For me, you know what bothered me more than the loss? Odd what sends people over the edge...that tweet from Murphy. It's been a long time since I've been that pissed, that quick. We're all in a horrible mood, I dare say, if things were going well...we "all" probably wouldn't be half as irritated about things that have been said this week. I get what your saying, but for me....I'm just glad that he had emotion. We dang sure didn't see it this weekend. But that's just me. That's what keeps life interesting, we're all different.

Yeah its all good and you are one of my favorite posters on here.....to me its bad that this many warning signs are popping up this early. TBH, I dont give a damn who are coach is, just win games and dont get in bad trouble constantly. But the stuff that popped up 2-3 years into dooley/ jones is popping up 13 games in along with the worst loss in program history.

When Pruitt finished the applause was sparse at best. Not like usual.

Ya know what you don’t see on teams like Alabama and Clemson?

Players arguing on twitter and laughing about losing. Players that need endless amounts of motivation from coaches.

They are 17-21 years old. If they aren’t motivated to play football by the time fall camp rolls around, I don’t know what to say about that.

You think Trevor Lawrence or Jalen Hurts need someone to come rub their backs and hug them to get them ready to play football? I would imagine that’s gone’ be a no.

I would imagine Pruitt is puzzled as to why half his roster of SEC players struggle to want to play football so bad. You ever worked with someone that no matter how good the manager or whatever treated you or tried to be flexible, they always complained? Yeah. Those types of guys exist in football too. I know we all like to believe everyone is a great person and full of school spirit, but back here on earth, some guys are just slackers with a bad attitude and you have to get them under control quick. Jeremy didn’t at the end of last season and he’s learning now why it’s important to weed out bad attitudes quick.

Pruitt probably tried to work with some guys. It’s biting him in his a$$. They are obviously a huge distraction, the same way the Jalen Hurd Situation distracted players and ultimately tanked our season. I think Jordan Murphy leaving and then him saying that on Vol calls is clear indication that he is weeding them out right now.

No. But I will say this is the first time in a while where we have been getting what appears as directness from the coach (Bama interview and tonight - “we have guys here that don’t want to be here”).... if a player was upset under Butch, he babied them and then let them do whatever they wanted. Butch would take things so personal if things came out that made him look bad.

Pruitt appears to be telling players who may or may not be half assing it either get with the program or leave.

Pruitt was expected to be an 180 degree culture change from Butch. What he’s said and is saying is exactly that.

So he has to have his ass handed to him to know what leadership looks like? Sounds promising.

I wouldn't want to be in CJP spot. I personally think he does care, I know there are several that thinks otherwise.. I believe the coaches care and want to be successful.. I think the majority of the players do care also.. But I feel we have just enough that don't and it is causing issues.. Idk.. That is what's bothering me.. What caused the emotionless on the field Saturday.. Are the players over thinking? I have a hard time believing that none wanted to not win the game... Maybe some not buying in.. Idk.. It's normally embedded in players and coaches to not want to lose and to always want to win, most people in sports have that competitive nature.. It truly baffles me. All I know is I'm like the rest. Just want the team to be successful.. I wish I could fix it for real.. I miss the Vols being dominant..

Miss the Vols being dominant?
I miss them being relevant, competitive, and a non laughing stock.
