re: UT and Dooley

I think the Vols are 4-5 years from competing for the SECE again. 5 wins this year will be good. 6 wins next year will be okay. After that, I would expect to see 8-9 wins in 2012 and 2013.

I think if you look at the teams that played in Athens Saturday, UT only had one starter that could have started for Georgia (Janzen Jackson). That would be true for Fla, Ala, USC, and LSU as well. We have a long way to go.

Fulmer had two bad recruiting classes in his last four years. On top of that, 39 players have quit or been kicked off the team since Fulmer was fired. You can basically write off four entire recruiting classes in those numbers. Almost like getting the death penalty.
