Uh oh on herman

Isn't this one of the primary roles of sports message boards? To serve as a place to put your hissy fit into words? And then share it with a larger audience.

I was under the impression that it was a place for supporters of the program to congregate with one another...I expected reasonable debates, not full on crying if things do not go exactly as one would want them to go. Perhaps I was the foolish one...but seriously I am all for being upset and voicing it, just for those that are, don't act like coaches and patterson are trying to purposefully hurt the program and give "you" the finger while at it.

History repeating itself with Patterson. A charade to create the impression that big names have been considered only to settle for a fourth tier hire at OC. A great OC hire was needed to elevate the Strong hire and create excitement. Watson will do nothing to excite potential offense recruits and will likely have the opposite effect. Oh boy!!! UT hired the Louisville coaching staff!!! AWESOME FANTASTIC BRILLIANT HIRE!!!! So much for CS being a big time hire. Amateurs are running UT athletics.

why blame Patterson? Charlie Strong is now responsible for filling out his staff, not Patterson. Patterson did his job with the hiring of Strong. The football program is now under the control of CS.

I just cannot take this anymore............I am going to go eat out and come back to the boards.

Louisville was 23-3 in the past two years with Watson as the Offensive Coordinator. People forget too that Louisville was a dumpster fire when Strong and Watson took over. People act like Watson is a horrible hire. He might not be a big name, but he went 23-3 at a program that has recruiting disadvantages and was a complete mess when he took over. He also helped develop Bridgewater. The overreaction is just that an overreaction.
IMO I think people have taken what Watson did to McCoy and have internalized hate, which has distorted a lot of perceptions. I'm sorry I can't say a guy is a bad hire when he went 23-3 with a BCS victory at a tier 3 or 4 type school.

Rational thinking is not welcome with the mob/borg. . .

You will be assimilated. . .

Are you a real UT fan or just a weather vane????? You seem to be very comfortable with the perpetuation of mediocrity at UT rather advocating professional leadership that is making the best choices to return UT to consistent championship performance. All your posting here is blindly in support of whatever Mack or Patterson or CS do regardless of whether their judgments are the optimum choices available and whether they followed a professional process to reach those judgments. You are a poster boy for everything that is wrong with the culture at UT. Just look the other way and go along with whatever Bellmont does no matter how feckless it may be. Just curious, is there ANY choice Patterson or CS would make that you would object to???

Quit calling out people. No one here is accepting mediocrity. No one here knows what is really going on, yet.

Just many here under that there is a lot in motion and to post judgement before we even play a game is ignorant at best.

Guess what, you have no clue how good this staff will or won't be.
