The trouble is that the fans have gotten tired of having this "long term" rebuild statement for the last 10 years!! A coach has to show improvement; it really is as simple as that. UT has made the serious error of hiring a number of coaches "on the cheap." Coaches who have not been proven winners at the power 5 level. And I'm not speaking of assistant coaches; I mean real proven HEAD Coach winners at a high level.Good lord it's old. We are all disappointed by how the season has gone so far but its completely asinine to start a new thread every time a crappy team hangs with a decent team. This site has become unreadable with this tripe.
This is going to be a long term rebuild if you honestly want sustainable growth. It's going to take time to get the players, coach up the players and improve. The cycle of bringing in a new coach every 4 years has created a toxic culture where system guys dont want to buy in to a new system. The program has 1 1/2 of the classes it's going to take to actually change the culture completely.
This isnt a video game with a cheat code or a rally round the flag feel good story. This is reality. And reality is tough.
Please explain why its all Pruitts fault for those losses.
That is one of the main issues.... people base how good a team is based off recruiting rankings instead of how good the player is once he shows up on campus..... Henry T and Crouch look like the real deal while other highly rated guys such as Warrior has never shown much of anything.The problem is while most coaches see improvement year 2, Pruitt hasn't shown it (yet).
Or the fact Mack Brown has come back after not coaching in forever and should have beat the #1 team with a bunch of average players (don't think UNCs recruiting has even come close to TNs).
Let's be honest, do you have faith in this staff to develop an under the radar guy? At this point we better have 5 stars at every position..That is one of the main issues.... people base how good a team is based off recruiting rankings instead of how good the player is once he shows up on campus.....

Faith is nonsense when it comes to football..... they have to prove it on the field.... do I think we have good coaches? Yes, I do..... the offensive and defensive coordinators are two of the most highly thought of coaches in the country....my thought is that this is a bigger rebuild than us fans thought and we need to be patient.Let's be honest, do you have faith in this staff to develop an under the radar guy?

Because its every single thread. And it's just the same knee jerk BS every time a low talent team plays over their head.OR let people voice their concerns on a message board. If you don't like it then say you disagree but why do you think you can tell people how to feel and act?
You know, if the players and coaches of this team paid any attention to all whiners and complainers on this board, it's no wonder other teams across the NCAA seem to be doing better than UT. Likely the game is not fun anymore for our team. Always getting blasted by our own fans and the media. Every decision made by the coaching staff and every good and bad play made by our team is being dissected to the inth degree.
I'm as disappointed as any of our fans, but I don't see where this constant calling for the coach to be fired or lesser talented players to transfer out, is doing anybody any good. Every player on this team is more talented at football than 99% of the members of this board. We need to rally around this team and coaches. If ever there is a "Win one for the Gipper" moment, this season is it! GBO!!
Coach Pruitt is 6-10, and has lost 5 of 6, to the likes of Missouri, Vandy, Ga State, Byu, and Florida. Blown out by Florida and Missouri, and MAN-HANDLED by Ga State.
Folks have every right to be unhappy, and voice their opinions.
