Some of you act like we don't have any hope.

Let's use some logic
1. Best players opted out.

2. Heupels physical appearance has nothing to do with how good/bad of a coach he is. (Belicheck wore a cut off hoodie back in the day)

3. Interim DC was coaching

4. Defense sucked but now we have someone in place who should make us at least 30 spots better.

5. Our reporters make it seem like we're going to bring in some dudes this portal cycle

It was the music City bowl. We'll be all right

I was hoping people might be able manage their expectations a little bit better than they have given who has opted out, who was injured, coaching changes, etc…but some people are acting like we lost a CFP game or lost to Illinois in September or October. We lost a Music City in December. Let’s see where this goes over the next month with portal additions and staff changes.

I think this was a big learning season for Heupel. We all knew there was a lot of holes on the defense. We simply didn’t fill enough holes with the portal prior to the season.

our defense didn't look any worse without those players/DC. we would all have taken 30 points given up by our defense. offense looked slow and out of sync from the first snap against a very mid level big 10 team. Can't help but laugh at the physical appearance shots fired at Huep haha

we probably lost because of undisciplined offsides call on Illinois's last possession. we are very undisciplined

This team got bad karma starting out with McCoy out and losing Gibson 1st game, Boo being a head case and ineffective. D seemed to never have a chance.

Firing Heuple would be the dumbest decision DW could ever make. The talent is coming, if Heuple cannot take advantage of it then the hot seat, but he deserves a chance to rebound.

Almost every aspect of this team ran off the track somewhere during the season. Not sure why, but Heup has got to get the mojo going again for next year. It is possible with new coaches and impact players from the portal. Next year will be make it or break it for him. Don't think we necessary have to win 10 or 11 wins, but we need to be bigger & tougher, play harder, be more disciplined and show improvement during the year.

To a high quality coach, no games are meaningless.

Any staff with more common sense than a garden pea knew they were going to have several opt outs for a non-playoff game.

This team had several weeks to prepare other players.

Tenn has a better roster top to bottom than Illinois.

There were no new wrinkles on offense to attempt to confuse Illinois. No discernible defensive plan.

The defense over the year, and I’m not talking about schemes and calls, I’m talking about basic, you should’ve learned this **** in pop warner football tackling and tracking got worse.

Tennessee needs a coaching staff that’s intensely focused on the process throughout the whole year. High-quality reps in practiced and demanding excellence 100% of the time.

Players already have friends in college. They don’t need their coach to be their buddy. They need men that will instruct them about football and life.

The game last night was another example of a couple of games this year and last. It was an uninspired performance were nobody on the field was excited to play football. Meaningless bowl game is an excuse. It has happened during the regular season too when the games mattered. There is reason to be concerned after last nights game because apparently they are not using the portal very well based upon the talent on the field last night.
