No we are very serious...but these kids also want to win and go somewhere relevant as well. And we don’t have that and we have the look of potential instability...which is a disaster.

Look, I made $25.69 on Robinhood today. Is there like a tree or trash can y’all can point me to leave it. Since we obviously aren’t going to start the gofundme.

4 stars get cash
AND a partial scolly for sissy
AND a car
Mommy and Daddy get new jobs in Athens and a free place to live for 4-5 years. They have to be
able to watch the babies play.
The Bulldogs have bama envy. They do whatever it takes.
Championships are won on signing day.

Nylands mother is already an attorney south of Atlanta... I get your general point.. but I’ve gathered his family does well enough without having an athlete. The houses in his neighborhood (if that was his actual street looked pretty nice as well) everyone needs a little extra, but I’m sure the partial scholly to UT was just as attractive! Unless they couldn’t swing for out of state to be covered in that!!

No offense, but I'm not buying that we're serious. You don't keep hiring bargin bin coaches and expect elite results. You don't hang on for another year when the handwriting is on the wall that your current HC can't get it done.

People are just about done with this mess. Are they clueless or what?

Thank you. If anyone of our mega boosters is interested in adopting a grown man I will gladly spend my inheritance ensuring UT football is well taken care of.

Lots of facts there.

I’ve always been curious of this, if a player is given all these incentives to sign with a team and he decides to transfer after a year (take Gilbert for example) do they have to give those things back or is a team just SOL?

Who's responsible for that? Do you honestly think Pruitt is the man for this job? If yes, then why?

I would very much like to hear your unvarnished opinion on this...

He and LA have given their opinion in pretty straightforward fashion. As recently as today.

How are we serious when Jeremy Pruitt is still currently employed 😂 a select few may be serious but as a collective, UT is not serious about winning in football.

I disagree. Let me make a suggestion to a bunch of you. Rewind your expectations back to what they were at the start of this year and gear up for next year. If next year is more of the same, THEN we'll have our answer.

There was a time where we were begging for football... "Please give us football, and I won't complain about anything." All of a sudden we're calling for coaches' heads. It's senseless.

1. I hate that we're comparing Pruitts' record this year to past years/coaches when he had virtually no off-season due to covid, and we're playing an all-SEC schedule. There's no season in recent history that's remotely comparable. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED, FOLKS. So what if some coaches are handling it well?... many, many are not.

2. Sorry, but Covid absolutely IS an excuse to give Pruitt a free pass this year. It's a fallacy to say that everyone has had to deal with it, because the simple truth is that quarantine protocols have NOT been the same from team to team.

3. Instability in the program is as much a problem as the coach himself. Let the staff get a full boat of their own guys... 2018 was a transition class, so very few of those guys would have probably been recruited by the current staff. 2019 and 2020 were really good classes, but those guys are sophomores and true freshmen. The MAJORITY of those classes has never had spring football.

4. What proven winner is going to come coach here? I suppose it's possible, but I seriously anyone wants this job, given that you guys are going to put their nuts in a vice if they're not progressing at the rate you think is appropriate.

5. It's very likely the one-time transfer rule is approved for next year. You really want to axe the coach right before then? Something like 120+ guys went into the portal just last week. We need stability right now, until this litany of transfers shakes itself out.

6. I don't care about Freeze's proclivity towards hookers. He lied to his bosses and completely screwed that program for years. THAT'S the sure-fire, take-us-to-the-promised-land guy? I mean, maybe, but I don't know that I'd roll those dice. You think the last ten years have been bad, well lob in heavy sanctions and you'll find out it actually can get a lot worse.

Gah, sorry... this post blew up on me. I'll stop there...

Everyone dealt with Covid this year, everyone. Including first year coaches, (one who beat our ass). It's not a valid excuse. It just isn't. Even with the lack of an off-season, it's inexcusable to lose to likes of Kentucky and Arkansas. Expectations for most fans (and yes they are reasonable expectations, get out of your Vandy mindset) were 6-4 or 7-3. No one in thier right mind was cool with 2-8 or 3-7. That's completely laughable. Plus it's not a this year thing. Last year was extremely ugly too. GA State, BYU, blown out by rivals. That win streak was overblown, and it honestly only happened due to some Butch hold overs. It's clear Pruitt is in over his head. Yes the team he took over was a mess, he's gotten a lot better talent in here. But that talent is being wasted. And I don't see things magically getting better. The writing is on the wall and has been for a while now.

The writing is absolutely on the wall. I agree. But I choose to believe we can improve. Also, you glossed over a lot of my supporting evidence and reiterated the same arguments that I already addressed, so I won't rehash them. Whether it's inevitable that Pruitt is going to get canned or not, I don't believe this is a good time to be changing coaches. Look, you're obviously set in your opinion, so debate is pointless. Just give us a break from the incessant negative platitudes.
