re: Vols fans - how hopeful are you about the future?

Obviously, everyone knew you would be in a rebuild year but you maybe didn't expect it to be this bad. You guys still optimistic?

I would expect any SEC fan base would be hopeful. Tennessee (and I do not like them in any way) has everything they need to be successful facility wise and with support. It will take the right coach to pull it all together. I am not sure Pruitt is that guy simply because of his reputation for not be easy to get along with. You are as good as the people who you hire. If you treat them or the players bad...it will go south in a hurry. We shall see....
