One more thought...

The 2017 Vols were one of the most uninspired, unfocused, poorly coached, poorly conditioned, poorly developed and unconfident teams you will ever see. I would expect far more inspiration, focused, better coached, better conditioned, better developed and a far more confident team in 2018.

Last year's team was just a few plays away from a bowl game and although Pruitt may be telling a lot of people that UT is going to struggle this year, I'd bet the farm he's singing a totally different tune behind closed doors.

When UT heads to Athens 4-0, Butch should send every player on the team a letter of apology.

This is what baffles me the most. What were our coaches doing all season long? Like, our whole team was out in the wilderness, no direction, no motivation, no comaraderie, nothing.

Towards the end of the year, I thought Trey and JG were trying to show more leadership (at least in front of the cameras), but it's hard to lead when everyone knew the coaches were dead meat and we're still losing every game.

I think this team is thirsting for coaching. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a handful of individual Eureka! moments that lead to some big-time improvements. I'd really like to be correct on this hypothesis specifically in the trenches and at QB.

I heard a rumor from a guy that played a golf outing with Pruitt a few weeks ago. He said bet the farm on UT against WV and UF. Even if the lines were straight up.

I would refuse to walk out the of tunnel before I would bend over for Vandy like that. That was one of the worst offenses in all of football..you don't have to be a genius to stop that.

I get what you're saying, but to offer a counter point, Pruitt held camps like this at Georgia, Alabama, and at Florida State. He evaluated talent at these places just like he is here. Very few of the commitments he took at these places were 3 stars with little offers. Did he take some while there? I'm sure he did take some, but for the most part they were highly ranked players that everyone wanted. I don't think it's asking too much, even following a 4-8 season, to ask that we sign a much better class than SC or MS State. I'm sure that if we're honest all of us would rather have Nolan Smith than Jalil Clemons in this class. I'm sure coach would also. Hopefully these players help us and then after we start winning we can recruit with the Ga's and Bama's of this world. But it isn't too much to ask for us to sign a top 5-10 ranked class, even following 4-8. We are Tennessee and we have the highest recruiting budget in the country with one of the best coaching staffs in the country.

Why didn’t you tell Pruitt that when he posed for a pic with your kids? Why don’t you wait and see where we finish after signing day? Why don’t you wait till we see the actual product on the field? Because you are a freaking worry wart like several old women I know.

And that’s fair. That’s what Clemson did. But we have a lot to offer a kid: proven coaching, facilities, resources, post football opportunities etc. we have more to offer a kid than 85% of the other teams in this country, in spite of the past 10 years.

Our HFC has proven nothing much as a HFC.

Read a few. Nah, you worry a lot. I know you're a big fan. But you worry like my mother in law. lol


4-8 after 0-8 even Bama had a 2 star last year

We are recruiting well for where we are at as a program.

Geez, I thought this was a thread about Burrell, but went back the last 3-4 pages and not a single mention of him. Is there not another thread under "Football" to post comments about the 2017 season??
