I knew the O line would struggle once sec play started. WVU destroyed the. UF has a wayyyyyyy superior d line. So why expect magic from the players. Then going for it on every 4th down is crazy. Then he loses his mind on them on the sidelines. Now it's a fumble and 1 play touchdown to open the half. 33-3. Pruit is a first year coach not realizing the team isn't loaded and expecting bama results. This year is over. And this will effect recruiting.

Well, I would rather have a Coach that will light a fire under their asses and expect results over a ho hum, at least we tried mentality from the last Coach.

I'm not sure if he has lost the team. You would have to be in the locker room and practice to know if he has lost the team.

Give him a chance, he has a roster full of champions of life. I'm glad he got a penalty called on him. That was pass interference all the way. Cheer for another team, y'all hating like this are just as soft as that "team" that took the field tonight. What did you expect 8-4 gtfoh. That's sorry! GBO!

UT has become a lottery ticket for worthless coaches....We hire em, Fire em and watch them take intern jobs while we pay their buyout....Well it is going to start hitting the powers that be in the pocketbook here soon because the fans aren't going to be coming out anymore to watch this crap style of football...When Alabama comes to town there will be as many Bama fans in the crowd as UT...That truly makes me sick.

There appears to be those that believe if we had hired a different coach-he would have been able to turn the worst team in UT History around in a few months, not just turn them around, but be headed for an SEC Championship-but then again there are those that believe the earth is flat.....

There is not a coach anywhere that can turn this program around in 1 season hell not even 2. People expect Pruitt to win against Florida a team that has had UT's number for over 20 years? Butch won because he had so much talent even he couldn't F it up.

I can only imagine Pruitt, coming from his background, is living a life of HELL! Lol, it's so bad, it's almost funny!

Respectfully disagree... coaches determine game strategy, who plays, what plays are called, and have full responsibility for prep and in game decisions. What we saw was a very inexperienced head coach sending bad vibes to his staff and team. He may get it together, but the lack of coaching on something as simple as "if the kickoff is received at the goal line... fair catch it for God's sake.... and take your yards."

Pruitt hasn’t lost this team, most these guys are just plain soft, mentally and physically. They have a losers mentality right now. I don’t know if Pruitt is the guy, but I’ll give him time. I do think we are only half way through this nightmare that started ten years ago. Long, Long, long way to go.

This team has no pride, and no sense if the importance of "Tennessee". It has no meaning to them, because it has no meaning to the 'Bama born and bred former 'Bama coach.

I think he's a good man, and likely a good coordinator, but I'm not sure he really wants to be here...certainly not with these kind of results. Other teams weren't exactly beating his door down when this opportunity came along. I sense a first rate meltdown coming on. I hope I'm wrong.

It's ridiculous to constantly blame our players for "lack of execution." Head coach Jeremy in-over-his-head Pruitt is the one getting paid millions for this. And yet he'll stand at that podium, act like a prick and all the goats will continue blindly carrying on with their love affair with this "real football coach." Nonsense.

Six turnovers. How did Pruitt cause that?

Possibly regretting his decision to take the job. Not sure if it is a talent issue or a coaching issue at this point. Next week is going to be ugly, more so than tonight.

I'm confused.

We don't want a coach that claps and pats his guys on the back after a bad play, but we also don't want a coach that yells and kicks a board when his players are lost in their heads.

Our fan base is a conflicted mess. Maybe if we were a positive, cohesive unit it might rub off on the team.

I'm sure the players read a ton of VolNation...
