Do you believe Tennessee will win the East in back to back years in the next 10 years?

Tennessee and Florida are not comparable. Florida has a huge amount of recruits, while Tennessee to rely on out of state talent. Tennessee has nice facilities, but even if they get a dynamic coach it is still difficult for them.

There is a reason why UT has only played for and won one National Title in the last 50+ years....and for UT those reasons still exist.....

Eleven years ago, I sat on this board and read thread after thread explaining why Alabama was a "has been". They were a thing of the past, living precariously on the memories of a deceased head coach who could never be replaced in the modern era. Why couldn't Bama fans get their heads out of the clouds (or out of their asses depending on the poster) and accept the mediocrity?

I originally saved dozens of those threads to use later for steaming dishes of crow, but fate killed my hard drive.

There may come a point in the future that people realize Tennessee doesn't have to recruit as heavily out of state anymore. That is a false narrative that continues to get used against them for some reason.

Okay. If Mizzou can win back to back East titles, then UT can do it. Get the right coach and the right QB, and it's easy.

It’s not as bad as you think.
