I was never really on or off honestly more less just waiting to get on.😭😂 for our sake I hope it works out and Danny White looks like a hero in all of this..I’m tired of losing but I’m always annoyed at the fact we are the only university taking chances on “unknowns/unproven” coaches at a high level major university.when others do what they need to do in order to win immediately.I’ll always want the best for tennessee no matter who’s coach but the administration sometimes makes it hard.

They actually keep that stuff locked up pretty good.

When I was just a peon back in the day, the only way i saw the board was when my boss needed me to deliver something to the coaches in their war room - and i had to do a quick peek - never got to see it in detail.

That stuff was under tight watch.

The path to 8 is there. We just need to upset Florida coming off their physical beatdown from Bama. If we go 8-4 JH gets coach of the year imo.

We don’t need to beat florida to get to 8 honestly

I think we win 7-8 next year and it’s going to be harder in the years to come to maintain that

I know what they were ranked in 2017, and I know how they got there and how hollow it was.

72 points vs. Missouri State, 34 points vs. Kentucky in a loss, 28 points vs. Georgia in a loss, 68 points vs. Idaho, 52 points vs. UCONN, 45 points vs. Florida (good showing here, but that team had quit on McElwain at this point.), 50 points vs. Tennessee (same thing for Butch Jones), 45 vs. Vanderbilt, 48 vs. Arkansas, 16 vs. Texas in the bowl.

Again, we are absolutely going to score points. Debating that would be silly. I just don't think this offense is built to score on teams that have similar talent or a talent advantage. We will feast on bad teams, no-show against good teams. And on the talent side, we've already lost basically an entire signing class to the portal, have a notoriously average recruiter as HC (and staff as it is currently constructed), and we will very likely have scholarship reductions for the next two to three years.

The more I read, I just don't know why we went in this direction. We needed someone who can do more with less because we were always going to have a lean couple of years.

To further my point compare his talent to Tennessee...this is from 247...
Missouri. Tennessee
lock .9553. Bailey .9555
Witter rb .8462. Small .8688
Rountree rb .8435. Evans .8919
Moore Wr .8653. Jones .8727
Johnson WR .8615. Hyatt .9216
Hall WR .8498. Keyton .9503
Okwuegbunam .TE 8609 Wideman .9489
Howell LT .8808 Fant .8494
Pendleton LG .8335. Pope .8584
Castillo C .8446. Spraggins .8747
Simms RG .8457. CA Mays .9869
Adams RT .8493. CO Mays .9002
Carvin. .8904
Wright .9844

The talent difference between the two offenses is huge!

Prilosec is better than Tums and the like because it reduces the production of digestive juices instead of neutralizing all of it, but I still think it is better to let nature take it's course.

I got tired of waiting for nature to sign up.

Dubs
3 cupcakes
Vandy
USC

50/50
KY
Ole Miss
Pitt
MZ

Loss
UGA
Bama
UF

IMO - But I truly believe we can split the 50/50 for 7-5. Maybe pull one upset (like UF like you said but doubt it).

I for one still believe we have more talent than all the 50/50 games. If we beat all of them somehow and finished 9-3, I would go ballistic.

We aren't. Our history of bad hires has just put us behind. But Mark Richt and Kirby Smart were the last 2 coaches at UGA who had no prior HC experience. UF tried with Zook, Muschamp, and McElwain before they could get Mullen. Lincoln Riley, Ryan Day, and Dabo Swinney all didn't have prior HC experience, but two were stepping into great situations. Auburn just hired Boise State's coach, and LSU has a coach who was 10-25 at OM. We aren't the only ones...at all...but we have to hire the correct one.

SC and Arkansas not considered “major universities “?
