TN biggest problem was the contact tracing. Which not every team participated in. Hubbs, AP and Lewis said this multiple times. Morris missed almost 50 days. I think Wright missed like 40 days. Other guys missed as well. Is it the end all excuse to how poorly we performed? Absolutely not. Did it have an effect? Absolutely.

When were all these missed days, prior to or after game #3?

He went 8-5 in year two with a top 30 defense.... covid protocols severely hampered this team.... year 4 can be a pretty decent bounce back year.

Why did they get worse as the year went on tho? The more we practice and the more time we had to prepare for opponents... the worse. Was. We were also very healthy this year.

Which way is better? Constantly firing every three years and revamping the roster or allowing this coach to grow and build the roster? A big part of our issue this season was the covid protocols at our university....I feel he deserved a fourth year but was ok with replacing him..... not like this though.

Nothing about the way this season went was deserving of another year.

Tomorrow has to be the day. If he's staying or going, I think tomorrow it breaks. Has to because Monday is the team meeting when players are back in town.

He was welcoming the move ins today, got commitments from a walk-on, HT and big cat today, all after it looks that he was in on a hire of Steele, does anyone still think he’s getting fired?

We had no QB and weren’t able to have young players ready..... I thought this year was a throwaway year before it started..... if JG played like he did the first two and a half games.... we wouldn’t be having these conversations.

That would be amazing. Considering what he has experienced with the team and missing his family, I thought he would definitely transfer to the west coast. Maybe the transfer rule helped us here.

If he was going anywhere he was going to Bama.

I just want to win..... there always reasons for success and reasons for failure..... I feel he can still be a success and there are reasons for last years failure( some causes by Pruitt and some not)

We all want to win but being successful means being teachable also. Going to be hard to be successful when your AD has to do all the PR for ya. Pruitt hasn't earned that status yet. He is having his third cleaning of coaches and firing one in mid season that he hired in his third season. If Pruitt stays I will be hoping that things get turned around cause I have been a Vol fan as long as some in here been born. lol I hope Pruitt if he stays proves me wrong. I hope he does change cause I believe his success here depends on it.

We could have done a better job of PR when the season ended.... instead we decided to make it much harder for Pruitt to be successful.

Its starting to really look like Pruitt is going to be back. Disappointed but got to get mentally prepared for "His Jerkness" to come back. I do like the Steele hire and if Pruitt does come back I sure hope he can get Garner but I just can't imagine these two coming without making sure Pruitt backs off and starts being a CEO. Doubt Pruitt can do that. I think he is to cocky and thinks way to highly of himself.

I am not saying this in a smart way at all so please don't take it that way but we could the IF's all night. JG never showed consistency in his 10 years here. (sarcasm)
