So the fall was losing to the eventual national champions in the SECCG to going 5-7 and going to your 4th different coach in as many years. What part exactly is their "rise"? The hiring of a coach that was semi-successful at a small mid to small D1 school coughDOOLEYcough or the landing of a few good recruits cough'07'09cough?

But on a serious note.
This has been covered, but unless they get an excellent coach, Tennessee is one power that's never going to come back.
You can't compare them to Bama, Texas or Ohio St. Those schools have natural recruiting grounds in their home state like those schools do. Coming back won't come as easy to Tenn. as it was for them. Most recruits today were in elementary school the last time Tenn was relevent.
Tennessee doesn't have the name brand it had 20 years ago and can't rely on instate talent that grew up UT fans to bring them back. It will take a huge name coach to perform a miracle to bring them back, and a former Cincinatti coach isn't going to do that.
Unfortunately Tenn. may never come back. Kind of like Pitt was back in the day in CFB, but now is largely ignored and irrelevent.

Oklahoma doesn't have natural recruiting grounds either, but they rape that Texas arse.

Tennessee will not return as quickly as Alabama, but they will come back. There is too much tradition to keep that program down indefinitely. The fanbase and following is there.
As much as I enjoy beating down the viles every year, I'm about ready for them to return. I think we got our pound of flesh back for the Fulmer years (or ton, whichever is more appropriate).

Not no but HELL NO!!
They lined up behind that fat bastard single file and every word he spoke was gospel.
Destroying(or trying too)a fellow SEC member was far more important that tending your own program.They can wallow in the pile of shite Fulmer left them for all eternity for that matter!
frick Tennessee!

They have been deflated for so long I don't think even tennstud could blow them back up.

Nah. Tennessee is the next Minnesota. Used to be really good, only to fall off the map and never be heard from again.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Tennessee.... but man, I don't know if I'd actually wish Lane Kiffin on anyone.

That is sad - it really is. I had no idea UT has fallen this far. Seriously. Can you imagine a video having to be made like that a decade ago?
It's sad, it really is. Never thought I would see the day.

Just thinking ... you know what this is about? This is about a karma kickback of mega magnitude. Phat Phucking Phil ... that fat bastard ruined y'all. It just hit me how hard it is going to be for y'all to come back.
I need to go look this up but maybe someone already knows and will save me the time. What is Butch Jones' all-time record against Saban, Miles, Richt, Spurrier?
