Thanks Dan,
I should clarify I'm not 100% sold on Pruitt myself but I am convinced firing a coach every 3-4 years is killing UT football.
I think that mentality has ruined one of the best football programs in college football.
When Pruitt was hired  there was almost 100 % agreement that it would take
4-5 years to get our talent level back to SEC caliber. We're in the middle of a screwy third year and the critics are calling for Pruitt to be fired.
We're repeating the same old cycle we've been at for 12 years now.

What the hell are you ranting about?
Biden? Hypocrisy?
You're not making sense.
So far you would have fired  Majors,run JG off campus,fire Pruitt and fire Fulmer.
Get rational and tell us how we pay for it and who your flavor of the week coach is and how we pay for him

I didn’t figure you'd address your hypocrisy.  Ill be here to remind you though.  😎

I still have no idea what your ranting about.Biden has been wrong about everything in his career.
Fulmers decision was based on his experience as the 2nd winnings coach in UT history.
All you've done is bitch,piss and complain.
Give us some solutions instead of name calling and demanding we fire everyone.

How do you know that Biden has been wrong about everything ?

Please, tell us about your vast political experience. 

If you don’t have any experience, then quit bitching, complaining, and name calling.

You've really gone off the deep end.You're letting your temper prevent any reasonable discussion.
Have a nice evening ....while plotting who else to fire.

I'm not sold on him either.

I suspect with stability it will take 5-7 yrs to get talent levels across the board to start to competing at a higher level. 

The constant turnover not only affects the coaches you can hire buy the consistent level of recruits you can bring in as well.

Well if you want to talk history lets go back to Gen Neyland it didn't take him 4 or 5 years or even 3 he turned it around immediately because he knew how to coach and get the best out of his players.

If you want to talk about Majors lack of success when he first came to UT he didn't have the two assistants who had helped him to his fame Jimmy Johnson and Jackie Sherrill. It showed real quick when he came to UT without them who the real winners were.

He also hired the likes of Bill Pace who was former HC and loser at Vanderbilt

For people who think Tennessee is and always has been a football power house winning championships you need to check you history we haven't been since Gen Neyland.

Since 1965 we've won SEVEN SEC championships and haven't won one in over twenty years the last in 1998. One national championship since 1951 that's ONE mind you in 70 years.

Do I think Pruitt is going to be fired? No I don't but that doesn't keep me from pointing not only his moronic statements and illogical decisions but also the asinine decisions of those supposedly in charge of the University of Tennessee.

If you're willing to accept less than mediocrity and can make excuses for it then I feel sorry for you. But me I have never accepted mediocrity or make excuses for failure and never intend to.

Just curious had Dooley been kept around 5 years would we have been better off ?? Same with Butch?? 

The reason we are firing coaches every 3-4 years is because we’re hiring bad coaches every 3-4 years. Not firing a bad coach after 3-4 years is just as if not more harmful than keeping him for 5.

Well said!

Dooley was a sub-.500 HC at Louisiana Tech.

On Thanksgiving in 2004, Tennessee held the all-time series lead against the Gators, 19-15.  Four games is a decent cushion.  
.
Fast-forward to 2020.
.
The all-time series is now 29-20, Florida.  Jesus Christ!  How'd that happen??

Keep running.....
