Gloating over our misfortunes? You are FOS. BTW the play on the field and W/L record is 99% responsible for our recruiting efforts. This is not a one year issue. It is a 13 year event with the exception of a couple of Dobbs years and even in Dobbs senior year the team underperformed because of lack of good coaching.I am so happy for the miserable ones on this site. 2020 has been a banner year for you. Pleases continue to gloat over the misfortunes of our team. We have a situation that is right up your alley. Keep voicing the extreme negativity as it will bolster our recruiting efforts. The potential recruits will see the absolute disdain the "loyal" fanbase has for the current staff and players and will decide that they really want to help the poor pitiful fanbase out by staying committed to them. ANY potential replacement coach will laugh hysterically, or simply fire their agent, if this job is even mentioned. The stadium will stay full and all the improvements on the drawing board will make venerable Neyland the envy of all. Gotta love it.

Not good. Not good at all.Please don't try to act like we are "making room" it looks like some of the better players are losing faith.
While I believe the hot seat of Pruitt is part of the problem, Pruitts hot seat is because of his poor performance.

Exactly; couldn't agree more, and why doesn't the opposite also happen? When the fans are positive and hopeful about the staff, players, fill the seats and give it OUR all, we still lose games and recruits and there are still those that blame the fans. Out of everything that could negatively affect a recruit's choice or game day results on the field, the fans are not the most likely factor.I'd like to understand this magic that happens when fans are negative. Apparently, if we're negative, coaches can't coach, players can't execute, and now recruits leave. Even funnier, apparently we're the only team that has this magic. I've seen bama fans wabt to fire saban, dawg fans want to fire smart, Clemson fans even, yet those schools are staying on top. When you have time, please explain our magic negative impact.
Everybody saw this coming. It’s gonna get much worse. Not a chance in hell im committing to a coach who hasn’t proved he can develop talent and is likely to get fired soon.
We have yet to see bottom with Pruitt. Make the change now or suffer more later
LOL yes it’s the FANS who are at fault for all the record breaking losses. Tell me how that worksSometimes WE fans(I most definitely include myself) just make things worse for ourselves. Now I guess we will lose this excellent recruiting class because all of our complaining. Coach Pruitt I still support you , but not Chaney !
I don't have an answer anymore. I have been positive about every coaching change since 2008. Is there no end to this nightmare. Does anyone on the hill really care anymore? If not just say it out loud so we can all move on. Sick to death of this. Wow!!!
Seriously, can you prove that one single commit has ever changed their mind because of someone being negative in Volnation? Cause if not, your entire point is null and void. As far as coaches not wanting to come here because some of us are negative, you obviously missed the past 2 searches at least. Nobody wanted this job, except the "up and comers".I am so happy for the miserable ones on this site. 2020 has been a banner year for you. Pleases continue to gloat over the misfortunes of our team.

Gotta pump the brakes on the "excellent" recruiting class... it was 10th in the nation but several SEC schools were still ahead of us. At this point I don't even support fulmer. The entire football coaching staff needs to be released. They have failed in pretty much every aspect from player development to actually winning games... hell we aren't even being competitive at this point.Sometimes WE fans(I most definitely include myself) just make things worse for ourselves.

This has been the SOP for well over a decade now. It provides outstanding results for the coffers, on field product and fan appreciation..... not so much........So our athletic department, university administration and boosters appear to be taking the route of doing nothing. The sheep will keep buying tickets, T-shirt’s and making donations.
Not for the "up and Comer" salary we were offering.
We will get legitimate interest from legitimate HCs when we decide to offer comparable salaries.

I’m sure a sleazy coach somewhere is promising him something crazy and reasonable, like maybe teaching him how to cover a slant route.
