it is pretty amazing how bad TN got given it has that huge nice venue for games and a lot of support and enthusiasm for the program. it is weird how a program can win a title then struggle to recruit a few years later.
All it takes is a horrible athletics director and a bad coaching hire. Things can snowball pretty quick.

I guess, it seems equivalent to Coach K not being able to recruit at Duke after winning the tittles with Lattener and Grant Hill.
I read an interesting article about how most of the in state talent in TN is in Memphis area and given how long the state is east-west, Knoxville doesn't really have the kind of home state appeal to the Memphis kids and they go out of state to ole miss, lsu,etc.
U. of T should have located in Nashville in my view, if the goal was to be consistent powerhouse in football. The TN legislature should have been proactive like Lousiana's and wiped out Vanderbilt's football program like Tulane's was destroyed, clear the field to have only one large state public football program. That is the biggest key to LSU's consistency in my view. Clemson would have some title teams over the years if we weren't splitting in state talent with SC.

Vandy is not a threat and we have been getting most all the talent out of middle TN. Talent in middle TN is exploding as well.
Problem is, with your hypothetical, Coach K would've been fired and then Duke not recruiting well. Fulmer recruited very well for the most part.
