Thank you for the 50th thread on this exact same issue.

Wheh, just in case we forgot one!

If you are not prepared to endure the agony of supporting a losing program for at least the next five years you should just give up on UT right now. The problems that we have now are years in the making and it will take years to fix them. Do you really think the coaches can "lay down the law" with the players in Knoxville now? Many of these kids probably came here because they do not want the strict discipline and they heard that CPF is a "player's coach" who lets the small infractions ride. Try to tighten the reigns and see how fast half our roster transfers. This team has a disease and everyone is infected. We will have to completely cycle through most of the guys who are now on the roster before things get significantly better. In the meantime, the coaches are going to have to try and keep the current players from contaminating the recruits. How will they do that? I am not sure that they can. CPF is not a complete idiot. He knows where this ship is headed. Look for him to milk the $2 million a year for another year or two and then bail out (if he doesn't get sacked before then).

Depends entirely upon the forthcoming coaching decisions, how those are made, and how the team is managed as a result of those changes.

We&#39;ll be better for sure, like Surfside said, I don&#39;t see how we could be much worse. But I think a ten win season is a bit of a stretch. 8-4 if we&#39;re lucky.

Anyone who understands sports knows that these things run in cycles. Nobody is going to be on top forever, and the opposite is true. Tennessee might turn it around quickly, but if not then I wouldn&#39;t be suprised if it took a few years. I do think there is too much invested in this program to see it go to hell.

I have been a Vol fan forever. I have nothing but respect for CPF and what he has accomplished. I also feel that David Cutcliffe is an excellent coach. However, I feel that a major change in philosophy may be needed. Look at how the Al Borges offense at Auburn turned them around. As had been stated before none of us know what the future holds. I feel that Crompton could be someone we could build a team around. I just do not want to go through a period like Penn State has.
