This is the most football dumb, physically weak, untalented, slow team I've ever witnessed at Tennessee. Thank you intern Lyle Jones.

I feel sorry for Pruitt, he's going to have to deal with a bunch of softies for at least 3 more years. It's going to take 2-3 years of excellent recruiting just to get to 6 or 7 win seasons. I hope he keeps his sanity during these next couple of years.

People can blame the OC as much as they want... But how can he do anything with this group of cupcakes on the OL and a really way below average QB... This debate all year about the QB's?? LoL... They're both just plain bad.

Its going to take awhile to get rid of the suckage... So lower you expectations and be patient.

But here is the good news.

1. We regularly out recruit each program, and should continue to do so.
2. We have quality coaches who should be able to develop those recruits (where Butch failed)

This leads us to the natural conclusion...

3. It’s a matter of time.

Whether we rise to the level of Florida and UGA is to be determined, but we should absolutely pass the other 4 in a minimum of 3 additional seasons

Ditto here... except for this caveat... Pruitt must go to bowl next year and he'd better beat Vandy or he will enter 2020 no on the hot seat.

I'll be anxious to see how this class closes. Someone posted something a while back a thread from a Georgia board and it was just dozens of posters saying the same thing, that Pruitt can get them to campus but cant close. Maybe that was just salty/nervous Georgia fans, idk but that is essentially exactly what happened last cycle. Of course, he only had 2 months or so to fill the class so...who knows. I just really, really hope we don't end up being the bridesmaid for a bunch of the guys (Pappoe, Gray, Wright, etc.)/

The funny thing is that I think that about UGA. They will choke every single year. As good as they have recruited, they probably won't win the big one. Of course, I am biased because I want them to fail miserably. Those fans are the most delusional in the country.

They are horrible, no doubt about that. I hesitate to ascribe that to Georgia though in that just because a program HAS been a certain way over the years doesn't mean it always will be. Kirby Smart isn't Mark Richt and with the way Georgia recruits, I think its just a matter of time. Especially if Saban were to leave Alabama anytime soon.

You are right, it is different with CKS. But they choked in the National Championship last year. They choked against LSU. I realize they are a young team this year. I guess my point is more about their fans. They have always thought they were better than what they are. UGA is on a different level than us right now but a couple years of Pruitt players will have us feeling better. I know that this year ended on a low note for us but if we give CJP enough time we will all be happy fans. Maybe I am in the minority but I would rather have CJP any day over CKS. We have to be patient. The thing I can't fathom is the players that just did not care. I think back to my Daughter's last high school basketball game and how that team felt. We made it to the 2nd round of state and lost to a team we should/could have beat. They were devastated. I cant imagine D1 players dancing on the sideline when getting the crap beat out of them. I feel so horrible for the players that bought in that had to endure the laziness and lack of effort of some of these guys. It is one thing to lose to a better team but to lose because there were a lot of guys who didn't want to play in a bowl is sad.

It all just comes down to culture. That sort of attitude was bred and nurtured by the last staff. It is going to be a painful, multi-year process to get it out. I agree, Georgia fans are unbelievably entitled for their relative lack of championship hardware.

I think this is exactly why UTAD has not felt compelled to pony up big money and hire us a proven, winning program rebuilder staff. We are too loyal. We assume that a Bammer who has never been a head coach before is going to sign top recruiting classes and win championships here just because he's our coach. If UF had hired CJP and we'd wound up with Mullen, we would all be mocking their hire. Some posters here like to bash on our fanbase, but as I see it the only thing this program has going for it is the fanbase's loyalty and their passion for the memory of championship football.

I don't have a lot of post game thoughts today. I DVR'd the game and was watching it about two hours behind. But when I saw how utterly gutless and inept our defense was playing, I actually fast forwarded through most of it. Then about half way through the fourth I got so frustrated that I looked up the score on my phone and when I saw how badly we lost, I deleted the whole recording.

What a sickening game, and what a sickening end to this season. What a sickening state of Tennessee football right now.

All that said, I still have my full faith and confidence that CJP will turn things around - it's just going to take a lot longer than I anticipated.

Seriously looking forward to this rotser purge.

Also Nigel Warrior sucks. I literally went from thinking he would shine under Pruitt and would likely work himself into a high draft pick this year, to not even giving a ish if he's on this roster next year.

Bring on McCoullough. Bring on Harris. Bring on Beasley. Bring on year two Flowers. Lets roll.

Who were the two recruits that came and saw us play yesterday? VQ teased that two guys - 1 commit and 1 non-committed- guys were there but idk if they ever revealed who they were.

Ok done being negavol...

Positives going into next year: (Not recruiting Bc i don’t really follow)

-Another year with Fitz and S/C staff.
-Secondary should be at top of the conference. Flowers, BT, & AT all looked very good for frosh.
-JG has a full year under him and more experience.
-hopefully bulk of our skill on offense returns.
-slightly easier schedule.

It’s not debunked. There’s a long long off season. I still stand by that i think he will not be here next year. If I’m wrong I’m wrong but this is something that’s been rumored for about a month. He’s not happy here.

Pruitt said he isnt going anywhere. I guess it could happen.
