Wait and see attitude with Pruitt?

UT has one of the most brutal stretches I can remember in recent memory--

5 game gauntlet:

vs Florida
@ Georgia
@ Auburn
vs Alabama
@ South Carolina

Do you win the opener vs Grier and West Virginia in Charlotte?

I have the Vols at 6-6 with that schedule.

This should be Holgo's best team at WVU and I expect them to put a giant, crooked number on Tennessee. If they lose, Holgo will be fired after the season.

I only see 4 good teams in that stretch. 4 teams that had a winning record last year.

I think they have a 50/50 shot in the opener.

Florida will be tough, but winnable. They'll go 0 for the next four.

I don't think Tennessee fans are on this site anymore.

But I'd be surprised if WV scores less than 45 on Tennessee. There is absolutely 0 reason to believe that the Vols could prevent that from happening. New defensive scheme, new head coach, new culture, no proven RB, shittty QB with an shittty backup. I expect this season to look a lot last last year.

With that being said, TN will probably be relevant in 3 years or so.

You cant base anything that happens this year off last year other than a new staff. The players for the most part were highly rated, highly sought after guys that had a bad head coach. With our schedule and a new scheme im not expecting to surprise the world with an 11 win season but I don't think some of those games are as unwinnable as you seem to.

The only thing I am comparing to last season is the QB. Sure Guantanamo might be improved, but with not much depth on the OL, he will probably struggle as will the running game. Pruitt has a lot of work cut out for him, I just hope Vol fans don't call for his head if/when he only wins 5 this year.

Only if the UT defense can keep WVU from putting up 40-plus while scoring in the 40s themselves...

Just my opinion, though. You can rest assured that WVU is going to throw the ball all over the field...a typical Big-12 offense. Question is, will they (WVU) have a decent defense?
