I understand that perfectly - it's provides the basis for your delusion. Sewanee used to be great. I'm talking about the present and future, and you're stuck living in an over-inflated impression you have of the past.

Stop while you're ahead. You're only proving to everyone how little you know about the SEC. Sewanee was never good in the SEC. The only record they still hold is the most consecutive losses in conference games that stands at about 40+

Fuzz is right about Tennessee we've won 7 SEC titles in the past fifty years, one national championship in almost seventy years and haven't won shit in the past twenty.

So anyone who thinks Tennessee has been a national contender or even a SEC contender don't know diddly squat about UT football. Majors couldn't beat the Bear, Fulmer couldn't beat the Old Ball Coach and we haven't beaten anyone worth mentioning in twenty years.

We've had good records in the past but the championships haven't been there and that's how you determine how good your program is.

You're lying about my position.
and

If you don't like being accused of lying, then don't do it.

You might want to re-evaluate what you consider calling someone a liar. You either have no idea what you're posting or you're in a deep state of denial.

All true, yet people like Roady (or was it Texie?) talk about us getting back to where "we belong" when there are AT LEAST FIVE other programs just in our conference that are more attractive and/or better positioned to be successful for the foreseeable future.

That's no knock on the program, and I'm a homer just like Roady. I'm just not an entitled homer who thinks we're "just a Saban away" from being back where we belong, because you're going to cycle through a lot of coaches with that pipe dream. My suggestion to these delusional fans is to learn how to enjoy 8 - 4 seasons (without the arrogant proclamations of underachievement), humbly appreciate the occasional 10 - 2 seasons, don't freak over the occasional 6 - 4 seasons, and really savor it you're ever lucky enough to go 13 - 0.

I just want to be competitive like in the Doug Dickey days knowing going into the game you have a shot a winning. He knew how to coach players up and make them better.

We're not going to be undefeated every year but we need to beat the top teams in our division occasionally and be competitive for the SEC title.

But it's evident our coaches aren't producing or putting the better players on the field. Pruitt is in his third year and should have his own recruit at QB and many other positions. His should be playing his guys by now other coaches do it.

When you make bad choices as head coach and have to replace every 3-5 years that is a recipe for disaster.
UT had extremely poor leadership from the president, chancellor ,AD and head coach since Fulmer was fired.
This is a prime example of poor leadership. Almost all SEC schools have suffered from similar leadership problems.
Not a reflection of permanent inability to win championships.
I realize you like to create arguments and you know by dissing UT you can easily get the rise you're wanting.
The truth is...you've repeatedly shown you know very little about UT history or the SEC as a whole.
Most here take your comments for what it is.......B.S.

I'm impressed that you know more than Pruitt as to who should be starting but if it's all the same , I'll trust Pruitt's judgement as long as he's being paid to make those decisions.
It's always amazing to me that fans who haven't watched a single practice and probably wouldn't know one player from another if they changed numbers can make player decisions like this with a straight face.
It's an old saying but so very true....the most popular player on a team is the 2nd string QB after a loss.

I'm glad you finally realize that because I would never let players dictate to me on who would be playing any position. I've watched enough of JG for the past four years to know I wouldn't let him dress out much less start at QB.

There's a lot of good practice QB that can't bring it to the game and JG is one of them. You and the HC are in the minority of those who thinks he's a good QB.

Maybe you don't remember Majors doing the same thing with Sterling Hinton starting him instead of Andy Kelly. I still say we would have beaten Alabama that year if Kelly had started instead of coming in to replace Hinton after Bama was up two TDs.

Maybe you don't remember Majors wouldn't start Pat Ryan who was good enough to play in the NFL for 13 years.

Or Daryl Dickey who proved to be the better QB when Tony Robinson got hurt.

Or Fulmer wanting to play the guy he recruited Schaeffer over Eric Ainge who Randy Sanders recruited.

Some coaches have tunnel vision and are blinded not able to see talent when they're looking at it and some fans believe because you give a guy a title and pay him millions of dollars that makes him the smartest guy in the room.

Got news for you Tater Head ain't even the room when it comes to knowing football talent.

If TR had not liked the nose candy he would have played in the NFL, in fact he did during the replacement period.

Daryl was no where near as good as TR.

To be fair, Pruitt should only be held responsible for the past 2 recruiting classes - you're being a little impatient. If Bailey or Salter don't pan out, and he whiffs on Simpson, then unfortunately for him (and maybe the program), he's probably out at Tennessee. But he's got to have a least long enough to see how that pans out before anyone lights the torches.

And in the meantime, enjoy Tennessee football for what it is.

I have to say..you're grossly underpaid or have an extremely high regard for your talent to be a wannabe coach.
I happened to be a the Bama game at Legion Field when UT lost with Hinton as QB. If memory serves me correct we were unbaten at the time.
I doubt any coach in the country would change QB on the road at Legion Field when you're unbeaten.
I was also at the UT Auburn game when all Pat Ryan had to do was hold onto the ball for a couple of minutes to win the game and he fumbled the snap , Auburn recovered and Sullivan hooked up with Beasley for the winning TD in the closing seconds.
And if you think Daryl Dickey was a better QB than Tony Robison you're no judge of talent.
I loved DD but he inherited a team that was the most motivated of any of Major's teams.They refused to lose but if they had Robison UT would never have been tied by Ga Tech 6-6 the following week and would have likely won the NC. Dickey was an above average and smart QB that didn't beat his own team but he wasn't even close to Tony Robison's talent who was probably the most athletic QB in UT history ( including J.D.)
You don't have to school me on UT history. I was there for most of it.

Who was the back up QB to Randy Wallace (the QB who always threw wounded duck passes) who went on to the NFL and staid there I think for 12 years?

Pat Ryan and Jimmy Streater were both back up to Wallace at times.

I was thinking it was Pat
Wallace frustrated me as Larry and Stanley Morgan, always had to wait on his passes. Always felt Pat was a better QB with them two to catch passes, but then Larry was no speed demon but he had hands. If you got the ball to where he could touch he, he caught it.
