I have been wondering what the problem with Bailey has been? Milton, more experienced; Hooker looked pretty good outside of the int he threw, good scramble with his legs; but the only thing I can think of is Bailey doesn't have the experience. He's not going to get it on the bench. I hope they play his some good reps in the next game. Think Milton needs to go to the Peyton Academy to get his rocket arm tuned to hit receivers.Hooker is probably good enough to lead this team to a 6-6 record and a bowl invitation.
I think this is a 4-5 year rebuild. I’m settling in for it with the Predators as well.
I don’t see this a just a quarterback problem. We have a lone of scrimmage problem, a lone backer problem, a DB problem, and a running back problem at times.
Special teams look pretty solid.
Our roster was depleted but these guys do have some fight.
Everyone needs to step up and get better.
This is a 5-7 year I think. Could be better. Could be worse.
Penalties were a killer too.
I could name 30 things that cost us the game and that in itself is bad.
Buckle up and support the team. I think the only reason this staff fails is if they can’t recruit. We’re missing the quality and depth needed to compete.
Completely agree . . . maybe even longer when comparing where we really are vs the top 5 programs in the nation. After all, those programs aren't going to slow down anytime soon, so we're trying to catch a "moving train."
However, I think a large portion of the fan base is tired of one "long rebuild" after another. I know I am, even though I know another long rebuild is what's required until UT finally gets it right.
good one.It will be a long season no doubt, but at some point we have to realize it’s a new scheme both sides of ball with players from previous staff and a few transfers mixed in. Also, the loss of the better talent on the team to the portal. I would think yr 2 should be much better as far everyone knowing the scheme both sides of ball with HIS RECRUITS.
I'm not even sure it's actually so much a rebuild as it is this is who we are now. I'm not saying being 4-8 every year is who we are but I think the idea of "rebuild" isn't what some think. My idea of rebuild is getting back to 8-4/9-3 being a good year. The idea of us "rebuilding" to get back to the 90s level Vols is pretty much a fantasy to me or at the least very, very, very unlikely. We're 23 years since our last SEC Championship and if we're honest we all know we're not winning one in the next 7 years so it will be 30+ years before our next one. 30 freakin' years.
If Heupel can’t recruit better then he may not finish with a winning season here. You gotta admit Vegas would probaly rank his odds at getting fired here in 2024 at 70 percent just based on our recent history with coaches.
Truth
We are currently 28th in recruiting. One player in the Top 200. Best is currently 113
Rest are all below 395
We will never compete with this type of recruiting
This is worse than Dooley, Jones, and Pruitt
