This is train is picking up some steam!

Do you consider a 1st year defensive coordinator who hasn’t won a game yet to be one of the best coordinators in the game or were you referring to Pruitt?

Why have we been “young” for 12 years. It’s the same excuse every d@mn season.

That's who we are and why other fan bases use to call us delusional. They still do but now they just feel sorry moreso. Off season champs, to young every year, next year is our year, going to win the East within 1-2 years, over coached, etc. We're ExcuseU.

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.

They have already lost 2 they shouldn't have, now if they win 1 that is progress in yr 2 for CJP and staff......maybe today..............

Ga State was a fluke, a bad one but thats what it was, we saw where this team really is against BYU, I think we will see improvement as well, at least i hope so, the thing that always drove me crazy with Butch's teams is you never saw them getting better just the same thing week in and week out where you felt like we got lucky in every game we won.

This is Pruitts Defense- he lets Ansley call the play and then he approves it. It’s Pruitts Defense. It’s Chaney’s offense. We literally have 0 offensive linemen who played any real minutes last year, 1 LB, 1 CB and 1 S. That leaves 3 new DL, 3 new LB’s, 1 new CB and 1 new S. But yeah of course it’s Pruitts fault all these offensive coordinators are just taking a wild guess who is vulnerable on defense. Let’s not talk about the 2 true freshmen OL who DO make mistakes. Just cause you are more talented on the OL means nothing. You could have 100lbs on someone if you block the wrong guy your QB is gonna be on his ass. Grey is gonna be a beast but his missed assignment letting JG finish on his back is just one of the many freshmen mistakes that put us in this boat. I get the frustration but acting as if it’s Pruitts fault because freshmen and lack of game experience is a coaching problem is pretty dumb.

I know it's been along rebuild and we are tired of it and worn out . But we can't give up on the current rebuild I know we all think should happen now but the kif Dools Jones train derailed the program to the point that it may take a few years for me the Auburn and Kentucky game showed me I can have faith we just need I few more pieces.

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.

You have paid absolutely no attention to the upcoming schedule or what's happening on the field have you?

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.

No one is going to be bitching if he gets 7 to 9 wins.

Most people have enough sense to realize that is highly unlikely to happen however.

Keep riding that True Vol Fan soap box though.

Nationdom, you said if we lost to BYU you would concede. I see you have recovered though and that your industrial strength orange tinted prescription glasses are as strong as ever.

Exactly! These first 3 games should have been the "Guaranteed" 3-0 start to this season. After today's "guaranteed" win, the schedule gets much tougher. To get a win we shouldn't will likely only happen if; one of our opponents pulls a Tn at this point. I hope like hell I'm wrong!

If the Vols were to miraculously go 7-5 this year, a multitude of posters will beat a dead horse complaining that we should be 9-3

I think we should get better as the young guys get experience. I plan to keep supporting the team because this staff isn't responsible for the last 15 years of foul ups in this program. They have to be given a fair chance to turn things around. It doesn't do the team any good if the fans abandon them. I'm not sunshine pumping, I'm just saying this is the situation we are in and the fans need to try to give this team a strong home field advantage. I hated hearing BYU chant as we walked out of the stadium last Saturday, believe me I get the frustration but the best way out of this situation is for this staff to succeed and fan support will help them.
