I would take that right now.

Win over Florida - check
Win 10 regular season games - check
Start out with 4 wins - check
Go to Atlanta - check
Be relevant nationally - check

Sorry but 10-2 was the goal last year. This year it's national title. Anything short of that is a failure.

This is the best Vols team since 99. No reason to be happy with just being okay when legendary status is possible.

Fans need to hold the team to that standard.

Kirby forcing Hardman to start out as a DB against his wishes lol

Man, that UCLA line is juicy. UCLA still has a ton of talent and TAMU is kinda a mess.

Have you been watching the NFL draft? UCLA lost a ton of guys this year. They'll have to replace nearly everyone on offense outside Rosen and their two best players on defense.

I think they take a step back. A&M wins easy like they did versus Arizona State.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

OM and 8.5? Sign me up

FSU is gonna run em outta the building. Ole Miss doesn't have as much talent as people think. Both 2014 and 2015 classes outside the top 15.

I think they take a step back this year. 8-4 at best.

I thought that's what he wanted. Or do you mean he's forcing him to be a WR?

Hardman wants whatever gives him the most attention.

Go to JUCO this year and ask to redshirt. Then sign with the VOLS in 2017 class and enroll with 4 years left to play on offense. Problem solved.

I wouldn't want him.

FSU looked horrible against Houston. Lost best player to the draft. Give me that spread all day

Saw where Brad Shepard on Bleacher Report predicted an 11-3 season for the Vols.

How would y'all feel about this season:

App State: W
VT: W
Ohio: W
UF: W
UGA: L
A&M: W
Bama: L
USC: W
TTU: W
UK: W
Mizzou: W
Vandy: W

SECCG vs LSU: L
Sugar Bowl vs Baylor: W

Regular season final ranking: #6

I would probably be a little disappointed, because we would likely take a step back in 2017 unless we have a QB ready to step up immediately and it might be a minute until we're capable of winning the SEC/making the playoffs again. But it's hard to find fault in an 11 win season, seeing as how we haven't won more than 10 games in 15 years.

I'd take it in a heartbeat

 

[PassedOutAwake]

I wouldn't want him.

Yeah, I wouldn't either. Its like the Kamara situation. That's not working out and I wouldn't want another situation like that.

Will you call for Butchs firing if we don't get to the playoffs? Tbh I think you're correct in saying this is the most talented team in a long time

He's just very immature and seems that everything is about him. Just look at his recruitment. My best friend is a Georgia fan and he doesn't even like him.

FSU will rout Ole Miss

LOL. You really think a team like FSU cares about the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl against Houston?

Most of the kids on FSU experienced going to the BCS national title and playoffs the last two years. They sleepwalked that game and Houston treated it like the Super Bowl. That was a classic who wants it more game. Like 2014 when Bama lost to Oklahoma or whenever Boise State played a BCS bowl against a big team.

FSU will win the ACC and make the playoffs next year. They have arguably the most talented roster in the country. They return a lot of starting experience. Plus they get Clemson at home.

And FYI Ramsey wasn't close to being their best player last year. Dalvin Cook was. And he will be once again this year. Future 1st round pick.

Depends.

Does he go ultra conservative and have us choke games away once again like last year versus Oklahoma and Florida?

If so, then he gotta go. We won't ever win with someone that can't learn from his mistakes or is too stubborn to change.

I think shoop will help us out in that regard on defense. On offense we will see

Agree. And I think the hiring of Shoop shows Jones thinks those losses weren't really the offenses fault. I believe he thinks the defense should have continued to get stops and a two TD lead should be enough

 

[VFL23]

That's long enough to be an Olympic qualifier, I think.

 

[AV_12]

I wouldn't want him.

Lol

I know many of you don't venture to the football forum, but I just wrote up a short essay on Derek Barnett and wanted some less crazy people to read it as well and see what I was able to find out about him historically.
