More than a 7-6 season and a bunch of off season ESPN articles.

Which is apparently good enough for the Vol faithful.

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)


The name I was SICK of hearing after that game was Ricky Jean-Francois.

I think he had a career day.

Beating Florida and Bama on a regular basis, regardless of one years success getting dominated by your rivals makes it hard to take the Vols seriously.

An of the above would work for me, particularly if any of those are done two years in a row.

The better question is why do you care what we think? If I tell you Tennessee is back, would it make you feel better?

It was his first game he played that season. Won defensive MVP in the national title game a month later as well.

Weird how the East hasn't been the same ever since they got rid of Phil.

To match the TN fan's threads on here anything short of a SEC Championship would be a failure.

Everyone wants their team to be feared and respected by their rivals.

That is what makes it fun.

And has been in the NFL since. The duo of him and Dorsey would have been downright disgusting if he wasn't a dumbass.

I don't know, but if you guys ever do get "back" (whatever that is) you won't get to enjoy it since you will all act like jackasses and get yourselves banned.

Tennessee is not back despite what national publications want you to think.

Once he left, Urban didn't have to try as hard and UF slid into a bit of a funk. Without UT or UF, the East is no different than C-USA.

Your coach is below .500 and has never beat a big six team. It's gonna take a lot. Yall are gonna be better this year, just don't expect the world to bow down before a 8-4 Vols team next off season.
