Agreed. I believe the s**t show started with Hamilton and the harder that correcting everything was done the worse it got. There’s a rottenness in the program from over a decade of incompetence. It’s led to the belief that we can make cheap hires on coaches and eventually we will strike gold. But our admin has shown the inability to hire the right type of coaches to fix where we are at. This could be due to either being cheap, risk averse, or both.

Friend was one of highest paid OL coaches in country. Chaney makes same as Clemson's OC. Ansley and Tee make $1 a piece.

We just got it wrong, or, he needs another year.

Thats why I said at this point. And Pruitt losing support of the fans was his fault, boo's and fans turning on him were because he continued to trot out the second worst QB ive seen every week, then goes out in the media and basically say he doesn't care about the fans. All this after calling them out during his first spring game. Pruitt was given more support then the last 2 coaching hires, if coaches want to look at this like a great destination jump back to last year when fans were scared he would go back to Bama after his little streak. All that to say, Pruitt brought everything on himself, we did make enemies on the hill for him, he did that on his own.

I’m not talking about the fans supporting the coach..... I’m talking about the administration and city supporting the team..... the teams that win don’t have to deal with the things our coaches do..... the good teams are protected and supported 100% so they can reach their potential..... As for Pruitt calling out the fans..... I can’t believe our fans are so fragile that they can’t handle a coach wanting us to show up at a spring game.

Lol. That first Dooley roster was maybe the worst since I’ve been a fan. Maybe Butch’s first year, but both were dog ****.

I think it’s more about uncertainty in the admit and we were still viewed as an elite program by many and not a dormant elephant.

Since you hate UT so much, why don’t you just go away?

Nobody asked you, Son. But fans have to keep the pressure on or nothing will change. If we keep filling up the stadium and paying the bills why would they care if we are a 3-7 team? Status quo isn't acceptable.

No..maybe not, but I sure as hell didn't think we needed to burn it down to the ground. This mess is a great example of "be careful what you pitch a hissy fit for, because you may end up in a nightmare"

I had zero confidence they were going to get this right when they didn't fire him as soon as the season was over.

I personally earlier in the season did not want to fire Pruitt because I felt after the embarrassment of the last search we didn't need to jump so quickly on that carousel again, but it was apparent to anybody with a working brain that the situation had grown untenable thanks to his refusal to bench JG after Kentucky.

The fanbase as a whole may have felt uneasy about trashing a young man (rightly so) just trying to do his best and failing spectacularly, but they had no qualms about channeling and magnifying all that frustration and anger onto a dude making millions a year (rightfully so)

He needed to go at the end of the season...honorably..EVERYTHING that has happened since then is a inexcusable travesty, and for us a tragedy. Now we are looking at maybe the worst Tennessee season ever, and a nightmarish rebuilding period square in the face thanks to the admins inexcusable, and completely stupidly unnecessary bungling.

We've never seen anything handled this poorly it's a disgrace. We've been down some low roads but this is rediculius . Heck I even watched the women's game last night and was surprised there looking better than they have Sense Pay started getting sick. I've watched all VOLS sports all my life. I'm all VOL but this football nonsense is killing me.

Pruitt had that support when he was winning, the investigation didn't show up last year did it? It would've been swept under the rug if he did decently this year. Once Pruitt wasn't winning his attitude and actions caught up with him. This once again all circles back to Pruitt treating people like ****
