I'm no Pruitt loyalist but that needs to be said to the man's face or not at all.

This. Pruitt is a bad coach. It’s also not healthy for this program’s future to have its most visible employee subjected to abuse on a call in show. We will be better off if people realize that both of these are true.

If Pruitt was winning, then most of the ones complaining about him "not being a Vol" wouldn't care if he had BAMA tattooed across his forehead. Having a fan call in to complain about the team is one thing. Phillip from Wartburg just sounded like an idiot.

Our fans are embarrassing. They talk about spending other people's millions like it's their own. They act like they have some investment in the program other than just being a fan. They are as ignorant as they come. Not all but a large amount of them.

They are spending our money. Where do you think it comes from?

Every team has embarrassing fans, but you need to know wth you’re talking about. Fan gear, ticket sales, food, beer, parking etc. are all “donations” to the university from the fans that pay to see a competent product on the field.

As a taxpayer in the State, an alum, and very low-level donor (like many here I assume) I cannot understand people who diminish our contribution. No, there is no building on campus with my name on it, but I assume anyone that makes that point is a sidewalk fan, who never spent a day in a classroom on the Hill. There would be no program to follow without the hundreds of thousands like us, and the millions that came before. We speak up precisely because we have a vested interest.

I'm embarrassed to have a fan like Phillip. He exposes the caliber of a segment of the fanbase that will not allow Tennessee to succeed, empowered by the media to express his low level sentiments and your approval of it.

What have you seen from Jeremy Pruitt that makes you think he’s a good football coach?

You are what your record says you are

I have been going to games, buying tickets, purchasing swag, and overpriced concessions for decades. We have every right to complain. I even spilt my beer last year when we lost to GA State. Does the university feel my pain?

They will next year unless things turn around. Let Neyland be at 60-70% capacity for 3 or 4 games. They'll care.

Ask Derek or Butch.

In Pruitt’s first team meeting he asked them “where are the big guys?” He then called out the fanbase for not selling out the o/w game. At halftime of his first Alabama game he said he would go get players that can complete. This was all before he showed he can’t coach.

Pruitt earned everything he’s getting thrown at him right now

I guess he could have been cordial but to each his own. News flash UT fans old & young have had it with sh1tty football. Pruitt makes enough money to be asked questions like this even if the questions are unpleasant. This is Tennessee football man. The only thing preventing the success of Tennessee football are horrible decisions made by the UTAD.[/Quote

Pointed questions can be asked without showing one's backside.

He just said what we all been thinking. You too. Us older rednecks and Philip know TN has more of a history than the last 12 years where we have been mediocre. We were one of the winningest teams in college football now we are a low tier SEC school. Time for us to get back to being respected.

That's right and these so called fans that are calling for JP to be fired are the same so called fans that demanded Fulmer be fired

And the ones defending him are the ones that defended the last two, until long after they were gone. Amazing how coach loyalty jumps from regime to regime.

Hopefully, considering the leadership in the athletic department at UT, I hope the fans do have a lot of influence with their social media and any other means they have. The leadership at UT is on its way to bankrupting the program.

What's bankrupting our program is turnover of coaches. The last social media explosion resulted in handing the keys to Fulmer and Pruitt. Tom Mattingly and Celina Summers wrote a book about it and celebrated the "Fan Revolution" that brought it about. They celebrated fan power a little prematurely didn't they? Fan Power is mighty fickle.

Philip and rednecks like him are the reason why no self-respecting coach would take this job. Our fan base is embarassing.

Actually PHILLIP sounded more educated than MOST of the posters on here. And, He made a Very Valid Point. The Third Year is supposed to show the Most Improvement. It Hasn't, and Pruitt (and Fulmer) can't blame it on covid. Everyone has to deal with covid.

Not all. I'm calling for Pruitt but thought it was stupid to fire Fulmer in the first place after the run he had and then 2 bad years thrown in. Pruitt hasn't shown any improvement from Butch. If he was the coach we were wanting then we would have been better.
