It seems like when Tennessee is ranked at the top, they always fall. I think next year Tennesee will come out ready to prove that they are on top where they belong. I know it seems hard to belive, but with the changes that Tennesee has made, I think that they can win the SEC next year. :D

I've been making comparisons of this team to the '03 Auburn team all season long... we've played a lot worse than they did, but then again they DID lose to a mediocre GT team that year. The only thing that saved Tuberville was a win over 'bama, and then they went undefeated last year.

The program is seriously broken. We are not going to contend for anything for awhile. Right now I really think next year will be worse than this year. We are losing 27 senoirs. We are not going to win the east playing a bunch of inexperienced sophmores and redshirt frosh. Take off the orange tinted glasses and see things as the REALLY are. UT sucks! They are not a little sucky. They are a full-on sucktacular suckfest of suckiness. It will probably take 5-10 years and a couple of head coach changes to fix this.

I think youn will all be surprised next year, mark my words. We wont win em all but we will win some big ones, and get this thing righted. Im not that sad about losing so many seniors, I really think being young next year may be the only thing that saves us. This season is done. Fulmer is staying for at least another year. Get over it. A year from now, this year will be a blip on the radar. Recruiting will suffer this year, but recruiting is not our problem this year, we will pull enought talent to get back on track. Did the east teach us nothing (cough cough, spurrier)? Having the best recruits means jack.

You have to be kidding me?

It could happen, but I'll probably be sitting back and watching South Carolina and Florida duke it out for the division title.

I really disagree with you Hillbilly. I don't understand how one bad season automatically equates to 5-10 years of horrible records. Auburn did alright for themselves this year, and they lost ALL their playmakers. We did alright after we lost all those seniors in the late 90's ...

I think your argument is about as effective as one saying "oh, i was in a car crash that was my fault. I'm not going to be able to drive well for 5-10 years and at least a couple different kinds of cars" Sound ridiculous?

I think we'll be just fine. There's too many negative nancies around here, imo. Noone has any faith in our team. I thought we were horrible after losing to Clemson in the Peach bowl..but we did great the next year, compared to what these naysayers predicted.

I don't understand how arguments can be made other than that there's 27 seniors leaving. I'm not denying that we're losing some great talent, but how do we know there aren't going to be some younger guys stepping up? And furthermore, I didn't reckognize quite a few of our seniors. Age doesn't always equate to great ability.

Unless that woman was a Marine. Even then calling her a woman would be questionable. Any Marine goes by Marine before they go by anything else. Calling them anything else before recognizing their Marine-ness leads to one bad thrashing.

I dont think he was talking about our record. It might take 5 or so years to correct the discipline problems. U gotta understand this team is full of thugs and primadonnas, once we weed them out then things might get better, but it has to start with the coaches first.

I only quoted a snippet in order to save space. When you talk about Auburn you have to look back at those games and ask yourself if thier players gave up. I would say no. They were undermanned but they fought hard. Our defense had some fight in it but they have given up. The offense showed some fight for one half against LSU. The Vols have a systemic problem that is going to have to be worked out over time. The coaches have let the players dictate. Guys who are in the system now will expect (probably demand) that they continue to have influence over what should be coaching decisions. We are going to have to wait for the team to purge itself of malcontents before we see any real improvement.

Anyone who has ever lost weight knows that it takes about twice as long to work it off as it did to put it on. I am afraid that is what we are faced with.

Yes. taht is what I mean. We may win 7-10 games next year without really "fixing" anything.

We need players who play for UT first, and not themselves first.  Way too many players with the I attitude.

I kindof agree with that...but I think it's more of a lack of chemistry. You look at the women's teams, they are all about chemistry and unity, and it shows in their records. They care about winning, not about stats.

Personally I just dont see Tennessee having back to back years like this. I have never seen them do this bad one year much less 2 years in a row.

Do you know what you are talking about? Auburn was beaten badly in 4 of their 5 losses. The close loss was to Ole Miss. At least Tennessee has been in position to win ALL their games. 27 seniors? How many in key positions though?? WR Hannon... so.... QB Clausen.... so .... RB Riggs.... so.... there are some key losses on the offensive line but they've had enough guys get key experience due to injuries that there will be 4 returning players with starting experience on the offensive line. The biggest losses are on the defensive line and linebacker. However, Chavis has proven that he reloads in those positions, not rebuilds. Most of the highly recruited players end up on defense. The entire defensive backfield is returning.

Chavis has proven to put a championship caliber defense on the field every season. With a new quarterbacks coach and OC coming, either Ainge or Crompton will be adequate to contend for the SEC Championship next season. Foster along with Hardesty and Coker form a promising backfield. And if Fulmer gets more involved in the day-to-day coaching of the offensive line... wow. The season's in the past where Fulmer coached the o-line, the Vols averaged over 200+ yards rushing per game. Usually tops in the SEC.

I think next season will be great!

If CPF can get control of the program, we have a chance at a good season. He made need to let go of a few bad apples to make it happen. With the retooling of the offensice coaching staff and some stern guidelines, he could get us back on track. But, we will wait and see. Another offseason filled with legal issues and players out of control, he is on his way to coaching somewhere else.

We've got a coach that feels like after 1998, we didn't need any more championships.
