Now is a good time for NegaVols to jump ship

[slickmo3]

Now is the perfect time to purge the fanbase...if all you can bring to the table is negativity and ignorant suggestions then just go...go right now! They are giving you an out! People will understand you just couldn’t take it anymore...find yourself another team. For the betterment of those of us who can debate rationally, and not say “Hugh to the Hill” every 10 minutes...just go! You hate this AD, this coach, this administration, this university SO DAMN MUCH, then GO!!!! Nobody is stopping you.

lmao, hey sheep, who said they hate the university SO DAMN MUCH? get out of here with your loser-lover mentality

Second comment *negative*

what do you expect? the post was ridiculously wooly and sheepish

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Hey! Another NegaVol! Tell him what’s he’s won Johnny!

Do you have any idea how silly your OP was? And now replying with inane comments to anyone that disagrees with you?

There are many many fans who have followed this team through the good and bad years for longer tham you have held season tickets. Many of these same folks want the best for the team and the program. Currently the staff we have does not meet that standard. Waiting someone in charge who doesn't embarrass the program is something every fan should want, IMO.

I am an optimist in every sense of the word. However, i also am a firm believer that the sooner and obvious issue is dealt with the sooner happiness and success returns.


Ignoring a skin cancer because going to the doctor is painful physically , emotiinally and finacially, will not help your situation.

If they can't support Pruitt then they need to find another team to support.

Buddy, being able to go to games is no litmus test for dedication or fandom. Personally, know a number of people sit in the boxes and rub elbows with the big-wigs that want this coaching regime gone, but I also know people who have had season tickets in their family for generations that are just happy to stand at the Vol walk and sit in the stands - like you - that are happy to keep these guys.

Put simply, your schtick of fan shaming because you disagree with someone's opinion is tired. You have yet to articulate what this coaching staff has done well that would entitle them to retain their positions at the University of Tennessee.

What of the past three seasons have we achieved that would be acceptable to any of our rivals? If the answer is nothing - which I'm telling you it is - then we are doing nothing but falling further behind.

Lol, what a crock of ****. Have to blindly support anyone wearing orange or you arent a fan. This ****ing mentality is just weak.

You seem to know a lot about me...I’ve lived through the glory years and I’ve lived through the s**t show we have going now...I was out on Dooley early, I was out on Butch early, but all of a sudden since i believe in a coach I’m a sheep...I seen some things last year that gave me hope that this guy has it in him to be a good head coach, SUE ME! This season I saw a lot of the opposite, BUT i happen to think the program doesn’t lie solely on CJP....he’s a great defensive mind, he’s a good recruiter, he has been part of championship teams on the highest level in CFB...he knows what it takes...unlike Dooley and Lyle who had never been on this stage...the stage isn’t too big for Pruitt....but the drama queens just wanna make it all more than what it is....there’s been a lotta bad with Pruitt thus far, but I’ve seen promise as well....and people get so damn crazy when I say ANYTHING positive at all about Pruitt...but last year those same people were sayin “we got us a ball coach yeehaw!” It’s tired and played out...like a bunch of drama filled women

Maybe now is the perfect time for Pruitt pumpers to jump ship.

Or Butch holdovers to go to Arky ST.

Just out of curiosity...when Pruitt does get fired, and I fully expect it even tho I’m not happy about it, who do you think we should go hire? I’m interested to hear this..

ANYONE

As a fan of Tennessee, with Pruitt I have zero hope.

As a head coach:
He is 16-19

more than 1/3’rd of his total games ends in a blowout loss

He hasn’t even been competitive vs the “good” competition

He has beaten just 1 team who finished the season ranked, while also losing to many unranked teams (and those who finished the season unranked)

His actual coaching his been a head scratcher at times.......and his team looks totally undisciplined much of the time.

Player development leaves a lot to be desired

Assistant coaching turnover........shows disfunction.......it’s been terrible

Inconsistency in almost every aspect

Again.........I can “at least” have some hope......with ANYONE they bring in......I have none with Pruitt.

But here are a few names who I think would certainly be a better option that the 16-19 Pruitt.

Freeze
Fickell
Herman
Malzahn
Campbell
Napier

Heck we could add a crap load to this list......as to who could be better than Pruitt........every coach, any coach.....maybe none but there would be opportunity and a chance.

Yep your right. EVERY coach you named would most likely be as good or better than Pruitt...but the huge fact you just don’t seem to understand is that ZERO of those coaches are gonna get this job...either because of the Administration or by their own account...do you think Luke Fickell, Matt Campbell, Tom Herman, Gus Malzahn, or even Napier is going to take This job after where we will be sitting after this investigation? your clueless pal...since we are playing fantasy land I’m gonna go in here and bang Carrie Underwood real quick...

My bad guy, I didn’t know you were part of the coaching search. I didn’t realize that your opinions were actually “facts.”

Campbell certainly would be a tough pull.

The rest could probably be had for the right $.

Also........just who is actually clueless? You are actually claiming some of those coaches won’t come because of the investigation?? Didn’t you say: “this investigation BS isn’t going anywhere”?

What makes you think Pruitt is a good coach? He looked out coached almost every game in both scheme and personnel management.

Okay, now this is more like it. I, too, thought we should have fired Dooley after the Kentucky Loss and Butch after he lost to South Carolina and then Vanderbilt to blow both the East and a Sugar Bowl berth.

Our disagreement therein lies with the fact that I have seen a coach lose to every team with better talent than him, and many teams with less talent, and this past season felt like he was totally in over his head. The lack of any continuity from year to year on his staff is disconcerting; I know staffs shuffle at many places, but there is a possibility that no one from his initial staff is remaining at the beginning of next season if he is retained. The offense has been atrocious, and even during our winning streak EVERYTHING seemed so difficult on offense for a team that had legitimate weapons. Now, the defense has fallen into the dumps, and in Pruitt's prospective fourth season there will be a significant dearth of playmakers on that side of the ball. Our defensive line is depleted, we have one linebacker that would start on any other SEC team, and I don't think we have a single defensive back that would start anywhere else, maybe Alontae. As with any Saban assistant, he has stood on the sideline for Championships, but I agree that he appeared to have a legitimate pedigree when he was hired. It just hasn't panned out, and that happens. Some guys are just meant to be coordinators.

I don't disagree that the complaints feel tired and played out, either, but when you're persistently bad, complaining is going to occur until it gets fixed.

I respect your opinion...and you make great points...it doesn’t always have to be over the top and ugly just because people don’t see eye to eye....

OP is an example of why no one wants to coach here. For THIS fan base? Better off somewhere else.
