Sounds more like another stupid media person blaming the Tennessee fans for revolting against a terrible Schiano hire. They are all still obsessed with the fact that we didn't hire "their guy".

Ultimately, the "revolution" was successful. We got rid of Haslam puppets, but got stuck with an incompetent Fulmer for 3 years. Now we got rid of Fulmer and have a good AD.

None of this would've happened without the revolt against Schiano. We'd still be stuck with Haslam puppets as AD, complete dysfunction, and a completely toxic coach in Schiano.

SEC has gone Offense-centric, and we hired an offense/QB minded coach. Just don't make a Sal Sunseri hire on D, and let's see what happens. If he can create exciting QB play, attracting QB's to Knoxville again will be our fastest way back to relevancy. QB is the equalizer in college football. If we didn't have Dobbs, Butch wouldn't have made it past Y3.

Yeah, let's see any other fan base be as patient or battered as Vol fans...among other traditional football power schools. We're the poster children for patience...but, can't blame us if we're gassed on patience...the choices are pure apathy or venting...100% buying in isn't really a grand option...though I'm all for supporting him to see what happens.

Sometimes you have to wonder how much money Greg Schiano pays these writers to have his ass kissed like he's the modern-day Knute Rockne.

Exactly. Why don't these so called journalists remind us of how many teams were beating down Schiano's door to hire him? He wouldn't have gotten a sniff at a HC job if Rutgers hadn't come calling.

It is a general hit-piece aimed directly at the fan base. While he's not wrong in many points, painting the fan base and AD failures with such a wide brush is sloppy.

He is right on Heupel. CJH will do much better here than a lot of people are giving credit toward. His offense simply performs well, almost regardless of who the QB is.

If he can achieve a top 20 offense and a defense that rivals our previous year, the Vols could absolutely be looking @ 7-9 wins in '21.

This all day!!!! No one and I mean no one was trying to hire him. Hell, OSU passed on hiring him when Meyer got suspended for 3 games, then passed on him again when Meyer retired.

These talking heads don’t ever want to discuss that.

These media a -holes are never going to let that Schiano fiasco die.

Let me know when that guy proves to be anything other than an overhyped, overpaid, mediocre at best coach.

His defense finished 13 spots worse than the Vols did in PPG in 2020 playing in a much easier conference. So much for the defensive genius .

They weren't happy with him up at Rutgers either

The most basic rule of coaching is to give your team a chance to win by putting your players in the best possible position to succeed. And with a pair of disastrous fourth down decisions in Rutgers territory in the first half, Greg Schiano didn’t do that.

Rutgers football: Schiano fourth-down decisions set up loss to Penn State

Hiring Schiano would have led us right into another coaching search minus the NCAA drama.

Nugget I learned from the article: Heupel identified and signed Jordan Love at Utah St. He was the only D1 coach to offer him a scholarship. Love was drafted in the first round in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Bad article. It makes me want to vomit up a fur ball or the bird that I ate for lunch.

Blames the fans for what the program has become.

Blames the fans for Pruitt too.

Maybe next article he can blame us for the virus, cancer, and the bubonic plague.

People like that want Tennessee to suck and Tennessee fans to shut up and accept the fact that they will always suck.

All I read was "Yahoo Sports!" That was enough for me. What a joke. That being said, I'm curious to see what Heupel can do.
