We had to endure similar prognostications of total doom after the SC game last year. Not a lot of NY6 bowl win projections after that stinker. Our fan character coefficient levels are taking the biggest hit.

At the point NY6 bowl was the minimum, the goal including for the coaches and players was Atlanta, and they failed at that. The reaction after SC had nothing to do with seeing signs of a potential let down, it was a result of the let down happening.

When was the last time you saw the episode where we ended a season with 11 wins and a top 6 finish? Y'all are nuts.

Reasonable assessment, but our playbook is vanilla too and that's on Heupel.

If the play selections we've seen are all we can get out of this team after the play selections we saw last year, what happened?

Something has changed radically in the tempo we play most of the time and play mix.

Last year we were excited because of our exciting offense Heupel runs and hopeful that "what WR wouldn't want to play in this scheme?" This year..... that offense is nowhere to be seen.

That's on our coach. He calls the plays. He designs the overall offense. Where is the Coach Josh Heupel of last year and his offense?

Offensive line happened and Milton isn't Hooker. None of the receivers can do what Hyatt did either. He was hungry, these guys except Bru have a lot of growing up to do

Oh I see you now. Don't even have to look up your history. Here's my guess:

Biatched and Moaned when CJH was hired

Spent majority of first year complaints and refusing to admit the terrible situation CJH inherited. Talked massive shat about him after every loss

Spent last year eating your hat except after the SC game. Then you busted out post after post about how embarrassing that loss was, season is over, team is trash.

Mostly kept quiet after orange bowl.

Now here you are again.


You aren't a fan of the vols. You are a fan of your own ego. It's gross

Overreaction?
1. Regularly churn out seasons with 3-4 losses. Assumption and overreaction on your part just 3 games into this season and not a single down being played in the upcoming seasons. With NIL and Portal in play no one can assume anything in the future.
2. Heup at the end of the year whatever adjustments. End of year?They talk weekly about issues, wins or losses.
3. He knows what's at stake? DW created the stakes by hiring and supporting the coaches and staffs we have today. It's not just about Football and you should recognize it extends to all Tennessee Athletics as well. What is at stake and who says we will not contend for an SEC Championship every year including this one?

Rome was not built in one day. Some seem to think we have reached the mountain's peak last year. Reality is that we did not but built something to climb on it takes time.
So yes, this is an Overreaction and reach to think something has to be done at the end of the season 3 games into it. All this does is create drama.

Whatever, Sparky. Nothing I said wasn’t factual.

The team failed a bigtime gutcheck last night.
Certain Fans are failing theirs as well today.
The experts think more of this team than the loudest fans do today.

Last night was crying ugly. It was painful to watch.
This coaching staff has to turn this around. I'll freak out when and if they don't.
The 2nd tier teams in the SEC are licking their chops, and it is up to the players and coaches to bow up and serve bad a$$ery out like candy, or fold up and be the 2nd best team on the field in most of our games the rest of the season.
The OLine replacements have to stop playing stupid, and the defense has to tackle with their entire bodies and wrap opponents up to take them down.

The VOLS played weak last night; mentally and physically weak.

Keep raising prices, donations, making it harder for the average man to attend the game Danny. That might work when winning but it's not substanible with mediocre play. Danny is gonna price himself out of a job if he isn't careful.

I've decided
  • The 2023 Volunteers are not going to live up to my expectations
  • There is no component of the team that is elite - can't blame DBs, QB, RBs, OL, DL for poor performance. The VOLS as a team are vanilla
  • I love Volunteer football even when it frustrates. I love our color of orange, Davey Crocket, Smokey, Rocky Top, Checkerboards.
  • I choose to believe that Heupel will get as much out of this team and staff as he can and will recruit to fill gaps. He's my/our Coach.
  • I will tune into every game and support this team while they work to figure it out.

You get it!
Could I add one more to your list?
For me, I will only watch TN games as a form of entertainment, only worry about what I can control and the more serious life issues that affect me or my family.

Our offensive mastermind is now coaching at USF.

Games are how they are measured. One game against UF is a huge indicator. I’m sure you’d prefer people wait until the season is over to judge … but this is Tennessee and they can see the writing in the wall. The Vols are still several recruiting successes away from being a quality program. 7 wins this season.

What determines whether or not it is an overreaction will be determined by what comes next. Does the team learn and improve or do the same stupid mistakes keeps happening.
This team is not playing to anywhere near it’s potential. That cannot continue and be acceptable

Agreed. It's concerning that the AP game wasn't a wake up call and now we're left to wonder if this one will be.

He should be. It was a very important measurement point for the program. It was a serious marker for evaluation. The program failed that test miserably, and it did not seem to be an anomaly. This program was likely to take a minor step back this season, but the first important marker of the season showed major cause for concern.

And it has major implications for recruiting, I can already hear the upcoming negative recruiting from this one, that 2022 was a one time flash in the pan

I know it’s one game, but Danny White has invested way too much time, energy, and financial resources into this program to see it regularly churn out seasons with 3-4 losses. In a short period of time, he has been arguably the best AD we’ve ever had. I trust that whatever plays out this season, he will sit down with Heup at the end of the year and discuss making whatever adjustments are necessary to put us in the position to compete for an SEC Championship every single year. He knows what’s at stake.

Regularly churn out 3 to 4 losses? He's been here just over 2 seasons. Get a grip
