What is the solution to this damnation we are apparently in?

I've seen "Fire the Coach" That's a 9 Million dollar thing for just the head coach not including assistants. If we did, we would most assuredly get another coach just like the last 3. Nobody wants to come here and we are paying ridiculous dollars to incapable coaches just to get them to come. UT has shown without a doubt they have no intention of paying ridiculous money to get a name brand and if they were, name brand won't come here.

Replace the Quarterback: With who? As bad as Guarantano is, he's as good as we've got.

I'm personally sick of listening to sports talk radio in Knoxville for 12 months of the year building up hope of 8 and 9 win seasons to be disappointed in week 1 when we can't seem to put away Appalachian State or lose to Georgia State Southwestern Technical College. At this point, I don't know who UT would beat on it's schedule that matters. Who cares if you beat UT Chattanooga or not? I am at the point where it wouldn't bother me at all if they shut the program completely down. Frankly, I'm tired of them throwing money away that I'm being somewhat forced to pay to produce a product that is at best disappointing. The facts are, buy a ticket or not a significant portion of your cable/satellite, whatever tv bill goes to pay for this mess. I go back to Bill Battle and can remember some pretty sorry years. A sorry year here and there is different than 12 consecutive sorry years and getting worse not better.

Botched it when we didn't hire the Pirate. We don't know if JG is as good as we've got. Give someone else a shot.

Quit going. quit buying stuff.

The Cubs were not good for a century because they have loyal fans. Why try to win if people still come.
The Yankees are good most of the time because if they aren't their fans find something else to do.

Be the Yankees and not the gullible Cubs. fans.

How exactly do we know that JG is the best QB we have in a game situation?

Has one of the other QB’s been in this season and I missed it?

It’s time for a different approach is all I’m saying.

I sincerely doubt JG is the best we have. Heck, the towel boy could probably throw beyond 3 yards all game, and would know not to slide until he reached the down marker.

There are a million and one guys out there that can throw a ball on target. Go to any high school, they're a dime a dozen. But if that's all it took we would all be college starter material. If JG doesn't have the total package why not find out if the next man up does? Some guys flip that switch when the lights come up. Let's see what theyve got

Might as well start Shrout or Mauer. Our ceiling right now is 3-4 wins this year. If that’s the case you have nothing to lose then to try something different. If Guarantano doesn’t get it now he’s never going to

Where are the 3 or 4 wins you speak of? You have watched the 1st 2 games haven't you??

We need a qb. We get a decent qb and we win both games. Pruitt will get higher quality players, we are seeing some show their talent already. No need to get rid of pruitt, no coach can turn this around instantly.

Pruitt will not be fired I'm so disappointed he's going play JG regardless of how incompetent he is, but the team suffers fanbase suffers and doesn't matter
if CJP and his staff are here having success or a piss poor season like this season with coaching contracts like they are they are paid millions to fail or have winning seasons
coaches win either way...…………...

you are 100% percent right, Vols need a change at QB no way the backups would make worse decisions than JG and he has had 4yrs to improve
its time sit him down...……...……...
