5 years down the road

[superdave1984]

I listened to a segment about a certain NFL team's fanbase and their outlook for the team within the window of the next 5 years and it got me thinking about the Vols. What is your honest belief about the level of success over the next 5 years?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I think we win the SEC and maybe a playoff game and that’s it.

 

[Frozevol]

It may be harder to be SEC champs than win the natty.

I think we should eat our slice of humble pie for now. It was a long fall down into the abyss of irrelevancy. The climb up will not be at hyperspeed. In the ebb and flow of changes in the sport, rise and fall of roster quality for opponents as well as our own, the whims of that finicky wench called Luck. Key injuries for ourselves and opponents, all this stuff works together to dictate fates. We will have times of disappointments, great disappointments, times of encouraging achievements, times of great success, and all that jive. The current excitement is justified, but so is common sense. Seasons, come and go, they transverse through cycles. Eat that slice of humble pie, and remember the realities of: Ecclesiastes 3:1 - Ecclesiastes 3:8.

You have to show me that your support is willing to spend the NIL money its going to take to withstand the revolving door of the portal, year in and year out.

I suppose the nice thing is that in a given year, if they'll spend the money, North Carolina can win it all. Then Oklahoma can hire all the same UNC players away from them, and Oklahoma can win it the next. Then maybe Notre Dame hires that same group of players in year three, and they can win it all.

The way recruiting is going and the attitude of our University, our coaching staff, our -layers and our fans is the base upon which our Next National Championship will be accomplished.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

I expect us to win 2 national titles in the next 5 years.

 

[Tin Man]

It’s the off season. Undefeated until they ain’t. If the Vols go on a 75-game winning streak and collect a passel of titles, I’ll be a little surprised but happy.

 

[stolitonic]

We'll get into the playoffs a time or two. Probably even win a game or two

Doubt we will win it all in the next five years though.

 

[EtowahVol]

Win a SEC or 2.

 

[livefaith]

NC champs

Ehhh, we can beat all those ACC teams easily.

 

[livefaith]

I expect us to win 2 national titles in the next 5 years.

I can settle for this.

 

[Special Ed]

Fallopians 7:24 says the Lady Vols will win a national championship within that span of time.

 

[Rocky Top T]

We will average 8-9 wins a year. Might make the playoffs a couple of times. Will not win the SEC

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Ehhh, we can beat all those ACC teams easily.

Please submit your comments to the Department of Redundancy Department.

I see a Playoff Championship Game appearance within 5 years. I think we get that far. We could have done that in 2022.
Do we win?
Who knows.

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

There's going to be a little one. She says "It's time to go".

 

[njvols]

I'd say at least playing in SEC CG at least once and probably a couple of appearances in playoffs. This year is key b/c recruits want to see if we are getting back to Hooker senior year vibe or was last year a normalish year. If Nico and team delivers greater than expectation, we can leapfrog a bunch of teams to be back in the top 5-7 range for a good stretch.

Tennessee fans will have another chance to party on Market Square as the football squad brings home another NATTY.

 

[StarRaider]

what is the maximum allowable age to vote? do i need ID?

 

[207 others]

Wild expectations

 

[volfanhill]

I'll take a playoff appearance every 5 years. Once your in you've got a shot.

 

[marvin616]

We can only vaguely see how the upcoming season will go. I'm prepared for 7-5 with Nico showing flashes like Hooker in 20. That should be the absolute floor. 4 years from that? Who knows..

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

I have no doubt we will win a natty in the next 5 years. Easy money
