I'm not blaming it on coaching or how young we are, I'm just saying IMO this is the worst Tennessee football team I have ever seen! If I'm wrong please tell me? Is this the worst Tennessee team?

Yes I think it is. With all the injuries this is just terrible

Not even close. I've seen worse in my lifetime - the 1988-89 team that lost its first six was horrendous.

I was thinking the same thing!
I'm not down on Dooley, but it does hurt to watch this team.
What, three or four times we have heard blown coverage or bad angle on our secondary tonight?
1988 was bad, but at least you could count on Kentucky and Vandy being worse. Not this year.

You can still count on KY being worse

These kids would have loved, the '70s, eh ODA?
Boys, this team has POTENTIAL. Our bad teams in the mid '70s, '88 and so forth, had seniors all over the field and still sucked. We are playing freshmen and sophs. Be patient, not negative.

I'm not trying to be negative. It's really heartbreaking for me to sit here and watch my team play like this. I cheer only for the Vols and love my Vols! I'm just kinda looking for hope that better days are coming. Y'all telling me we have been worse and came back to be great gives me hope!

I'm hurting right alongside you.
Better days are ahead. --- unless we let the Legions of the Lost scream and moan and force yet another coaching change. This guy can get it done if we give him time.

Oh I'm with you there! I'm a big Dooley fan! Love what he is bringing to Tennessee!

Totally agree Rocktop.
The first couple of years with Majors were horrible. It all goes in cycles. I see a lot of potential on the field. Just hope the young ones don't lose faith. They really aren't that far away in spite of what the scoreboard reads. I see this team being very competitive next year. With everybody in the SEC getting better, it will be a challange. Building debth will help, but we "need" a gamebreaker or two.
Hope Atlanta is treating you well. I go through there all the time.

He needs a raise. We need to lock him down before other schools realize what we've got. The record is not indicative of coaching. It just shows what a mess he inherited and the injuries that just won't stop. We almost lost Wilcox last offseason and I would not be surprised if ole miss or PSU came calling for Dooley. Can't wait til we beat Vandy and play in the music city bowl again.

It's a great town.. I've been here since '84 and it has treated me well.

I'll have to disagree with those saying it isn't even close to being the worst team ever. It's close. Real close.

Why do you say that? Explain further.
