Reminds me of the Dooley years. Those teams played well for a half of football too. Funny thing, depth was the excuse then too..This loss was expected, but it looks awful familiar..

We trailed Oregon by three at halftime in Dooley's first season. At the time they were ranked in the top two or three in the country.

Is that you Mike Hamilton.

Why would it crater? Think these footballs players are a bunch of betas like you? Maybe they watched the game and saw that TN still have a chance well into the 3rd qtr and think "I could be the difference there".

We aren't competing with uga, florida, bama, or lsu. We are recruiting against and beating uk, vandy, mizzou, scar, miss st. That's reality and you all need to accept it. Out recruit them, beat them on the field, grab a high caliber guy or 2 when you can, but when you establish the base of solid sec talent and rise above the cellar, then you can focus on bama, uga, lsu, etc. Thinking we will go from losing to Vandy to beating and out recruiting/talenting UGA in 2-3yrs is nothing but pure ignorance and delusion.

Did you seriously just call him a "beta" then turn around and say we're not competing with "uga, florida, bama, or lsu" and to accept it? Sounds like you're pretty beta yourself there.

I am sure it is fine because you're not a TN fan. Might as well buckle-up, Pruitt will be here for a minute. Hopefully the worst case scenario is he recruits legit sec talent and has them properly strength and conditioned for the next coach. That would be an improvement over the last 2 regimes.

Oh you got me. I'm not a real UT fan. I've just been spying on the opponents boards posting in random threads for years. Literally everyone on this board is a UT fan after the last decade. There are no bandwagon fans on the UT bus. I'm simply saying Pruitt is not the coach we need. Why would you want to keep him if he recruits SEC talent but can't produce on the field. All you're saying is you hope he can recruit so the next coach doesn't fail. You literally just affirmed he can't coach.

WOW!

I didn’t know that we aren’t expected to recruit or compete against to top of the league.

I know you're being sarcastic but there's some no life gator fans who literally have done just that.

Georgia made adjustments at the half. We didn’t adjust. They added another delayed blitzer and we never figured it out. I hope it’s a personnel issue and not a coach issue.

Kind of amazing, not in a good way, when in the second half the other team repeatedly gets rushers running unimpeded to the quarterback. We certainly wouldn't want to do something radical like, I don't know, maybe keep a back in to block, or maybe make some kind of adjustment in some way. Really mind-numbing.

So you EXPECT TN to have the no.1 class in the country?

That's the problem right there and why this fanbase is the dumbest in the country.

Ya but at least lawgator and 99 and others bring merit to the board with their posts and make sense. But yes, there will always be trolls.

I don't ****ing care how "bad" it is, that's what he's getting paid a lot of money to deal with. If he can't deal with it, then get someone who can. If it's not worse than the last 2 guys, then why even bring it up? It sounds like you're trying to use it as an excuse all while claiming you're not using it as an excuse.

Wow great fan buddy, I'm so thankful most fans aren't like you. I will tell you not that it'll matter or that I'm bragging but I played at UT under coach Fulmer (I'll add) so I'm around more than the common fan so I've seen with my own eyes what's going on but you say I'm making excuses so you know more apparently

There are a tremendous amount of trolls on this board because I refuse to believe that human beings in 2019 can truly be as stupid as some of the people on this board act. That's just a general statement.

I didn't affirm anything. No dang coach is coming here when you fire a cosch after 2yrs. Not happening. He gets next year minimum. Everyone needs to accept it.

Holy $hit. Even knowing we have some of those types in our fan base it’s still shocking to see a post like this. Pruitt is about as incompetent of a coach as you’ll ever see. Even tonight when so many things went our way he was horrible. Our team (especially the defense which is supposedly his strength) consistently has trouble lining up properly. Over and over again there were broken coverages leading to huge gains by uga. And on our last possession of the first half we should’ve made sure they wouldn’t get the ball back. Meanwhile uga has the perfect defensive play lined up multiple times throughout the game. Including the one that caused mauer to fumble.
And the game aside...just this week we learned the magnitude to which Pruitt bungled the whole Bank’s situation. I’m embarrassed that our head coach was on the phone berating a police office for doing his job. Then he initially does nothing to banks (wasn’t even temporarily suspended and continued to play for a couple of weeks) but ends up kicking him off the team.
Tonight there was a huge fight on the sidelines late in the game that the tv cameras didn’t show. We are just such a dumpster fire it’s not even funny. How on earth could you possibly come away saying we got our guy? I’m not trying to put the op down I’m genuinely shocked that anyone could believe things are headed in the right direction

Sorry you feel that way, I think it’s a reason we are where we are as a program. ****ing hero worship and acceptance of mediocrity.

You're either a troll or a paid poster getting a check from the UTAD to come on here and do damage control. Lies get thrown around a lot these days by your ilk; but your post above takes it to another level.

UF was 4-8 two years ago. You know, the year before they hired Dan Mullen, who won ten games his first year there. Maybe you need to go root for Vandy (or just admit you're paid to post this execrable nonsense on here).

THIS. Watching Florida today, you could literally see the more advanced coaching skills and abilities in Mullen's eyes and facial expressions, relative to Pruitt. Unfortunately, it's just right there to see.

Most do accept it; what we don't accept is declaring Pruitt is "the guy". He hasn't proven that. Yet for some reason when you say that suddenly you're a bad fan and a NegaVol and not supporting him.

We're improving every week. Maybe you can't see that. Or you expected these freshmen and sophmores to compete with an NFL roster that runs 4 deep across the board. Did we not lead for the majority of thre first half? I dunno about you, but I expect to see mistakes and guys getting beat this year at this level. We have no depth, we have no experience. But we managed to put some doubt in the minds of the #3 team and their fans for the 1st half. Their fans gave us props, but our own fans can't see chit
