Where did it die?

[KarnsTownVol]

If I'm honest I don't think I can even pin point where the kill shot to the program was. I know use to if we lost a game I was miserable to even be around for a week.
But if im being honest I can't even remember when it was I stopped caring. I've went from being extremely invested to it just is what it is. If I have anything to do I won't go out of my way to watch a game anymore. I scheduled my wedding around UT football now I wouldn't even cancel a dentist appointment. The culture is dead and I don't think UT football will be back anytime soon. The only thing I have faith in is the administration is gonna drop the ball on this hire. Sad times on the hill.

We got a splinter in our finger with kiffin. Decided to fix it by chopping our arm off.

Who would want to come coach here? This is a pattern with this bunch at this point. They just nuked themselves again. They have a credibility issue right now...

The day it truly died was the day we decided to hire Dooley.

 

[Iam4utalways]

We have new life now.

Now is the time to renew your vigor for the Vols.

 

[Roustabout]

Fulmer, Plowman and Boyd are all so full of ****. I can’t believe you can get paid that kind of $$ to be incompetent.

Oh idk. Gary Patterson wanted to come here but we went with Kiffin. Mullen wanted the job but we took too long. Leach also wanted the job.

Not very familiar with Congress are you?

When Dickey retired in 2002

 

[thistime]

The day our National Championship winning coach decided he had a bigger stinger than a few big booster families and they showed him he didn't. Majors got gone the same way too but we had someone that was in house that took over the program did a GREAT job but forgot what happened to the coach before him.

 

[PNW Huskie]

It "felt" like Kiffin's tenure/exit was the beginning of major dysfunction. Everything since just feels like layers peeled away from an onion. Now there's nothing left.

Part of the pattern.

I will probably get roasted for this... but in all honesty, it changed for me when the whole Majors/Fulmer debacle took place. I felt like Johnny was done wrong and it just took some time for it to all come home. My $0.02

And yeah, i know people will argue Phil had a good tenure here... not saying he didnt.

The day in the rain against Florida were Clausen fumbled 3 out of 4 consecutive snaps under center

I believe that when we see who's the new AD and HC

Steele sure ain't going to get the job done.

Truth. The incompetence almost looks intentional. We find the right path.. about face, and go the opposite direction. Why are we surprised by the result? We shouldn’t be.

It's their "Hold my beer moment". No one does it better.

Good reference. We're like a rat caught in the trap chewing off its own leg.

He was done wrong, but Dickey had enough of his gin. Dickey got PO'd at Majors at a fundraiser.

That team clearly dumped on Majors when he came back.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Its been going down in fits and starts for nearly 20 years now.

Fulmer

2001 killed his momentum
2005 showed he was losing his edge
2008 final nail in the coffin

Kiffin

Wasn't here long enough

Dooley

2010 to 2012 was a debacle

Jones

Actually showed some signs of life early on ....amazing what a dynamic QB can do for a team

2016 killed his momentum by choking the East away

Pruitt

2017 to 2020 was a debacle...win streak was a mirage

Events of this week is probably the head shot unless they can somehow get a legit coach or Steele can act as a tourniquet

 

[Iam4utalways]

How many got what they wanted?
Get rid of AD and HC.
With little regard for the next move.

It would be nice to hire someone that I’ve heard of.
