State of the athletic program:

[volsarelife1]

Football ranked #3
Basketball ranked preseason #11
Women's basketball preseason #5
Baseball ranked #9
Softball ranked #15
Swimming ranked #13

Incredible to have this many in our program ranked inside the top 15 of their respective fields. Tennessee is getting back to becoming a powerhouse across the board.

I say it's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

We're not back until track and field are back on top where they belong.

I would say Danny White doesn’t get enough credit, but man I think we all know how phenomenal a job he’s done and that our coaches have done too. What a time to be a Vol.

Amazing what having a competent AD can do for a program

How dare you leave off our 2021 Cornhole Championship.

But in all seriousness, isn’t the tennis team pretty good too?

Tis a joke but I do remember the 'good ole days' of track and field. Bring back Willie Gault.

Women's soccer is ranked #20 also. Good chance to get up higher before end of season.

Baseball will be top 3 once the preseason polls start hitting.

Don’t forget curling

He only hired one of the coaches in the aforementioned list. It happens to be the most important coach, is working out great so far, but all those other HCs were hired by a previous AD. For the on-field performance of those teams, honestly, I'd say DW gets too much credit. Basically all sports except football were rolling before he took the job.

DW deserves credit for fan engagement and changing how the athletic department is perceived more than anything else. From the moment he got here, he put off a "I am in charge and know what I am doing" vibe that the previous ADs had not, and carried with him a credibility (via hires he made at Buffalo and UCF) that previous ADs had not.

I think Rugby won a championship too.
