The 90’s, early aughts aren’t returning for them, but there’s no real reason they couldn’t be at a level of say, an LSU, and finish 3rd in their division consistently. They still obviously have a much more recent NC than UGA as well.

This is the most efficient troll of several teams that I have ever seen. Have an upvote.

This part is probably close, if only b/c of how difficult it's become to pluck players out of VA, and the rest of the South. Fulmer and his staff were consistently able to get the top players out of each state in the South year after year, esp GA. Recruiting is so different now, and with Kirby at UGA; recruiting the top talent there is even more of a battle. The biggest hurdle for TN has always been the lack of in-state talent, and having to pull the majority of high caliber players from out of state. That being said, Nashville itself is booming; and the in-state talent has been on a big time rise the past few years. It will be interesting to see what this staff or the next can do with that moving forward.
