Pat Forde is a tool

[djwes]

The Pat Ford article in on the SI site is just crap. Typical 2021, self righteous, woke crap.

"Three years ago, Vols fans were thrilled they had thwarted plans to hire Greg Schiano and landed a 'Tennessee man' at AD. Boy, has that backfired."

"Oh, it was for the worse. Much worse. A ridiculous, myopic, huckster-driven fan uprising has lurched to a predictable end: embarrassment, financial malpractice, alleged major NCAA violations, consistent losing … and, now, a total program reset that includes the Monday firing of Pruitt and nine staffers, plus the sudden retirement of Fulmer."

"Flush with revolutionary fervor, Tennessee fans were very busy congratulating themselves on Dec. 1, 2017."

Just beating on Tennessee fans like we are one homogenous group of ignorant hillbillies.

Besides it's just intellectually lazy, but then you went to Mizzou, guess we can only expect so much from a BJ.

Or perhaps you have a DSM-IV personality disorder which drives you to criticise others in an effort to improve your personal confidence or little brother issues with your university?

For the record, since you didn't bother to actually investigate but cherry-picked a few social media quotes which reflect your point of view; a large majority of fans and alumni were not at all pleased with the actions of some idiots on campus in 2017 or the University leadership that caved in.

But again, you went to Mizzou, (giggle) with your cute high school-sized little stadium, I'm sure you are proud of safe space U.

The standard is different at Tennessee, and yes we have fallen short of that, it's why this bothers us, we expect better.

We love our state, our university, our Vols.

So perhaps act like a real journalist or stick to reporting on the mediocrity at your alma mater.

Man do you actually think he is going to see this?

 

[BearCat204]

It's BS but you know we need to be pissed the hell off that this administration and all those who make decisions on the Hill continue to allow the fanbase to be continually **** on.

Pat Forde has a wear a hat to hide the slit on the top of his head!

 

[sjt18]

Schiano would have been a bad hire. Pruitt being a bad hire doesn't change that in the least.

I don’t know why it took this long for the OP to realize that Pat Forde is a bag of d***s.

It’s click bait journalism. He knows it will generate eyeballs and responses. It’s how that stupid business operates now.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

Who cares? Do any of you wish we would of hired schiano instead? No? Then what does it matter what Pat Ford thinks? He’s just butt hurt you don’t think like him.

100%. But I do give the OP props for posting an excerpt with credit rather than a link to that crap.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Just because your ex girlfriend cheated on you and tried to chop off your wiener doesn't make the fat, ugly chick with AIDS desirable...

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Pruitt was fired in 3 years. Schiano would have been fired in 4. Either way, we were screwed in 2017.

 

[kyvol98]

Forde is his IQ.....

 

[Hacksaw]

The only thing worse than that crap is that someone posted it here.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Pat Forde is always spouting negativity about something or someone. When he gives interviews, he always has a sour expression on his face. He never smiles. His schtick is kicking teams/coaches/fans when they are down. He very rarely writes about anything positive about anyone. He simply ignores the teams he can't dump on. It does get clicks... so he has found a niche that works for him.

* Forde won't say a word about Barnes and the basketball team this year.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Stopped reading after "Pat Forde is a tool ".

Nuff said right there.

Same with Wolken.

 

[VolNate]

Forde was waiting to publish this from the moment Vol fans stood up and said we want better. The fact that we didn’t get what we wanted doesn’t mean that we should have settled for a coach who didn’t pass the smell test.
The irritating part in all of this is that Pat didn’t need to wait long.

Some heroes don’t wear capes.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

It isn't like any of the national talking heads hold Schiano in that high a regard either.

He has as many or more red flags than Pruitt ever did in terms of having a temper and being hard to work with and play for.

They just use that as an excuse to say told you so and try to rub the fans nose in it.

 

[VolFann9]

His opinions on football undoubtedly bleed over his political affiliations that also thinks Tennessee is full of backwards hillbillies. There is one side of the aisle that has a much harder time keeping that bias separate from their work, religion, etc
