Jones is heading into his third season:
2013: 5-7 (2-6) Ranked #26 nationally by 247 in recruiting
2014: 7-6 (3-5) Ranked #7 nationally by 247 in recruiting
2015: *** (***) Currently ranked #3 nationally by 247 in recruiting
Not asking how many wins you SEE, but how many wins will it take to be happy? What will you consider a successful season?
Sept.5 – vs. Bowling Green (Nashville)
Sept. 12 – Oklahoma
Sept. 19 – Western Carolina
Sept. 26 – at Florida
Oct. 3 – Arkansas
Oct. 10 – Georgia
Oct. 17 – Bye
Oct. 24 – at Alabama
Oct. 31 – at Kentucky
Nov. 7 – South Carolina
Nov. 14 – North Texas
Nov. 21 – at Missouri
Nov. 28 – Vanderbilt

I think 8 regular season wins has become the consensus going into next season.
Anything more then that is a cherry on top

I only see six wins on their schedule?

the should be competing for the East next year... returning QB... bunch of playmakers at WR and RB... great DL... solid DBs...
every UT fan on this board will down play their expectations for 2015, but the reality is they should be competing for the East and take significant steps forward next season... it shouldn't take more than 3 years to rebuild, especially the way UT has recruited.

I'll be very happy with 9-3. 8-4 is okay as long as UT gets some quality wins. 2016 is the year that we kick some arse, not 2015.

Y'alls OL will be fricking nasty in 2016.

8-4 will be the minimum expectation. And all things considered would be the best season Tennessee has had since '07 which is sad, but after everything we have been through would feel great.
We HAVE to beat Florida next year though. That game will set the tone for the season and we should have the more talented team next year.

I really just don't think they are very good. More experience will make them better, but the ceiling isn't very high for most of them.

It should be a 2 horse race between UGA and them

Still seems like a tough schedule. Oklahoma even in a down year isn't going to exactly be an auto win.
@ Florida is a place where UT generally shits the bed, even if they are actually better than Florida.
@ Alabama obviously will be tough.
I see a lot of toss ups on that schedule too.
I think they have a chance to win the SEC East, but they'll have to play more consistently than they have in a long time.

8 regular season wins is the minimum to really call it a "success". 7 and a bowl win is on par. Anything below is a disappointment.
Posted on 1/23/15 at 1:18 pm to atlau
I would like 8-9 wins but expect 6-7.
Posted on 1/23/15 at 1:18 pm to atlau
8+ is the expectation. So much depends on that OL but even they should be better, especially if Blair takes his spot at tackle as is expected.
Posted on 1/23/15 at 1:24 pm to atlau
I am going to say I want 8 wins just to be safe but I can honestly see this team winning 10 games next season maybe. I can not see anything less that 7 though. There is an excitement and energy on campus right now that has lacked the past 6 seasons. Butch is doing good things.
Posted on 1/23/15 at 1:33 pm to atlau
I think they have built a ten win team. I'm rooting for them.

I was starting to let myself believe we could jump up into the 10-2 realm, but our OC leaving and us not being the only team with coaching continuity in the East has caused me to move it back down to 8-4. Could certainly see 7-5 or 9-3 too.
Anything more or less than that 3 game range and I'll be either Pissed or ecstatic.

Coach Bajakian leaving will make us better. Apparently we have coaches from all over calling in wanting to get an interview. They are seeing the talent thats coming in. Throw in Dobbs and our RB's and given the East isn't at full strength yet, Tennessee will get a big name OC.

They will go 15-0 and they won't be scored on but their cheerleaders will be constantly scored on.
