Not turning on them, just still unconvinced they’re any different than Butch’s bunch yet.

I’m serious. Someday somehow as fans we gotta take the long view like Kentucky has with Stoops. We are in a deep hole and we don’t have the talent instate for any old coach to come in here and win quickly like they do at Florida, Georgia and LSU. It takes time. We gotta give it to them.

If you haven’t caught on, people are constant apologists for the current coach and nothing is ever the coach’s fault until after he is fired. Then everything is his fault

At which point not only is everything his fault, but he was in fact the worst coach in the history of our program and we can’t expect whoever comes in to have an easy time with coaching geniuses like Will Muschamp or Derek Mason.

Many Vol fans wanted a coach who would bring in a pro style offense with a fullback. Fulmer wanted that too. Unfortunately you have to have a strong oline to run pro system.

The reason many coaches run spread is to compensate/hide for oline weakness. Our line cannot be hidden. Our offense just very rarely this year has helped our defense at all.

I agree with you. I don’t think we can or should fire them any time soon. Just not convinced this bunch will get it done.

12 is warming up

Welp

I'm not going to blame the coaches. These players have the mental toughness of a dandelion. A fart through the wind makes them buckle and shatter.

Is that not something the head coach shares some of the responsibility for? I do believe that the players are a significant reason but this team is bad and getting worse.

Need it

Stop right there. Mike leach begged for this job.

Leach went 3-9, 6-7, 3-9 in his first 3 years at WSU. Funny how everyone is complaining about Pruitt going 5-7 in his first year. This fan base would have run Leach out of town if started the same way here as he did at WSU.

Spread is not not pro style

Literally the worst outcome possible over the last two weeks. Very well may ruin our recruiting class and put Pruitt closer to the hotseat. No excuse these last 2 weeks from the players AND the coaches!

Agreed. If after UK people were asking what the absolute worst case would be for finishing the season, this is it right here. Does not speak well of anyone in orange.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Let’s go boys

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

TY

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

[SpringBokVol]

I’m encouraged

 

[Ace]

Wow

 

[804VOL]

TY

That also works as "thank you". I'm definitely thanking Ty for that effort.

 

[ob79]

Exactly what was needed out of the gate.

Keep it going on D

 

[TN-POSSUM]

What a turn of events

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Hey Vandy you ain’t shutting us out!!! U MAD??

 

[Ashevolle]

Halle-faqin-lujah

More better. Neeeeed defense.
