We have the same record as LSU..

[Cartervol]

All you really have to do at Tennessee is go 8-4 or better every year and you will be fine. Just cant go 7-5, 6-6 or worse or you will eventually be given your walking papers .

May have the right guy for that. Get punked by 3 or 4 more physical teams every year.

 

[TNStudMuffin]

But yet it’s like the world is melting… 8-4 is still better than most seasons in the past 15 years. This staff will finally have more than 60% of the team as their recruits next year and we can still ruin Georgias season next week with a great game. I love our Vols and still trust this is the staff to lead us into the future GBO…

The past 15 years? I'm not going to live in the past to justify the present.

Tennessee embarassed LSU last year & had the same record despite having to play Ga. Anybody say anything about that? No

THAT, my friend is a great line!

Their losses are to undefeated fsu in essentially a road game, at Alabama, and at top 10 ole miss in the final seconds.

They beat Missouri on the road, hung 49 on em. They just hung 50 on Florida. We let both those average at best teams embarrass us.

It’s not a fair comparison. I do admire your ability to distort reality in order to remain positive.

That LSU offense would humiliate our defense and UTs offense would have no hope of keeping pace.

Given our recruiting, I think we might see an uptick in our physicality going forward. Can't be any softer.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Freeze isnt doing anything Heupel hasn't done already.

OK then. Argue for arguments sake. Staple on VN.

Ain't signed yet, and there BETTER be plenty of BEEF, and not just skill people

 

[JohnWardForever]

Freeze has never won a championship. Not sure what your reply has to do with what I am asking.

Quick! Name the coach who beat Saban back to back..... I'll wait.

Let's hope so..

What did he win ? Orange Bowl ? Division ? SEC ? The answer ? Not arguing Freeze is a good coach however he hasn't done anything Heupel hasn't in a much worse situation. I still believe Heupel can win here. However I do believe he needs to make some hard decisions on staff.

Given how we’ve looked against mobile and this year, I might agree with you.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

It’s like you can’t read. Saying “lol” over and over doesn’t help your argument. The answer is “no”. Championship level coaches don’t lose like that.

Urban Meyer lost by 4 TDs to Perdue.
Dabo got trucked by almost 4 TDs NC State
Spurrier got blasted by 27 and 38 by Bama and Nebraska.
Tom Osborne got beat 19-0 in 1996. He was ranked #1.
Pete Carrol lost to unranked Stanford by 34.

That’s just a few examples that prove your statement wrong. Even the best coaches can have horrible games.

He is a cheater. Get over yourself. How many division titles, conference titles or national titles has he won?

It’s not about the record it’s about how we got beat and by who. Championship caliber coaches don’t get beat like that let alone in year 3. It’s a bad sign.

I agree. It’s the way that we lost. Losing to Florida this year, especially the way that we did was unacceptable. Losing to Bama on the road because of zero halftime adjustments was bad. I would even say that losing a close one to the best mizzou team we’ve seen in years at their place would’ve been “acceptable”. But getting absolutely mopped by them was complete BS. It was like the team was already looking ahead to Georgia.
