Exactly where I'm at, man! I enjoy all of you guys on the board, but I'm sick of putting in so much time to keep up with everything, scream my guts out, knowing we should win the game, then losing it again. I've watched 3 gut-wrenching losses in Neyland the last 3 years, and I'm done with it. I don't think I'm going back for a game, until Butch can prove he can win a big game. His offense needs a lot of work.

I hope the players are better than the fan base. I would think you are better than this OG. I think some of you need to step away and only come back once the VOLS are winning. But, it won't mean as much to you as others cause you quit after a two OT loss. I am mad and upset but would not want to miss the experience of being a Vol fan. So many people would have loved to been to this game and do not get the privilege to do so. Some of this is shameful. Just back away from the keyboard.

Complete joke having Jumper over Kirkland. Hell, even Weatherd would be an upgrade without him even playing the position. At minimum he would have the speed to recover from some mistakes. Jumper looked like a deer in the headlights last night, especially in the 4th.

I melted down after the loss, because it was SO disappointing, but (thankfully) VOLNATION had it's own meltdown and you couldn't get on.

It's best to just get over your disappointment and then come back with a clear head.

We got beat by a ranked team--a team that most everyone picked to beat us. It is not the end of the world as we know it. We could be Arkansas, or Auburn (who almost lost to Jacksonville state and they were suppose to be a contender for National champions) Bowling Green stomped Maryland--we are not a bad team.

I am not happy with losing this game, but I still have hope.

The play where he had an unimpeded path to Mayfield's blind side but just bounced off of him was pitiful. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

^^^^^gets it. Or put in the best position to win. Shepherd in the corner last night like,yo Cam way over there, feed me!

Should've called timeout on that play and hoped they gave a different look or moved cam over. They got Mosley vs Sheperd all alone over there but our HC says "we don't flip our corners."

It's stubborn and it's stupid. It reminds me of us trying to run the read option with Worley last year vs Florida. It's just plain stubbornness.

First drive of the game we have the ball on the 1 foot line. What back do you want in there? Your 240 lb bruiser or your smaller speed back? We went with Kamara and got stuffed and then settled for a field goal.

That's coaching.

Hurd dive over the top scores 9/10 times, no doubt

This was the worst coached game I've seen on offense at Tennessee. You want to run the ball? Fine, keep running Hurd to the edge. They couldn't stop it and just physically couldn't hold up. The 3rd and 4th quarter you don't ride this horse. Why? Sterling Shepard is matched up Moseley(who played better I will say) when Sutton is on the other side of the field. You can't even explain that stupidity. You've got one of the best CBs in America but won't let him go against their best in crunch time.

These are the same mistakes they were making last year. Coaches from other teams are avoiding Sutton like the plague. I don't understand not moving him some.

Another thing is Jumper at MLB. What is the problem here? You have talented young guys that you won't play. Kirkland is available stop rotating them and allow the dude to grow into the position. They rave reviewed Kyle Phillips but won't play him at all. They left Vereen out there to dry.

Also why didn't we rush three linemen and let Weatherd spy to hit Mayfield like we've done in the past with mobile QBs? I don't understand this coaching staff at all.

I just don't understand this staff right now........

And when it's 3rd and 25, why do you have all your receivers run routes within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. That's coaching.

Haha! Man, I've been here a VFL through the WORST times! THE WORST!! This isn't the worst. I'm not giving up on these players or the season. I didn't say that I'm not watching them play anymore and not going to support them. I said it might be time step back and stop investing so much time on this board. As I said, I love you guys! I love the passion from our fan base and we deserved that win last night. I love seeing complete strangers give their hard-working money to help a fellow Vol fan in need...LOVE IT!! There are very few fan bases, like Volnation...very, very few! Butch has to prove he can win a big game before I return to Knoxville for another big game. Last night's loss is completely 200% on the coaches! They lost the game for their team and their fan base...we deserved experiencing a huge win last night and the coaches ripped away from us. Unacceptable, IMHO! Butch had better start considering tweaking his offense and strategy when he gets a big lead on a good team.

This is what I was afraid of the most with DeBord coming here. A yes man to Butch when Butch's balls shrink up cause he has somewhat of a lead. Another OC would have stepped on the throat of OK when we had the momentum. But not those guys. It was just sit back and hope we don't break. Absolute pathetic coaching. I've honestly always hated this offense. This is not a WRU offense. Azzani coaches a scheme, but they rarely get separation. The constant rotation is stupid and playmakers don't get the ball when most needed. I see no difference from last year in play calling. Conservative, boring and highly predictable. This loss falls directly on Butch and his offensive crap scheme. When he was hired, my first thought was oh hell I really hate his offense. It's been showing it's true colors now the past 3 years.

Imagine Hurd, Kamara in a power I. They would dominate. Obviously with a better OL. North across the middle or a go route. Pearson, Wolf, Pig, Malone, Jennings, Smith playmakers everywhere and this scheme does not utilize them. Get them the ball. It's that easy. Very very sad to watch. Felt horrible for the fans at the game. They did their part, the coaches did not. We deserve so much more instead of agonizing losses when we have the lead, momentum, home field advantage and then the coach steps on the breaks. Saw enough of that during the Fulmer years. Butch royally screwed up last night. This loss kills cause we had this one won. We can't beat ranked teams. We've proven nothing yet. We're still irrelevant. We have no respect until we win some big games. More than just one in a season. We need a few.

The Florida game is where Butch's season stands. We have the talent to win it and break the streak. Do that and earn your respect. The conservative approach never works and he's failed two years in a row now. Use the talent and get the wins or that talent won't be coming here too much longer. Big fail on the coaches. They gave that game away. Now let's see how they respond with more important games the rest of the season ahead.

Yall ain't going nowhere. Snap and clear guys. It hurts because it's our passion. We are good again. Losses are gona hurt more. We just need a good Florida curb stomp and win the East. Then your time and effort will be justified. I'm not old enough yet for golf and fishing boat anyway.

To try and make me feel better I can't help but think about OSU's first game last year and them getting completely manhandled by a much inferior opponent at home. Now I'm not saying we are going to win it all but at least our loss was to a much better team.
