Is that what they said at the donor meeting today?

Hell, I don’t know.

I’d hope you’d expound more on it. You seem to intimate you either throw your money around or are on the board of something somewhere.

We’ve got Hubbs saying Fulmer would probably insert himself as HC in a nightmare scenario (that he seemed to hint could be likely given how the team looked) and I’m all of a sudden making stuff up because I said they’d give Chaney a shot at interim first.

It’s funny how this works. I post that Kevin Simon told me directly that he felt like this was an 8 win team and it gets 30 likes and everyone believes it. Post some bad news and all of a sudden it’s “check the stats.”

I’m not a reporter. I’m not an insider by any stretch. We’re all on a messageboard anonymously throwing around things we hear, things we feel and things we think. That’s all this is. It ain’t some pissing contest where we throw **** at the wall so we look like we got out ahead of some big news.

The best thing UT fans can do is put a lid on it until next Saturday, then fill the stadium and support the hell out of this team. Give people who're paid a lot of money the chance to address issues and fix problems and see what they can do. Trashing the AD, UT admin and the university, hating on players, calling for heads to roll and fans to empty Neyland does nothing to help and much to hurt.

Recruits are reading and hearing all of this. It's bad enough-- no gain in making it worse.

This is exactly the point I was making a few pages ago about how Fans can affect recruiting negatively or positively.

I’d rather lose with a guy who cares and tries to lead than with JG who will lose and defend himself as tho he played great.

Great? He said not too good, not too bad. Critique if you want, but don't need disingenuous warping of statements. And how exactly did he play? Yall actin like he was 10/30 for 50 yards and 4 picks lmao. He didn't play great, I'd say mediocre given the opponent, but only the fans are acting like he was terrible. No coach or analyst.

His main negative plays were sacks and his pick. Below I try to breakdown each one. Please add any thoughts if anyone see it differently or additional info.

Sack 1 - 4:50 3rd Quarter. Complete and utter bust by Wanya Morris. As stated by the commentator.

Sack 2 (fumble) - 7:19 4th Quarter. CB blitz perfectly timed and unblocked. Just no way to see it coming as the CB is literally still staring down his receiver all the way up till JG receives the snap. Happened to be a setting up a deep throw to his right and he never had a chance. Not sure it's on anyone, though the wr on the bottom with Callaway could have maybe chipped him or impeded his path for a split second.

Sack 3 - 4:35 4th quarter. This one he identifies and points it out to Gray. Gray gets blown up right into JG. JG should have stepped to his right and up in the pocket a tad here.

Sack 4 - 2:37 4th quarter. This is on him. Counted 4.5 seconds to do something. Maybe no one was open, can't tell on tv, but gotta let it sling here. Sort of like his interception, it sucks, but gotta go for it or throw it out of bounds. He finally decides to take off and runs right into a lineman that Tatum eventually whiffs on against a nasty spin.

Int - 4:15 4th quarter. They only bring 4, 3 on the line, and a delayed lb blitz up the gut. We have our 5 + Gray leaking out right through the middle. Somehow Trey completely doesn't see the blitzer at all and Gray doesn't even attempt a chip block on his way out. Had he, there may have been a window to get it to him. Instead the blitzer is perfectly between Gray and JG, taking away the short throw. JG forces an ill advised pass with pressure right in his face where he absolutely can't take another sack. Not a good choice, but he had to try and do something. Flat poor blocking killed the play, desperation by JG ended it.

THANK YOU. Been saying this for 2 days. Luckily people actually listen to you haha. You are a wise man. Hope Peyton or some other huge name comes out and reminds the fans this. Not someone inside the program currently, but someone with clout.

All we can do is make choices with action. Help the situation or hurt it. Let's help the program we love.

I think they saw some issues with him being a first time HC and justified spending the money on chaney to really help him figure it out and to make sure he didn’t have to spend a ton of time on the offense.

Or... maybe the admin realized Pruitt needed an OC with experience he could trust to run his offense.

You're attacking the wrong person. I'm not the poster who made a comment about your stats or said you were making things up. I haven't said anything about you at all. I thought you were a donor. My mistake.

I think it’s safe to say our media is adding fuel to the fire. I didn’t watch the videos until now and now I have a total different view than before on players. @Bassmaster_Vol

One thing is for certain, so many here cry about how horrible the Knox media is and how they should go to heck....and then get affected by the Knox media. It's comical. People need to start doing research and waiting a minute before taking a tweet as gospel.
