Missouri's future vs. Tennessee's future.

Which is brighter?
Missouri has an established coach, who seems to have changed his philosophy a bit. A weak recruiting class, and a season that hinges on everything.
Tennessee has a new coach, a new philosophy, a slightly better recruiting class, and a season that hinges on the future.
Given historical data, I'd say Tennessee has a better chance to excel in the near future, at least in the east. But, if Missouri has a decent season, 8-4 or so, that may change some things.
I ask this because I see Tennessee as the program most similar to Mizzou in the east. Before you jump on the past history stuff, I'm talking right now, where we both stand with recruiting and current rosters.
All things being equal where will each program be in 5 years?
THE frickING RECRUITING NUMBERS ARE BASED OFF OF LAST YEAR YOU TOOTHLESS frickS.

I keep forgetting Mizzou is in the SEC.

Depends on how you view parts of the equation
Tennessee has the facilities and just needs a coach
Missouri may have a coach but they need the facilities

Tennessee. Nicer facilities, more history and tradition, nicer city.

Tennessee.

Tennessee, no doubt. They have a future as an SEC Big 6 member.
Mizzou has a future as a middle of the road Big Ten program

JMO...Pinkel isn't Mizzou's SEC future, he's your B12 past. Dude needs to go, the longer you wait the longer the rise will be, see UT & Fulmer.... That said Good Luck...

I think Butch Jones can close top 5 classes in the conference year in year out, especially with talent of metro Nashville area surpassing metro Memphis area. If you have top 5 talent in the conference you WILL compete for conference championships.
Missouri's 2014 class has 24 recruits and zero 4*. that tells you all you need to know.

Tennessee and it's not even close. Give the program time to recover from Dooley. Missouri never has shown the ability to recruit.

Look, I LOVE the story of Tenn falling off and Mizzou stepping up.
But until I see Mizzou bring in a top 15 recruiting class like Tenn does every year the breaks stay on.

Remote, I thought it was a legit discussion. Shame it got hijacked. Not even sure how Auburn and Vandy came into a discussion about Tennessee and Missouri.
There is no question in the world that UT has the history over Mizzou and is a much more storied program. But I think, as the programs sit today, there's not much difference. I know MU got a win at UT last year and we get them at home this year. I know the past recruiting classes were relatively close(NOT the 2014 class that hasn't even signed yet). On the one hand Mizzou has had relative stability in the coaching ranks, whatever that's worth. Conversely, UT is riding the honeymoon period of a new hire. UT's facilities are nice but what Mizzou is lacking is already being upgraded. Outside of the stadium itself, there aren't drastic differences between the two. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in future years.

Good luck looking this offseason...oh who are we kidding, yall will probably just promote a no name from within. That was the "big splash" OC hire after all!
