This is why good coaches choose not to come here.

Incredibly stupid expectations.

With all due respect, this isn’t the reason. That comment (and other similar ones) are incredibly stupid, but it isn’t the reason. I believe the reason is because of the “leadership” shortcomings and lack of commitment from the university, from the President, to the chancellor, to the wrong-headed boosters. Just a few phone calls to the right people would’ve dissuaded any “top coach” from coming here imo.

The play calling has been offensive, for sure.
Helton is not SEC material. In over head.

Unfair to a coach worker on his oline development.
I like what I have seen in the sets and personal for the situations. Can’t wait to see what he does when we can block and have the full offense in.

I think the play calling has been good. Helton even made great adjustments in the wvu game, but the OL, God bless them, just can't execute at the SEC level

The litmus test for this team is the UF game. Simple as that. WVU taught us that this will be a learning, and rebuilding, year. ETSU taught us that we can win on weight and talent against a bad FCS team. Expect the same Saturday against a bad FBS team. When UT is the biggest gorilla in the ring, they win.

So the UF game will tell us what to expect moving forward. This team will get better as the season progresses, but moving from 4-8 just to 6-6 would be progress. Better explained, moving from 0-8 to 4-4 in the SEC is huge progress. If UT can do that, and the UF game is a "must win" for that scenario, then this becomes a 7-5 team. Puts Pruitt in the running for "Most Improved", and rightfully so.

Again, this team will get better as the season progresses, but so does the competition. If we are going to compare UT to another SEC program, let's start with UF...who we get at home; Kentucky, who we get at home; Mizzou, who we get at home; and Vandy, who we play on the road. Win three of those four, and we're on the right track. Win all four, and we're ahead of the curve.

It starts with UF. History favors the Gators. We have learned how to lose to them. Let's see if Pruitt and staff can teach them how to win. Do that, and we're on our way back.

Go Vols.

Helton I’m sure has lots of plays he’d love to call that would hurt defenses. But he’s forced to only call plays the offense as it is now has the ability to execute. It must be frustrating for the guy.

It's really simple,,,,it's a good play when the play works,it's a bad play when it doesn't work.

Seriously tho,it's still hard for me to tell by the way the players look like they haven't completely learned them yet. If they can't learn the plays it doesn't matter what the call is.

This will be our first week with the same O-Line starters starting the same position. So, O-Line play should be better.

As far as the Vols pass rush goes this will be 3 weeks to of worked on it. Pruitt and Staff should have been able to fix it a little bit so it should be better against UTEP as well. (Sure they saw who does and doesn't have the ability on week 2 film)

The oline is a good example,they could have more time together and playing as one unit instead of missed blocks and a couple of good blocks. That takes time,even more since Kennedy got hurt.
Now the pass rush does need to be better by now but to me it looks like they are thinking too much and not just playing. That will slow you a step or more. Once they get this learned and they plays they'be been taught,then coaches can add more plays and find out who can do what better. That's kinda what I'm talking about.
I'm not going to judge last week's game good or bad because of the competition,it was practice in front of people.lol Only thing it might have helped was certain units playing together and building confidence.

Seems to be a common theme among Tennessee teams for the last 10+ years...
