I don’t understand how an SEC line can be so thoroughly dominated by Georgia State. On both sides of the football!!

A large percentage of our team just doesn’t GAF. You can see it in their preparation, fitness, demeanor, and hustle.

Does "I will give my all to Tennessee" not apply to coaches?

Players are expected to give their all and bodily health for love of UT and a free education. Coaches are expected to do their best in exchange for a paycheck unless/until a better paycheck comes along.

He's an Alabama guy that went to Alabama and coached for Alabama... the only reason he would care is how this affects his coaching trajectory. Otherwise, why would he care about being the hand leading his lifetime most hated program into the furthest depths of mediocrity?

I would relish the chance to be paid millions to lead Bama or Florida to losing to a SunBelt team that went 2-10 the previous year.

I have always said this. This guy grew up probably hating Tennessee. Hating the fans. Hating hearing Rocky Top. After all he was an Alabama guy. And all of a sudden just because he's getting a paycheck from Tennessee he's supposed to forget all of that. Emotions are not like a light switch. I don't think he cares. Who knows Alabama may be paying him on the side to sabotage the program with the promise of them hiring him later.

He’s a Bama guy and one of his most hated rivals is paying him a fortune to further sink their program.

I’d say Pruitt just doesn’t give a f***. If he does then that’s even worse.

Good Lord. Find a tin hat. How does this help him? We are pretty much a trial run for if Alabama wants Pruitt, and the trial ain’t looking good. Nobody would want him with a record like last year and a loss like this. It’s absolutely nuts to think otherwise.

The part about getting paid by Alabama on the side with sarcasm. However the rest of what I was saying is very true. I don't think he cares. I do think he grew up hating Tennessee as anybody playing for Alabama would. And I do not think you can turn emotions on and off like a light switch. He just doesn't seem upset at all

Pruitt should take all the blame in the media but when the doors are closed this team needs leaders to step up and hold themselves and fellow players accountable. If a player doesn’t care about winning and losing its up to the team to weed them out. Today the defensive coaching seemed unorganized. I only watched the game on tv and didn’t see the sidelines but maybe there’s too many people trying to run the defense. Pruitt needs to let Ansley do his job and just be the head coach. Not saying Pruitt should totally step away from the defensive but give his advice directly to Ansley and the other assistants. The players just seemed unorganized most of the time. Like any job out there there was too many people trying to be directly in charge.

Fair enough. I think he does. Either way I don’t care if he gets happy or upset as long as he wins, which clearly, he isn’t

From what I saw today only three players gave a damn today. It’s time to hire big 15 as our new HC.

I'm starting to believe the "he's Bama through and through" is affecting his attitude towards how performs his job. Pretty piss poor so far.

One thing a lot of people probably forget is when he was hired football program was in horrible shape and really he should have committed to getting to work on it as fast as possible but he insisted on going back to Alabama and coaching the bowl game. That told a lot right there. His loyalties did not lie with the program that just offered him a multimillion-dollar contract. And a lot of Tennessee fans made excuses for it at the time

That means he’s just incompetent then right?

Or all the players suck?

Or he just needs more money... I mean time?

Need a leader on the field to rally around. JG ain’t it.

JG did enough to win with the hello of those around him. The defense is the real problem. Don't get me wrong JG needs to be better but the defense was about as bad as it could be. We have nothing resembling a serviceable d line and the secondary was just lost. The defense is why we lost that game.

Especially fitness. A lot of our players looked out of shape and slow

Agree, his limited interceptions are skewed because of his aptitude for being sacked

How in the world did Ansley become a great hire? He was a dback coach for the Raiders last year and they were by far one of the worst units in the league. Gruden didn't give 2 sh**s he left. He's terrible. But here? He was this great snag by UT. Pffft. I can't believe what happened today. The defense was atrocious...and I don't give a crap JG threw for 300 yards and a garbage time td. He's horrible. Two turnovers he had killed us. He's nothing. Garbage. Complete crap.
