Schiano is laughing his ass off somewhere

 

[cgrish]

ur

Even if Pruitt is fired what known/good coach is going to want to walk into this atmosphere?

urban myer, for the right money, Hugh Freeze for the right money

 

[GulfCoasterVol]

LET’S GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or "go" :}

 

[creekdipper]

I wonder if Tennessee School for the Blind wants to field a team. Schedule them, it might be a competitive match up. Let the cheerleaders play BYU, they might be in better shape.

I guarantee the cheerleaders have better shapes.

For what ever reason I just can’t log off and go to bed. Tonight just feels different. Almost like the death of a friend. I’m numb and it feels like something important to me is just gone now...

It’s going to get worse if we don’t support the coach. Everyone gets 3 years

I just want to say my peace before Freak rightfully bans me. I'm a 41 yo Male that's a diehard UT fan. My best memories were mid to late nineties. I still weigh what I did In high school. I did play football btw. State runner ups. 96. I say that to say this. **** these fatass undisciplined coaches

 

[14VolFan88]

First, I'd like to say to all the JP ball washers, I told you so. Just like with Lyle I caught hell for criticizing this hire and look at where we are now. And I said then. We'll look back and see if I'm right. Well, I'm right. The guy is a glorified damn high school assistant. What in the hell has he ever built on his own. Dare I mention Mike Leach dominated his home opener. Remember when we had Ed Orgeron as the OL coach under Kiffin? He led LSU to a dominate 55-3 win over a Georgia Southern team that's light-years ahead of Georgia State. We cant get one damn decision right.

Some will think this is an over reaction, but since I've had time to process this I don't think it is.

This is my football 9-11. By far the darkest day in program history. I thought my loyalty to Tennessee Football was unwavering and unbreakable, boy I've never felt as sick as I do tonight. We've been bad but the thought of going to another team never crossed my mind. I thought it over tonight really hard. I think my blood just runs too damn orange.

But man, this is pain and heartache I haven't felt since I was 16.

It's awful.

Go Vols.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Can we hire that pool guy back to run our offense?

 

[1985Vols]

Good thing it burned before the game started. If it was after his insurance would likely deny the claim

Too bad we can't get insurance to refund our tickets when our football coaches and teams suck

 

[Capt Straight]

Thank God hunting season is here, and that my grandson goes to Wyoming.

Georgia State just put the finishing brush strokes, on the masterpiece, "Death of a Football Program".

 

[kbear01]

This says it all. Three turnovers, that led to 14 points. We allowed 77 plays, to our 71. A wash. But, we gave up 213 yards, on the ground, to GA STATE. We had 404 yds, on 71 plays. Not bad. That's over 5 yds per play. But, 93 yds of that were on the ground? So we got dominated, completely, in the trenches. Play calling was a bit vanilla, but, not the biggest problem. CJP's defense was awful. Yes, we missed Thompson and Bituli. But, seriously? It's Ga State!!!

[Rocky Top Raby]

There is zero fire anywhere in this team from start to finish. Wait, I did see #33 flex on a guy he tackled while we we down by two scores so.

 

[dillyo51]

Actually, it might be exactly what is needed for someone in the administration to finally say, “enough,” and go out and hire a real, proven head coach.

Where have I heard this before?

 

[dillyo51]

We are driving down from Indianapolis next week as well.....

I'd rethink that idea, if I were you.

 

[knoxchief]

No doubt about it. This game UT sucked worse than a 2 dollar prostitute!

 

[knoxchief]

Yeah we lost. But I saved 15 percent on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

 

[Holly Springs 3]

Where's the playcalling by Chaney that he did at Georgia. Let's Go Vols!!

No offense but he had a little more talent here. I could call the games he did for us with our backs and line. Y’all thought it was Chaney, well it wasn’t.

 

[SweetDaddy]

I cant say that I lose sleep and smack my old lady over losses like some here do but I get just as frustrated as anyone.

Yesterday I just kinda found myself rolling me eyes and saying "whatever".

Im too old to let ballgames get to me.

I will admit though that this board is much more entertaining after a loss.

I said all along I thought 6 wins would be one hell of a season but I was counting Georgia State as one of the 6 wins.

Now my friends it looks like Volnation will be must read material for the next 4 months.

BTW...

Yes we are a basketball school.

 

[Holly Springs 3]

We not opening up the playbook guys calm down. We playing simple on purpose. Don’t wanna show our hand to soon.

Sorry to say but Chaney isn’t holding back, this is what we had the entire time he was here. The same plays over and over no matter if they were working or not. He just got away with here because of the talent we had on the offensive side of the ball. Can’t say we didn’t warn ya.

 

[Holly Springs 3]

Last year it seemed like we were limited on offense.

This year it feels like we are limiting ourselves almost purposely.

Idk

Chaney. The gift that keeps on giving. We tried to tell ya about Chaney. And he’ll y’all should have known, y’all had already run him off once. But have a fun season.

 

[Rooster1]

We will be 3-0 going into Florida. We are good enough to sweep GSU, BYU, and UTC

Ooops.

 

[JMSqb11]

Ooops.

Show me your winning bet slip where you had us losing to GSU?

I'll wait.
