What if I told you we went and hired one of the best defensive coordinators in the game. What if I told you we went and got one of the best offensive coordinators in the game? Imagine having both at the same time. This program is picking up some steam and this fan base needs to buckle up for the ride because we are going to do nothing but get better all year. Do we have the best QB in the SEC? Nope. But what we do have is a QB that can be serviceable if Pruit can get his defense rolling. He has a big problem though. He had to throw true freshmen out their that weren’t ready. He knew the only way he could get them ready for SEC ball is to throw them in the fire. We are young! The talent is getting coached up. We get Bituli back this week who was not only our leading tackler but the QB of this defense. Thompson will probably be back by next week. Once Chaney and Pruitt get full rosters of 4&5 star players they will do what they have always done. WIN. Be patient and enjoy the ride. Wins will come but we are going to have to take the lumps as they come. #GOVOLS!

No. You will see this team get better all year. They will win some they will beat some teams they shouldn’t. We will end up going to a bowl. They will be a lot better next year and by 2021 we should be in the talks for winning the east. Chaney and Pruitt did not forget how to coach. They have to get their rosters built first though. The fans getting behind him as soon as we start showing improvement is crucial though because if he is on the hot seat talks then 5 stars aren’t coming to a school who might make a coaching change.

If he doesn’t go bowling then worry but this is a long season with a 2 deep with a ton of kids who are gonna do nothing but get a LOT better. Bitching about your coach with these things being completely obvious is pretty counter productive and dumb to be honest. I haven’t seen a single past player who knows football say anything but Pruitt and Chaney are NOT the problem. It’s youth and our youth getting exposed early in the season against inferior opponents.

Well continue to bitch guys. When we start winning some games just be happy with it. Enjoy the ride. Who am I fooling everyone has already made up their mind. He could win 7 games this year and you all would still bitch. Win 9 and miss the east and you all will bitch next year too. Hell he could win the sec championship the following year but get beat in the playoffs and you all will bitch then too. Some of you all just bitch no matter what. We all have co workers just like you. You all are the loudest in the office and always bitching about something. the majority just goes to work and does their job and every once in a while they make the mistake of thinking they can talk some sense into you.

The mediocre loss train is picking up steam and may end with a 2-10 record for Tennessee in 2019:rolleyes:

You know he could easily lose 10 and would you still say we are picking up steam?

I agree that it's likely things will get better as the year rolls on, for two reasons. One, there was so much improvement from Ga State to BYU, and if that continues game to game, we might just be decent by the end of the year. Two, I just can't see it getting worse than Ga State, the sheer lack of effort by the players was appalling.

On the other hand, I might not be quite as optimistic as you because face it, losing to Georgia State is a really really low floor, and moving up from there might not be that big a move up relative to other teams.

Nevertheless, I am pretty confident that we won't even approach a Georgia State cluster the rest of the year, and I even think we can maybe win a couple of SEC games before it's all over.
