Last one for now, I promise. Everyone acting like Tennessee is lightyears away from being Tennessee is confusing to me. We've made an art out of stepping on our own dicks, and if we just stopped being a national embarrassment for 5 years, we'd be back to Tennessee not long after. We don't have to win the East or beat UGA, Bama, or UF. We just need to stop losing to the lower half of the East and West and the bleeding will stop and the recruiting will pick up. Tennessee will never be what Alabama is, and that's why everyone seems to think we won't be back. That's fricking stupid. Tennessee doesn't need to be Alabama, and it never has been.

Tennessee still recruits very well in Ga, Va, Nc, Sc, Md, Al. They still pull kids from Tx and Ca every class.
Pruitt the coach was more a victim of circumstances outside his control than being a bad coach. He was fired because of administrative issues.
I’m not sure you and I are watching the same sport. While TN might be getting “players” from some of those states, they’re not generally winning recruiting battles against any good schools in those states. And Jeremy Pruitt is an awful HC. You could see it in his pressers and on the field, where he seemed lost.

Some teams have sucked since 1940 and still haven’t recovered. Who knows?

The delusion? We beat 3 teams in conference and were beating Arkansas(who would have been our West opponent)until our offense just stopped in the second half thanks to Guarantano shutting off and them throwing shite at the wall for a quarter when we should have been up by three scores at half. You really think Bailey, who stepped on the field a better QB than Guarantano with only like seventeen practices to his name, wouldn't have been immensely better with a whole offseason with the team?

Recover? They haven't been relevant in well over a decade. And other than a few blips, its really been two decades.

Probably not good enough to make a crap team noticeably better. Y’all way overrate that kid.

It will take both florida and uga being down and then them being able to somehow capitalize on it at the right time by being good at the same time to begin to even get their hopes up for even remotely being able to make it back. They just don't have the in-state talent to do it any other way without cheating heavily. It's been since 2007 when they were relevant in the sec and 2001 since they've been relevant nationally. They have to recruit nationally to be any good and that's tough to do when the players these days have grown up with tennessee sucking donkey dick. I don't see it ever happening personally.

It will take two years of really smart moves to stabilize it and setting the ground work for the future.
Then two more years of reloading and recruiting/developing to be somewhat competitive.
If all is done extremely well..year 5 is my guess to being a real SEC contender again

Do you not remember Missouri? They would be the one to be taking advantage of the situation and not Tennessee!

Overrate? I'm not even calling him good, just better than Guarantano

At least a decade at this point.

Better enough to elevate the bad vols to 8 wins in a normal 2020? Doubtful.

They will never consistently recruit well enough to be good outside the odd once in 5 years or so if everything lines up right.

With the right people in place they can do it in 2 years. We did.

Realistically, how long will it take for Tennessee to recover
I don’t think they will.

Jeremy Pruitt will put the final dagger in UTs heart when he wins in court.
With a GREAT coach UT could come back quick. But - I don't see that happening for several decades - or never if paying players come to pass.
