Just read Greg Byrne talking about how changing coaches every two or three years is "absolutely ludicrous" and I could not agree more. You look at what we went through in the late 80s and early 90s before Coach Stallings came in and steadied the ship. We were cycling through coaches and the program lost its identity. That 1992 team does not happen if we keep pulling the plug every time things get bumpy.
Kalen DeBoer is our guy. He went 10-3 in year one with a roster that was not his and a target on our backs the size of Bryant-Denny. Give the man time to build something. I remember when people were screaming for Gene Stallings' head after the 1990 season and then we went 11-1 and won it all two years later. Patience is a lost art in this sport.
The transfer portal and NIL have everybody trigger-happy. A coach loses three games and the fans want him gone and the players want to leve. That is not how you build a program. That is how you become Tennessee in the 2010s.
