Is this a tweet from one of our players laughing?

[OL SMOKEY]

Cut him today!!!!!

 

[McDad]

He's a junior and this is the 1st time ive heard his name. Great way to make a name for yourself, kid.

 

[TNnative]

Move Murphy to the scout team and let him make the decision to transfer.

No. Move him to the McDonald's team.

 

[BreatheUT]

That seems to be the culture. They don't care about the loss.

If this is real it's what is wrong with the program and the new normal. Some of these players that were recruited think this is ok. Also could be an entitled frustrated kid who didn't get any touches and is acting out like it will be accepted in the program.

 

[Grudenhaslanded]

This explains a lot. Tennessee football is dead for the foreseeable future.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Start from scratch!

Get rid of Pruitt and cut scholarships to those who don’t care anymore.

Pray that Mike Leach will give Fulmer a 2nd chance so he can get to work and start developing his own players into winners.

Get rid of this endless drama that’s surrounding our program. I’m fed up with it.

 

[MiramarVol]

Haha. Let them blow off steam. If Pruitt cant get their respect, loyalty or effort then who are we to hold them to a higher standard. Hes right it IS funny.

Have you ever had a boss as undeserving, inept and clueless as Beldar? It's a tough gig. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at the situation.

You do you Jordan Murphy. Pruitt just told us y'all didn't lack for effort. So, I'm sure he fully in charge of this situation and things will only get better.

You know Pruitt had to say that. When you got upperclassmen who feel entitled and have no work ethic cause the former boss let them run amuck that's where the problem mad. You can't get mad cause you were out worked by Freshmen or complain about playing time cause you janky. Transfer out to SoMiss or MissSt. Let those who show heart and fight play regardless of seniority. CJP said the best will play. The young guns will make mistakes but they'll get it fixed and get us turned around. It's gonna take a while to get rid of Butches stench.

Were short on depth until then you keep them

I disagree. Keeping someone simply because you are low in numbers is poor management. The other players are watching to see how they CAN act (least required performance) and still be on the team. That which you allow, you promote.

You don’t cure a cancer by just cutting a little piece of it out.

Show that attitude, commitment and work keeps you on the team. Not what the numbers look like.

 

[Bob Neyland]

So let me ask y'all this....is Pruitt trying to play as many freshmen since this is the attitude of most of the upperclassmen on the team?

Yes

 

[TNnative]

Screw short on depth. We can put a third string lineman at WR before this POS sees the field.

 

[CladInOrange]

I’m not one to over exaggerate but this isn’t good....at all.

I don't mind getting rid of a kid that doesn't want to give his all. I wouldn't tolerate it. This players needs to go

 

[Orangeslice13]

....?

Sarcasm man!

Jeez, some of you on here...

I’m old.
I still don’t get what you were saying so ....I guess.


Carry on

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

It’s the culture at UT.

 

[KeyVol14]

It’s the culture at UT.

Thanks Butch

And if that is the case, then Pruitt has my support in playing these Fresh/Soph who WANT to wear the orange and understand it is a PRIVILEGE to don the power T.

 

[jerrync]

No. Move him to the McDonald's team.

Very GOOD idea!

Play with 10 if we have too but cut this pos.

It isn’t up to Pruitt to get their respect. If they want to play SEC ball, they need to focus.

There’s an old rule in business... “If you can’t change the people, change the people.”

Good riddance.

 

[The Original Fade]

Hey J Murphy, do us all a favor and just quit.

 

[vanillagorilla]

He has just deleted the tweet.

 

[Sara Clark]

He deleted the tweet about 45 seconds ago.

He has just deleted the tweet.

The internet is forever.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Start revoking scholarships. Anyone who thinks losing any game is funny, let alone a game to Georgia State, does not deserve to represent this university.

 

[DaUndergroundMan]

I'll be less cryptic. This is Pruitt's situation to handle. The optics are bad, sure. It reflects poorly on the team, program but most of all, the head coach.

It doesn't damage the brand anywhere near what happened Saturday with GAST.

There's one guy who should handle this, nd make sure it or GAST never happens again. Hes the same guy we pay millions to represent and lead this program.

He's doing a turrible job, aight??? I get that.

But we are calling for players to take charge and restore order. That's insane. The culture the play, the gameplan, the execution, the very livelihood and future of this program lay in the lap of one Jeremy Pruitt.

It's his job, when the players take to charge people start falling on helmets. That's bad optics too. Either Jeremy is man enough for this job, or he isnt, it's not fair to keep putting this all back on the players.
