We don't yet have a full season's objective evidence that players recruited and coached by this staff can put together a winning season and go to and win a bowl. ALL we have is the sack full of very positive but subjective indicators and observations that they should do at least that. Highly ranked recruiting busts, injuries to key players, opponents key players playing lights out, ... so, so many things, at least a two deep depth chart with mostly experienced upperclassmen, on and on. Most of which the VOLS don't have.

To predict an 8 win season and an upper tier bowl, and demand that as a minimum considering this IS the SEC is, yep, delusional. Glad my daughter ain't brought someone home like you ......... yet.. ;-)

We all need to keep reality in front of our hopes and aspirations.

I pretty much do, however, ALWAYS take whoppin' big gulps of the Orange aide as game days approach. With an injury free roster, and OUR Vols playing lights out, we CAN beat anybody. That's why we play the games. Appy State anyone?

We haven't been to a bowl game in 3 years, last year was the first time we won an sec game outside of the state of Tennessee since 2009. We haven't won a bowl game since the 2008 outback bowl so the real question is who wouldn't be thrilled with 6 wins and a bowl game? This program is light years ahead of where Dooley had it going but still way behind when compared to the top 6 in the conference. So tell me where you get these "we are Tennessee expectations"? Because Tennessee hasn't been relevant on the national scene since 2003.

UT has not been to a bowl game since 2010 and hasn't won a bowl game since 2007. I would say that just getting back to a bowl game and potentially winning one would be a good reason to be satisfied.

You have to crawl before you can walk and this program has been in a wheelchair since 2008.

However, the 2008-2013 Vol teams will not be on the field this year. :question:

saying they'd be happy with a 6-6 season or something similar. How could anyone be satisfied with losing every single game of consequence? How long have yall been fans? We are still ut! Just because we had a short coaching stint by a pathological liar, followed by a pathological azz hole doesn't undo all the history we had prior to their tenures. Many of our opponets this year have major question marks. We COULD win against uga, uf, usc, mizzou, ou. We SHOULD win all the others. The only team that is far superior to us at this point is bama. And even they aren't as dominate as in years past (who was picking AU to beat them last year at this time). I would be happy with no less than 8 wins. Anything less will be a dissapointment! A year from now we should be happy with no less than challenging for the sec east.

Big difference between "being happy" with 6-6 and having enough judgment to look at the circumstances of the program and being willing to accept that 6-6 or 7-5 is the likely outcome.

I cut my teeth on the mid 90's Tennessee teams. CPF is the first coach of the vols that I remember watching games and feeling emotional about what happened. Florida caused me years of teenage anger. Knowing that they now own us on the all time win lose record makes me sick. Any year we beat them is a better year no matter what.
The guys watching Vols play before my time feel this way about Bama, no love won for them even since moving to the state of Alabama. We have a generation about to feel this way toward Vandy. The ship has to turn around.

If cbj is a great coach we will know it in yr 2. All great coaches may huge strides in yr 2. 8 or 9 wins

If he is avg I believe we will see 5 wins and then he is johnny majors 2.0. Will need yrs of great recruiting to overcome him being avg.

I say if he gets 7 wins that's nice progress and really what i hope hart has set for the target. Any less I'm afraid 8 or 9 wins is all we will see from this staff ever.

Man dude didn't look very good last year! I got to where I would notice his number when the ball was in the air and hold my breath. Most of those ended up being competitions btw
