I've watched the administration administrate.
I've watched the coaches coach.
I've watched the players play.
In any organization / school / business, if there is inconsistency at the top, there will be inconsistency throughout the rest of the program.
We have inconsistent leadership, and it's showing in our play.
On the surface "it's just a game" certainly rings true. But dig a little deeper and you'll find an athletic program that doesn't have an identity, and in the end, that's very unfair to the athletes they've brought in. It's as if they're rolling the dice and hoping for the best.
I guess it's easy to rail and call for heads to roll, but honestly, I'm not sure changes can be made until the school decides where it really wants to go.
Until then we'll get a pendulum swinging back and forth between sluggish decisions to knee-jerk decisions...
The University of Tennessee has a responsibility to shape young hearts and minds. It also has the responsibility to help shape students' futures.
Students/athletes MUST find an anchor in their leadership, and right now we're flailing around in the ocean.
Sadly, for a wildly faithful fanbase, a 1-point loss on the road that we should have won is the least of our problems.
Maybe one day someone at the top will have the balls to do what must be done to right the ship.
Until then...go Vols.
