Predicted 2021 record for Tennessee football

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

How do you think the Vols will do this season record wise? I’m going with 6-6 with a bowl appearance although 5-7 or even 4-8 wouldn’t surprise me. 7-5 would be above expectations and a great first year for Heupel.

I just hope our fan base realizes this is a first year head coach (In the SEC) with a brand new team. We will not win the SEC East this year, so please, lets not call for the coaches head after Year 1. Give these guys some time to mesh and create something.

I agree, 100%!

But, if after year three and he does what Butch did or even Dooley before him, lets cut bait like we should have with Jones. Anyone who could not see during and after '15 that Butch was not going to be the one, does not need to be involved in football!

6-6 is okay
7-5 is satisfactory
8-4 is COTY type stuff

Just don't see the Vols winning the "toss ups" on the road--at least at this stage--so probable losses to Mizzou and Kentucky. Also don't see winning against Pitt at home. New schemes, new systems, and attrition are a lot to overcome. The team will hopefully exceed expectations, in which case a 7-5 season is certainly possible.

. Pitt a big game if we lose that one then 5-7 and 4-8 are very likely

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Pitt and South Carolina are must win games at home if we want to go bowling again

 

[VFL28]

6-6.
Although I'd trade all season wins for just one win against, Gumpville.

 

[EricStratton]

I’m more interested in the over/under.

Agreed
Think we outscore 1st 3 opponents in wild shoot outs. Start thinking about betting the over on these games now.
KY, Mizzou SC and USA wins would make a great year w maybe a trip to Tampa . Stealing one against the others would indeed be Coach of the year stuff. Will depend on the defensive portal additions imo . Think offense will be ok.

7-5 would not be above expectations and would not be a great first year for Heupel.........LOL.

. Yes it would considering most preseason magazines and the media have us going 5-7 or 6-6. They go 8-4 and he should be COTY in the SEC.

Preseason mags and media.............that's where you rely on good info? They're clueless.

I voted 5-7. I think they beat the cupcakes, but drop one of Pitt or South Carolina and win the other.

Says the guy who thought Pruitt was the answer til the very end....

 

[VolBricks]

Not really, probably more like 6-6.

If we go 3-9 then....

Jk I feel we all know he has to have some time to try to build and get on the right track

I'm pretty confident we roll into the Florida game undefeated, and if we shock them there, then the sky is the limit.

 

[parasite]

I am going with a 7 win season as I believe we have enough talent to do so,but injuries could cost us especially on defense!

You are talking about Tennessee fans. LMAO. They will more than likely have the hot seat ready after Game 4.

 

[American_PitVol]

9-3. Sticking to it.

 

[IndianaVol]

I'm taking the safe wager and saying 6-6, but could be 7-5 if we get a lucky bounce in a game.
Too many unknows with new coaches, players, schemes, etc. to say 8-4.

That said, if we get an unlucky bounce and end up 5-7, I won't be disappointed IF our guys are giving the fight in every game for every minute.

 

[The Original Fade]

More than half think we win 7 or more. Wow

 

[OffTackleVol]

Yep, I thought he was. Started having my doubts when he trotted Gitmo out as the starting QB versus Kentucky.
