What will it take for opposing fans to say Tennessee is back?

What is the criteria?

A 10-11 win season?
Win the East?
Win the SEC?
Make the playoffs?

How high is the bar set?

Win the SEC.

Winning the East isn't impressive at all

They'll never say it, no matter what. Phillip Fulmer touched them all as children and they'll never get over it.

I mean a 10 win season would do it for sure. But mainly how you play the big boys. Arkansas has bad record last year but definitely got my attention with how they played bama and auburn and how they finished with lsu ole miss and UT.

When teams start getting nervous about playing you you are there.

I can see the merit in here.

The East has been weak the past few.

Obviously... as shown by our lack of winning since.

You expect validation from your rivals?

Snap the 10 game losing streak to Florida, win the East, at least play the West team close in the SECCG, and a good bowl win. If all those happened I doubt anyone could really argue Tennessee isn't back to where they should be.

When they actually prove it. All Tennessee fans have done is talk...I've yet to see results on the field.

Honestly the Oklahoma and Florida games will tell a lot. If Butch still can't beat these two rebuilding teams with his roster, you might as well cut your losses.

That's easy:

The constant bragging after a 7 win season isn't going to help the cause BTW.

Remember when UtK fired that guy? One of the best coaches in SEC history, a year removed from an SEC East title and a 7 point loss in the title game (Johnathan Zenon is still terrorizing Eric Ainge's dreams), and Tennessee fired him for Lane "Singing Rocky Top All Night Long When We Beat Florida" Kiffin.
