Tennessee's leadership has killed it's football program. The ramifications will soon be felt by the entire university and the community at large.

Really tough time to be a fan. And it can get worse, which is why we need a massive hire.

It can get worse. I don’t think the AD has realized that yet. The ~$350M in stadium improvements make no sense to me. I seriously think there is about to be a collapse in fan interest in Tennessee football. I don’t think the fanbase is ready for the 3 year rebuild it’s going to take to fix the mess we have been watching this season. I think attendance and season ticket sales are about to fall through the floor.

I’m just waiting for the hire to be announced so I can check out until September. And then I will be watching games like I have this year - flip to another channel in the 2nd quarter and follow the score on the ticker or my phone. Too painful to watch live.

We suck. We screw this hire up and we will never get back to the UT of old.

I can't imagine any good coach will want to come here. This is a massive rebuild. Anyone who thinks Dooley is worse than butch needs their head examined. We need 2 Ron Zooks to get to the point where an elite coach should want to come here.

Destroyed by uga, bama , Missouri , and Vandy. And a loss to Kentucky on top of that.

I don't even know what to think or feel anymore about Vols football.

Without a big hire, we may become Nebraska/Notre Dame. A former giant , now just Continually middling in the mire with little hope to ever climb out.

Sigh

Earlier this year I heard things were really bad within the football program. I found it hard to believe the program had sunk as low as I was told. I thought it was exaggerated. Tonight I believe.

It is indeed a sad day in our history. While any new coach is a risk, I think most agree we can't get much worse, so only place to go is up!!

There may be better athletes on this team than Dooley’s last team but there are not any more good football players. I really have a hard time looking at the UT coaching job as any more attractive than it was when CBJ was hired. After 5 more mediocre years, it’s possibly even less attractive

Come on Gus, come to us!! We won't want to fire you if you barely lose to the National champion.

Yeah I just can't see why any coach in a comfortable position would want to take on this challenge.

Stadium improvement ain't gonna happen because the stadium won't be filled next year

I keep lowering my expectations and the Vols keep crashing down below them again.

Worst feeing I've had about my team in a long time
