re: What's the mood like in Tennessee?

The mood is depressing as hell, i'd say even worse than the end of the Dooley era. We had high hopes going into this year and all indications are that the emperor has no clothes.

If we had fought hard and our losses were to better teams, I would be ok and want to give Jones more time. He is clearly in way over his head and is just selling us snake oil.

Really you are only seeing extreme homers defending the guy now. Anyone with football IQ knows he is a dead man walking - his clock management and in game coaching is below many high school coaches. We will finish the year 6-6 or 7-5, have another off season victory, then go 8-4 and be stuck in mediocrity.

The only way TN gets back on top is if we go out and hire a proven winner. Until we do that, we will continue dumping coaches every 3-4 years.

Thank god I bought ski passes this year instead of tickets to see the Vols play.
