The problem with Butch wasn't just the x's and o's. The locker room was split into several factions. The foxes were running the hen house. It was not salvageable imo. I know where we were and the difficulty in hiring a new coach, but we could have hired a coach with experience. The Pruitt hire was never going to work. Coach Fulmer, who I supported then hired a prodigy. Someone he hoped he could mold. It was a huge mistake. There were other coaches with tons more experience than Pruitt. The problems went even higher than Fulmer when it came to disfunction. We were never going to land an established, successful power 5 coach but we could have hired an established winner at a step down from that.

The four types of Vol fans:

1, The Sunshine Pumper: Identified by the never ending positive attitude and eats Unicorn Poop every morning. Great people but can grow old......QUICK.

2. The Gloom and Doomer: Identified by the continuous blathering of impending doom. The first thing they do in the morning is gouge a kitchen fork in their leg several times to set the mood for the day.

3. The Side Jumper: Identified by the uncanny ability to turn on the coach, team, admin, individual player etc. at any time during the season, game or even play. Can have a coach fired or enshrined in the Hall of Fame five times during the same game Every morning reads 20 articles in every sporting site then comes to Volnation to see how they should think.

4. The Old Vol Fan: Identified by the dazed and often confused look on their face. They have been trampled by the opposing opinions of fans, writers, ESPN and a team that's performance has been both uplifting and dumbfounding from play to play. Every morning drinks the Kool Aid, faces toward The Hill and smiles.
5. The WGWTFA! fan : Al Wilson approved, Peyton's wit, Bring the best ya' got and meet us in the parking lot.
Drinks tequila and eats slowed cooked protein produced by you guessed it our damn selves. Tells realists to blow it out their arse.
 
Any of you morans know of best MTB trails up in NE TN? Round of beers on the winner...at Che Guevarra.
Nope but know so good ones on this side of the mts. Also love Che's. That the one in Knox or have they expanded? Need more good mexican places here - especially a Soccer Taco. Not that I'm drinking these days, but man those huge margaritas...
 
I don't know how much of a problem that will be moving forward. Obviously Maurer did it, but (maybe I'm completely wrong here) in the past if a guy transferred he had to sit exactly 365 days right? So it behooved a player to transfer earlier rather than later.

But with the new transfer system there's a defined cutoff. So if a guy doesn't start Game 1, the incentive is to stick around. Maybe the guy ahead gets hurt or benched and you get your chance. If not, you can still transfer and be eligible immediately.

I think this scenario it’s more likely they hit the transfer portal early out of frustration and emotions. In general, I think you’re right though
 
I firmly believe they haven’t announced a starter to prevent attrition in the QB room. If you announce too early, at least one of the QBs is gonna be upset and hit the portal, then you’re an injury away from being in a really, really bad spot. But there’s a clear QB1.
Don't see any value in transferring now. You'd have to be....Brian Maurer...to do that.
 
Team knows who it is. When you play sports as long as those kids have, you know THE GUY is. They know. All college coaches are goofy. Provides no real advantage over the competition. Think that stuff is overrated.
I'm sure they do. But public vote of confidence goes a long way in helping Milton take ownership of the team and more of a leadership role. That's JMO. I'm sure it's probably inconsequential either way.

Maybe they feel like they aren't announcing any other starters, why should QB be different. They might just quietly name the starter when they release the depth chart.

I substitute teach at my alma mater while I’m working on getting my teachers certification. They had a big “protest” today because the dress code “oppresses” women because they can’t wear booty shorts and crop tops. Jesus Christ man.
I'm assuming the boys also can't wear booty shorts and crop tops?
