RELAX Already

[jwilliams]

I would say impatient not irrational. And impatient for cause mind you. But as long as we gave a coach not blowing smoke up our collective posterior and pitching snake oil slogans, we can give the man some time. I want to see a championship like tomorrow, but I am a realist. Steady as she goes. I feel a whole lot better after this LOSS that I did after the last two season opener WINS squeaking by against teams we should have demolished. We just flat out got beat today by a team that is currently better than us. We were not outcoached and unprepared. Secondary needs work but the great news is that CJP specializes in that area.

Nice! You said a lot of things I wasn't able to articulate very well, but I feel the same way.

I think most Vol fans are tired of sucking and there is nothing from tonight's game that gives us any hope it will end anytime soon. Coach Pruitt, who I think has done about as well as he could thus far with the exception of tonight, has no history of winning as a head coach and the very real possibility of a coaching change in four years isn't an appealing thought because that would mean we would be another 3-4 years on top of that before crawling out of the eternal anus it seems we are marred in.

Don't come with a rational explanation of why folkes are flustered.....blue font

It about competing not just being able to win...some posters however will not notice or set expectations for this team or the vols in general

Some have expectations too high while the majority have no expectations at all. To them everything is great and only getting better. The majority will witch hunt everyone who doesn’t conform.

While Florida is playing Charleston Southern, we had Will Grier, but stay heated as it will really help things.

I will stay heated. It's a passionate fan base. Maybe you should go to the old folks home and watch it with them with your peace and tranquility crap. This is football.

So funny to watch the same idiots who proclaimed dooley the next great thing , then proclaimed jones the next great thing, now proclaim pruitt the next great thing! Maybe for once you idiots stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room and wait to see if a coach can actually get something done before lecturing other fans!

Well said. The problem with the jones fan boys, was they just could not bring themselves to ever admit they were wrong, year after year, they kept their man crush alive. But, with what was left to CP, and only one game under his belt, I'm very willing to give him a chance. Remember how many times you heard, "Jones was left with a dumpster fire...….". CP, was left with as least as bad a situation. This is why I am willing to give him time, if he is going to be another jones- some of us (me included) will jump off the train-in less than five years..... But- he may be the right guy to bring UT Football Back-we can all hope!

No one can truly assess the success or progress this team achieves until the season is over. We got spanked. It is what it is. 6-6 can still happen. If it does, I think most would agree that is acceptable progress.

New staff, new schemes, new positions... We have Bama's coach, but he didn't bring Bama's players.

As much as I hate saying this, we have to give this staff time. They shouldn't pay for the past staffs' sins.

Pruitt is trash this team is trash. UT football as we know it is over. We are the new Kentucky

Hey! Who are you calling the new Kentucky?
