To further make the loss more painful, Georgia State coach Shawn Elliott trolls the Vols by saying the victory was not the greatest in program history, story below. And check out the picture, Elliott's arms make Pruitt look like a weakling with a dad bod:

Georgia State coach burns Tennessee after upset, says it's not even the best win in program history

The Tennessee Volunteers’ home loss Saturday may have been their most embarrassing upset of the decade.

As for the Georgia State Panthers who beat them? It doesn’t even rank as their best win in program history, according to head coach Shawn Elliott.

Georgia State has only recorded 20 wins since it moved up to college football’s top level in 2013, but Elliott told reporters beating the Vols wouldn’t rank higher than second on that list.

What could possibly top getting your first Power Five win at an SEC team thatpaid you nearly a million dollars just to show up? To Elliott, a win in the 2017 AutoNation Cure Bowl does.

“I just want you to understand, to win that first bowl game in school history is something that’s very, very special,” Elliott said. “We hoisted a trophy. We played in the postseason. In my 23 years of coaching, that will probably be the No. 1, it may be top of the list in victories.”

There’s no doubting that Georgia State’s 10-point win two years ago against Western Kentucky was a game-changer for the program. It capped the school’s first winning season and it had dropped its previous bowl game, the inaugural AutoNation Cure Bowl in 2015, to San Jose State.

Still, that doesn’t diminish their massive victory as 26-point road underdogs.

“As far as a football program, this is a close second,” Elliott said. “But I like hoisting that trophy. We don’t get anything for winning this game. Maybe a pat on the back (but in) three weeks people will forget what we’ve done.”

It’s hard to believe that people will forget about this upset, even if Tennessee continues its downward spiral since firing Phillip Fulmer in 2008.

Saban’s Recycling Plan: Don’t just discard the assistants you run through like boxes from Amazon. Neatly fold them, put them by the curb and wait for needy rivals to collect them and promptly destroy their own programs. AND, collect and recycle fired HC’s to fill out obscure staff positions.

Here is a test to see if you have even a shred of compassion: go to volnation and read any post, " Pruitt coaching for job..." and if you read the entire thread without feeling sorry for our rival, then you are totally without compassion.

There was thread on there where the original poster essentially said UT was synonymous with mediocrity. All of the replies were to the effect that the fan base wishes they could achieve mediocrity. One poster said he wished the Vols could be mediocre again like Vanderbilt or Missouri. Mediocrity is now the new goal in Knoxville. They suck and they know it. That's a bad place to be.
