Mel Tucker doesn't coach in the SEC.

Where you coach has absolutely zero to do with how you go about rebuilding a team.
You have the same tools anywhere you coach!
High school recruits and portal transfer’s .

Any coach that doesn’t use every available avenue is an idiot.

You are delusional if you believe winning in the SEC and winning in the Big 10 is comparable.

You apparently have no perspective on what our reality was and what this coaching staff did relative to that reality. Obviously the goal is to beat the Alabamas, Georgias, and Floridas of the world but that's not where we are and this isn't 2000. We'll be back there but it will take some steps to get there, and Heup jumped the first hurdles cleanly and successfully.

We beat who we were supposed to beat in our HC's first season by a sh*t ton of points. We lost 2 toss ups by one score each. We had one bad loss. All in our coaches first year.

...and you can argue that bad loss wasn't a bad loss at the time (if you're speaking of Florida who was top 10 and had just barely lost to Alabama the week before)

I disagree. A team like UT can rebuild quickly for depth and talent. It depends who we get. Hooker is the perfect example. What would we have done this year without him?

Lost to Kentucky and still won the others. 6-6 and bowl eligible.

W/Milton we were within a touchdown of #17 Pitt & beat Bowling Green 38-6. That was also in the first two games when the players were still learning the scheme and the coaches were learning the players. Which win beside Kentucky do you doubt we'd have won w/Milton at QB?
TN Tech (56-0)?
Missouri (62-24)?
South Carolina (45-20)?
South Alabama (60-14)?
Vanderbilt (45-21)?

Hooker was clearly the best QB we had this year, but Milton is a 4th year QB that has played in 21 games, starting in many of them. He has a lifetime completion rate of 55.4% and a passing efficiency rating of 122.5. To think we were a 25 point difference vs. South Carolina or 38 points vs. Missouri, who we rushed for nearly 500 yards against, strikes me as a bit silly. Are you quite sure you know what you're talking about?

Yes I believe we are a 4 or 5 win team with Milton if we were lucky.
The main point of my original post is the transfer portal can payoff immediately for some teams one year to the next. The person I was responding to indicated it was doubtful a team could do that.

Wow, 4 or 5 if we’re lucky! So could’ve been even more huh?

So again, which of those games do you think we’d have lost w/Milton? Let’s say we were lucky and it wasn’t worse and I’ll give you Kentucky. What are the other two?
TN Tech (56-0)
Missouri (62-24)
South Carolina (45-20)
South Alabama (60-14)
Vanderbilt (45-21)

Because you totally believe what you said rand not doubling down on something stupid.

Ummmm…. The only reason we didn’t beat Pitt by 21 is because of Milton. He missed at least three touchdowns in the first half before injury from overthrowing. If Hooker had started that game, we would have won. BG sucks and we should have dropped sixty on them. Milton is who he is and I doubt he ever truly contributes here barring some injuries.

Using the Milton example from the first two games as reference , we may have lost to Mizzou and S.C. The first and foremost point in my original post was that teams can rebuild the the transfer portal to fill the gaps needed to be competitive. If you want to debate that point I’ll continue the discussion. I will not continue to debate a hypothetical situation of what our record would be with Milton at Qb for the whole year since neither one of us can prove our opinions.
