It took Dabo 7 full seasons to really breakthrough. And he didn’t have an AP top 10 finish until his 5th full season. Years 7-12 he had the second best program behind Alabama but went toe to toe with them and won 2 out of 4 championship appearances in that time period. Not saying we will win a championship in the next few years but things are trending towards that direction if we allow Heupel to run his operation.

Dabo Recruited as good as Alabama did during alot of that stretch. Our recruiting hasnt really picked up steam. Top 10 nationally is ok, but we are still middle of the road in the SEC.

I agree Heupel has shown to be a builder of teams at Tenn. The question is (and I’m willing to wait and see)whether he can take the next step and turn that good team into a very, very good team. Going from crappy to good is the easier part. Teams make big steps at first. But continued elevating is now done in smaller steps. Upgrading coaches and particular positions are part of that growth. Based on 4 years, I definitely do not think we have the best assistant coaches for where the program now stands and there are a few position groups that need upgrades. The question is whether CJH is willing to upgrade coaches and have the skill to balance the roster to upgrade positions without spending all his money to just stay the status quo.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but I think Florida and Auburn might disagree with the bolded part . Heupel had us one win away from the 4 team CFP in his second year. And despite what some 2025 Way too early top 25 rankings are saying, it feels pretty far away for those schools.
