The sooner we realize we aren't a top program anymore the better. I gave up when Dooley was hired and fired. I knew then we weren't gonna be great anymore. We don't have the people in place that want to make us great nor will we for the foreseeable future apparently. I basically glance at the scoreboard when we are playing and move along. I hate that but it is what it is right now.

Depends once again on context he is a booster in the fact he provides services and endorsement for the university, he is not a Big Dog booster that is securing products for the university. My employer makes donations every year, buys tickets that he gives away for families for a chance to experience Neyland but if you ask him in conversation he will tell you he is not a booster for UT. I actually agree with you on a lot of things from time to time but trying to use semantics to stir the pot is kinda amateurish for you Bru lol. @BruinVol sorry forgot to quote you.

Everyone log off the site and go watch the new Disney movie Safety about the Clemson player. Good movie. Its shows how Clemson players have each others back no matter what. All Tennessee will get is a 30 for 30 about Schiano Sunday

There are two simple ways that can be easily done IF two very strong willed coaches would be humbled enough to know this thing can be fixed.

1) fulmer must get his ass out of coaches meetings and away from practice. He’s got to be an AD and not a coach

2) Pruitt must get his ass away from his coordinators and let them do their job. If chooses to do defense that’s fine but that has to be clearly defined. He must completely get his hands off the offense. He must have his EDo conversion now of next year fails


If those two things happen we can win 7 maybe 8 games next year and this program can start to have some solid footing

You’re as hard headed as the Gump if you think these are remotely possible.

Wrong. As soon as we stop believing we’re a top program, we will become a bottom feeder permanently. Gotta keep swinging and trying to find a coach. Eventually we will get it righr

Hes had plenty of time to figure out that he can't be meddling on the offensive side of the ball. He did it from the very beginning with Helton and did it again with Chaney.
This together with not firing Friend and playing #2 too long, both issues on the offensive side of the ball, have lead to his downfall.

His best approach would have been to let Chaney do his thing, never hired Friend to begin with, but at the very least parted ways with him, and managed the QB position differently. Had he done those things I seriously believe we'd be looking at a completely different situation today. But he's just too stubborn.

Harsin taking that auburn gig just shows home schools and dream jobs don’t mean **** when that checkbook opens up.
That’s is a really good hire.
Smh it just makes me shake my head at how other programs get things done, while we were the bed time and time again.



I hope somehow someway we can add Kevin Steele back to our staff.

I’d see who Boise State targets and immediately offer him double, whoever it might be

to be fair the way we finished last season the success was only reinforcing that his style was working. Perhaps this season has been opening to him. The 2016 season for Kelly at ND kind of eye opening

One more season of Pruitt will set the program back years. We can’t afford it.

How did we go from "this weekend is important for him to not get blown out"

To getting blown out. 3-7. 6 straight double digit losses.

And they now hinge it all on this investigstion?!? Look at the on-field failure!!!

The failure was so total, as well. You can’t point to one thing we did well this season.

If Chaney could be turned loose (if that's the issue) and the offense takes off, it would be absolutely perfect. Wouldn't ever have to worry about him leaving for another job when successful like Joe Brady
