You still have plenty of pre-season glory to look forward to.

Your school has hired 3 unproven clowns(yes I include 2009 Lane Kiffin in this). Tennessee has tried to fast track success by hiring rah rah shiskobah morons instead of a serious football coach. Tennessee football has been a cartoon ever since Fulmer left.

Yall will never seriously compete with Bama, Florida, Georgia, etc on a consistent level until you hire a serious football coach who isnt some rabble rouser trying to out gimmick everyone else.

Craig Bohl is your man. Id love to see UT get better and the answer is someone who has built and sustained programs the hard way, not kissing his players cheeks or doing the harlem shake.

Pretty sure we've beaten you like 33 out of 34 games. And yes historically we are upper echelon but in the past 10 years we've ruined that. Our administration is a dumpster fire.

Sorry Vols, I don't hope LSU doesn't follow y'all into the gutter.

Your real problem right now is your university still hasn't hired a fricking AD. Do you really want Dave Hart hiring your next coach?

Honestly I think I'd do a better job hiring the next coach than anyone in that administration. They aren't to pay shite for a good coach and thus that's why we suck.

Beating UK has nothing to do with your original post. Doesn't change your status.

Fair enough and I do agree that we aren't very good anymore. I do think we were a good program prior to 2005 but those days are gone.

Let me back up as well. Tennessee had a good run up to the early 2000's from the mid 90's. Still shocked that Peyton didn't win a title, and they won after he left.

OP it has nothing to do with something Tennessee did. Tennessee was just a victim to a bunch of circumstances it couldn't control.

Yeah, Tennessee isn't going to do that. Most likely, Tennessee isn't going to do anything.

The truth shall set you free brother! It's still mind blowing to me that with all the preseason hype that was around Tennessee this year and with all the failure, how in the hell was Davis not canned! If I was a Vols fan this is what would upset me to no end!

What in the hell could Davis possibly sell to the fan base for next year? Good luck!

UT could be forced to play cheerleaders in pre-season and their fans would still talk about beating Bama and winning a NC............and hiring Gruden.
