[NMVol]

VolNation--proof of eternal recurrence. Take a bow Frederich.

Always remember that Hubbs and crew draw a paycheck from the AD.

Hubbs might but not the rest of them. The rest of them draw a paycheck from Hubbs.

The days of the night shift are back!

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Kiffen had a woman talking nonsense in his ear.

So have a lot of us at some point unfortunately.

The most Tennessee thing ever is we beat Texas Am Saturday and all this goes out the window and in 12 months we’re here again after another 5-7 season

 

[Dudleys87]

QB development is huge in the college game
Where does Tennessee lack: QB

Who can change that in a hurry Freeze or Kiffin

 

[GoBigOrange86]

The prospect of firing Pruitt does not by itself make me excited, as I have no reason to believe we'll actually replace him with someone better. Freeze still seems a reach. Kiffin I don't see ever happening. Too many bridges burned. Beyond that, it's, what...Napier? Maybe Chadwell? Both rolls of the dice.

 

[i2amavol]

Why stick with a failure? That makes absolutely no sense, at least a change shows that the university attempts to care about winning..

I don't think most people realize how bad off the culture of the program was when Butch Jones left. That was not something that was simply going to change overnight. Pruitt has also recruited very well, given the circumstance that he was put in.

Have I been satisfied with the on-field results? Of course not, but all in all, he would leave the team with a much better culture, and something a good coach could take and make successful really quick. I think we are already seeing what a difference a QB who is not a head case can make.

If the administration cares about winning, they will get an established winner, or stick with who we have. A $20 million buyout isn't anything to sneeze at either.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

I’d hate to work in a place that wouldn’t allow me to give my honest opinion and I always has to spin crap.

The New York Times is hiring

They haven’t been mentally ready for a big game since Georgia. The 1st half anyway

It’ll be the same game plan same result

 

[Dustin4Vols]

I’m ready

Freeze had Bo Wallace. Coached him up

 

[nesbuddha66]

Even if your worth your salt as a transfer what says come to Tennessee?

Nothing around the program says play here right now.

Well, maybe something says play here right now.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I gotcha but I think if he’s fighting for his job he can’t just say oh watch me I’m going to land x,y, and z.

You just never know. He has relationships from these players, the ones that signed elsewhere. They communicate. We've seen players, highly ranked players, rumored to be unhappy. He may know of some that are willing to come to play for him. Also, if he does get next year, three and for year players have less risk as they can go test the league after one season. They may be willing to gamble on Pruitt.

 

[Orange Studs]

He's already on the hot seat. It's flaming.

Hehehe

Historically, Texas A&M is good for at least one head-scratching loss per season...

Jesus I go watch a YouTube video and come back. Now I’m 4 pages behind and apparently we want kiffin back. God I love you guys

 

[BJWeeks]

The next hire will be with the Vols for over 10 years and lead us back. Don't let us down this time please UT

 

[Dudleys87]

Excellent point

 

[NoogaVol96]

I normally skip the pages but I saw AV and MV posts so yes I just read 15+ pages.

 

[Atlanta VOL]

Was hoping he had dropped in when I went over to check.

I did...found his email too

 

[KPT_VFL]

HOW DO I, BRADY HOKE, POST A GIF?

Some of us have been ok with Kiffin back for a while. Yes.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Put Freeze and Kiffin aside for sake of this conversation. Who legitimately do you think we are going after?

Kiffin's gonna walk in to his introductory presser playing back in black and wearing mirrored aviators
