"I've talked to 10 head coaches this morning."

Lyle's answer as to keeping "locker room focus" at home. He also said Tennessee played with "bad eyes" on Saturday night.

 

I have to assume that those supporting him are on the schedule for next year.

 

These are the things that make me hope for losses. Our players are getting screwed so dang hard.

 

I mean, can anyone imagine this doofus getting up at the crack of daylight and calling coaches to ask about gaining "focus"? I laugh at that.

 

It's possible some will think you're just making a joke. Let me assure them that it is virtually certain that the vast majority of these "coach friends" are future opponents.

 

Fun hypothetical: What 10 coaches could he conceivably have called. Probably no Power 5 guys. Some MAC coaches maybe. Or do all the dumb coaches have a secret coalition dedicated to figuring out what the good coaches know that they don't?

 

exactly.

"I'm struggling with getting our guys to focus for these home games, can you help?"

"absolutely. Tell the media that your fans suck, win 8 games against garbage, lose all meaningful games, sign extension, stay at UT for a couple decades (or until I'm gone). Any more questions?"

 

Why does this asshat continue to stand in front of a microphone?

And why do we continue to employ this clown?

 

Too soon.

 

Just pretend it is a Gruden/Geno Smith draft day relationship.

 

You'd think at some point he'd figure out, its probably best not to say the first thing that pops in your head.

 

Or any of the things that pop into your head.

 

How many distractions are in the locker room? Is there a carnival in there or something?

 

Well it's hard to keep a group of kindergarteners focused.
