"People dish out temporary negativity that have the possibility to do long term damage in the grand scheme of our program. Recruiting, coaches etc- We lost to OU who is undefeated, Florida who defeated Ole Miss who beat Bama. I don't think we're that far off. One would say look at what Florida is doing with their new coach, stop comparing programs; comparison is the thief of joy and makes you forget that the past two years Butch Jones and his staff has improved our program on/off the field tremendously and Florida didn't fire Coach Fulmer, hire Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley. You have every right to feel how you feel their your feelings but be cognizant of how the national media portrays our supporters and paint the picture of turning on their coaches & players which can come back to bite us in recruiting. Tennessee is known for being a family and that plays a huge part in the reason recruits want to come to a program and of course wins as well but when another SEC Coach can tell a recruit when it get's a little rocky on rockyTop they turn on you or if our supporters play a part in a scenario where we're looking for another coach who in their right mind would want the job. At a certain point the negativity becomes water under the bridge and counter productive, we lost 3 games and you're basing judgement and trying to say it defines who Butch, his Staff and our players are. That's just like someone judging you off of three bad choices you made. BY THE WAY I'M NOT ON PAY ROLL BY BUTCH OR UT FOOTBALL IN NO FASHION. I just ride for what I believe in.‪#‎ATrueVFL

He is just like half of our fan base. Look the other way and make excuses. I don't think the recruits really care about what the fans are saying, they can see a dumpster fire by themselves. He makes it seem like we shouldn't have won those games. The Florida coach has already done more in his first 5 games than Jones has in 2+ years. So a coach should never get criticized because it might hurt recruiting? He should maybe wins some games if he wants to enhance recruiting. Anything less than making SEC championships the standard is unacceptable. Irregardless of all of this, I still expect Jones to beat someone this season he is not supposed to beat. This team is not as under-talented as some make it seem. He will get a break sooner or later. I am just not sold on him ever being a top 5 SEC coach. I truly hope he proves me wrong, because I really don't want to go through another search for a coach. Will Peyton still be playing next year? Lol!

the talent level when BJ was hired was the poorest I've ever seen it and I've been a fan a long time...this is a fact! Butch is playing against coaches and programs, exception being Fla, who have not been through multiple coaches and a severe reduction in talent level like we have and even Fla's situation was better than what Butch inherited. Just look at the breakdown someone posted earlier regarding the OL depth.... . We haven't had a good QB in years, we're just beginning to get these corrected and we need to be patient for at least 2 more years. Grant it I have been very disappointed with play calling and some game decisions but to get where we want to be we can't start shooting our own and throwing the coaches, players and program under the bus because the media, who only cares about sensational news, takes all of this and paints UT in a very negative light and we will facilitate our own demise..

Inky is a warrior and a very respected former Vol.  I give a lot of creedance to what he says, and would even if I didn't agree with it.  But that's just me.
