Lol. We have done a 180 in terms of leadership.

I’m very happy we changed directions with our program. But I share your concern here.

Tech hasn’t been ranked since the 2nd week of 2015. Our longest stretch since Lewis. We had become irrelevant beyond what I have experienced in my 30 years of fandom.

Oh yeah I agree. I see the comps to Jones. My thing is Jones has been the most successful coach of their last 4. Maybe the guy is getting a bad rap. Pruit flat sucks but people seem willing to give him pass because of his style. And that’s fine. Just acknowledge that.

I completely agree with you. However, I don’t think people want to acknowledge just how poor our talent was/is in comparison to our competition.

Exactly. That is the point here.

Hmmm. Seems like Pruit is going through a similar experience to what Collins is going through. Having to tear it down to build it back up. He’s in year 2. Should be seeing some fruits by next year I would imagine.

Right but wasn’t he still better than Dooley, Kiffin and Pruitt? I mean at some point Tennesse just has to accept who they are.

Wow! I couldn’t have had a different experience. For example just last week my son plays soccer with a kid whose dad works with Quincy Avery who trains elite qb’s across the southeast. He told me after the Citadel loss to just give Collins time because he will bring in elite recruits. Those...

No doubt. Drives me crazy as well.

The hype thing really ruffles some feathers around here. I get that many people on this board are successful professionals in their given field and are more results oriented by nature. But I hope people will remember the hype is not for you. It’s geared towards 16 & 17 yo kids. Collins methods...

I see how that came across that way. Way too direct on my part. I was actually being sincere in that some fans only watch their teams games and don’t have a good grasp of the overall landscape.

1. If I attacked you I apologize. No reason for that. I went back and looked for the attack but didn’t see it but I could have missed it. 2. I just mean we didn’t have many Rivals 250 players for example. I get tired of seeing just talk about stars without understanding the depth of them. I’m...

I disagree but I understand where you are coming from. Both directions for this year have risks. If you get a way from who you want to be going forward you lose your messaging to future recruits. We already saw Downs after we went with a run heavy approach against Clemson rip what we were...

That’s a fair point. They did have players that fit their system offensively however. I also view that game as a bit of a fluke. But yeah, no reason to lose that. I get it. It’s a shame that coaching had to play a factor in that game though.

1. You just listed a bunch of defensive players and all were bottom of the barrel 4 stars except for the Swillings. Defense is not where our problem is. 2. Using recruiting rankings to judge talent when discussing players that have been in the program 3 plus years is unnecessary. I know what...

Is it an excuse to say we are the least talented team in P5? Maybe you think it is but most people agree with me. Is it an excuse to say the transition from the 3o is the toughest in football? Maybe you think it is but most people agree with me. It’s just hard for me to put the blame on the...

Not trying to be smart so I sincerely ask, do you not give any credence to the belief that transitioning away from the TO is the most difficult transition? It seems like you are acting as if the only thing changing is the coaching staff and not accounting for a complete scheme overhaul. I...

My goodness you couldn’t be more off. I for one didn’t hate CPJ. I along with the rest of the country did however see how bare he left the cupboard. The only people that are surprised that we suck are people on this board And yeah yeah we should have beat Citadel.

For one I’m not satisfied. It’s ridiculous to say I am. The losses are a clear indictment on where we are as a program right now. For me blaming the current coaching staff for the issues is just insane. Does anybody remember the 08 Gardner Webb game where we won 10-7? 10 measly points...
