Tennessee mad that Butch Jones been telling all the recruits to decommit and look around for past weeks

I kept trying to tell these people that Georgia is gonna fukk this up.
You really can't post this after the game Jalen had yesterday. He missed 2 passes and the offense was only stopped by the play calling.
Jalen has looked his best as a passing QB in the past 2 games and remember last year LSU is when our passing offense went into the toilet.
I have no confidence that Tenn will make the right coaching choice. They settled for Dooley and Butch Jones because no coach on their wish list wanted the job.
I don't think coaches with options view Tenn as desirable spot.

I don't know what Tennessee fans expect, but you have to recruit against Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Clemson, Alabama, South Carolina, etc in your general vicinity. Playing some of those yearly. Tennessee has some good recruits in state, but not enough to field the team that Tennessee fans want to have. They're not getting back to what they were accustomed to before the 2000s. They better hope they can get a coach that will have you in the hunt for the playoffs at least once every 5 years.

I think we’re the better team, but not 30 points better. They had so many mistakes and dumb penalties at pivotal moments. I doubt that’ll happen in a neutral site. That crowd was nuts last night.

They used to thrive because they could pull players from Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.
That isn’t happening any more and Tennessee isn’t a very talent rich state. I doubt they’ll ever be what they were in the nineties.
Don't think recruiting is the problem for them, its that their coaching has sucked, Like @Supreme Leader Reinscarf them nikkas the Texas of the SEC.

Just checked they have had top 20 classes and a top 5 class in 2015, 2018 looking good too.

Last year the #1 OT, ILB, S, and the #2 WR came from the state of Tennessee. UT only got one of those guys

And that's part of what I said. You have to recruit against teams whether they come in your state or you go in theirs. It won't stop with the next coach.

Um yea that's exactly the point when we try to pass it doesn't work. Why do u think we stopped trying to pass and had to run to win in the 4th quarter?
And Jalen's completion % is under 50 for the past 2 games so no not even close to the best he has looked passing the ball. Not sure what games u are even watching. 10 completed passes 50% completion % isn't a good game. Ridley had one of his best games and got a ton of yards running after the catch. He is wide open every play

They shouldn't expect to dominate like they were in the 80s and 90s....It won't happen. Too many other teams out there putting in work and competing these days. But they should have gotten rid of Butch Jones. He had 5 years to do something, anything.....
