Grown ass man buddy who obviously knows way more Ball than you when you are talking crazy like Florida is in a better spot than Tennessee

TN had a better '24 season, FL's roster is in better shape. Almost anyone that "knows" college football would tell you they are looking better than the Vols for next season. That hurts your feelings because you can't view things objectively which is childlike.

A lot of young and dumb in this fanbase. Refuse to believe anyone sensible that lived through the Dooley years is in panic mode.

Heard that my man, I was born in the early 90s. Wasn't old enough to remember seeing the 98 season or the good 90s years so all I have is 30 years of us suckin and getting embarrassed week in and week out. People forget in 2020 we only won 3 games. It is just now 2024, look how far we have come.

It's not all sunshine either. Despite the 10 wins and playoff spot, there are cracks in the foundation that can't be ignored. These issues have all been discussed the last two seasons. Next season will be very telling for the Heupel era. The state of a football program can be a very fragile thing. Just as an example, which program is trending better? Florida or Tennessee?

Tennessee. And it's not even close.

I agree Florida does have a better roster for next year right now. I doubt we beat them next year, if Napier hadn't tried QB sneak on first down on the goal line they beat us this year. I love the Vols but I try to keep it real like you

I'll come back to this comment when Billy Napier is fired either next year or the next. You act like Tennessee doesn't have great players there, coming in, and still have a chance to add some in the portal. We lose one game and you are claiming the Gators are just miles ahead of us. I bet you wouldn't have posted that last week before the game, or mid season at any point. Which actually proves you can't be objective and get the feelings of the Ohio State loss out of the way to really think about how ridiculous that statement sounds. I have no more words for you buddy, if you really think that then this offseason is gonna be a long sad affair for you. Enjoy it!

Most every fan likes coach Heupel, but he has about 4 coaches that if he doesn't get rid of might eventually be his downfall

I think we could hire a few better position coaches but turning over that much staff would be an issue imo. If Banks leaves Martinez retires anyways. Idk if Willie will choose to be back anyways. IMHO CB play is one of the smallest issues. Not sure what’s happening with the Oline but we have to be better there; I know we had injuries etc but there’s no reason we don’t have better depth in that area. It’s probably the most important area in terms of wins and losses.

Good points. My opinion is Elarbee and Pope need to go. And most of y'all know I have never liked Banks.

No offence, but I think you are wrong. At this point Florida has better team, but they also have a harder schedule than we do

No offense taken. Opinions make all of us wrong a lot.
Yours tend to skew towards pessimism. Mine tend to skew towards optimism. But even then, I try to be objective. For instance, I made a way-too-early prediction that UT would be 7-5 this season. 🤷‍♂️

Agree with Pope being fired and so should Elarbee. I have never liked Banks

Far as Banks, we’ve improved every year defensively since he got here. I don’t think he’s elite but he’s pretty good. Adjustments though really suck; that said you can only adjust so much if you don’t have the talent. We have to get better at safety; just do not have the speed there to do much.

Of course the sky isn't falling

But the concern some fans have are we've flown as high as we possibly can in it with Heupel driving the ship

Valid concern, but one that I'll really worry about if this continues to be where we max out the next 3-5 years

For you Gator Fans in this forum.
Merry Christmas. That’s the best I can do for you suck ass fans. A true TN fan would never say Florida is better than TN in anything even if you have evidence or proof. You cannot ride both sides. All VOLs or drop out.
