Why are you even talking about those 2. Dead things must stay dead.Way to blow everything out of proportion. We were talking Butch v Dooley. Not a single person has said 1 good thing Dooley's teams did. I have provided evidence. Guess the Dooley lovers already gave up.
Butch didn't actually have 8 losses.
Boohoo give me 1 4-8 season vs 6-7, 5-7, 5-7. At least we had a couple good seasons. Best back to back seasons in over 15 years.
That is one of the concerns of this staff...usually a new staff starts very strong because they can sell the vision without having to show evidence that it works.
I have been following the Vols most of my 54 years. Been a Vol fan as soon as I was old enough to know what was going on. I have been mixing it up on message boards since the internet started. I am not going anywhere, my skin is plenty thick. GBO!It's a message board. People always say stuff here they likely wouldn't say face to face. It is what it is. Gotta have thick skin and be willing to mix it up at times.
Somebody should tell the teams that are closing with all of these recruits we are losing.In the past that was easier with the over signing, and attrition. Wasn't as much as usual and limits in place. Plus comparing Tennessee to other schools involves many other factors; recruiting base, recent history, big splashy hire, team needs, head coaching vision about how to rebuild, past coaches system vs new. Typical recruiting classes that have big ratings lean towards "skill" positions pushing the star rating higher. Pruitt has focused in other areas which has reduced overall rating a bit. If improvement is achieved this upcoming season, ranking will/should improve quite a bit.

Tell them what, that the sky is falling because some Tennessee fans see anything other than the number one class as a sign that this coach is not worthy. In reality, is because every person wants to have that negative hot take so they can be the enlightened one.

That's the weakest s*** I've ever heard. If the only thing stopping a recruit from coming to Tennessee is money we should start paying elite athletes too. It's not though. People don't want to play at Tennessee because we haven't been relevant in nearly 20 yearsI always felt this was a matter of “If it gets too close, Saban will come drop 500K and a new ‘2019 car of your choosing’at his feet” kind of situation.
Pack this one up boys. Let’s finish with Wright and move on.
Not even close. Those 2010 and 2014 classes were great. Some players just couldn't stay healthy or didn't live up to expectations. There's no guarantee any of the guys in this class do either though. Outside of the offensive line this class really isn't that great either. There's no elite pass rushers, corners, receivers, or tailbacks or linebackers. There are some guys with potential. Like Crouch, Gray, Keyton, Harrison, Tank, Harris, and Fields, but saying adding Wright will give us a better class than the 2010 or 2014 class is crazyWe have 3 spots...maybe. Close with a 5 star OT and it’s better than we’ve done since Fulmer.
