and bury us if the opportunity presented itself, imo.
