I wouldn't expect 10 wins, but if Dooley could win 6 games with our 2010 roster, I'd be very disappointed if we don't win 7. Also wouldn't mind seeing Butch out coach someone and win a game or two that we aren't supposed to win.
Prepare to be disappointed. With our roster and our schedule he will qualify for Sainthood if he wins 7.
Beating AP, WKU, South Alabama, Mizzou, Auburn, Vandy and Kentucky qualfies or Sainthood? All but Mizzou and UK are in Neyland Stadium. UT has more talent than every single one of those teams, a lot more than most of them. Winning 7 should be expected to be honest. I know it's Butch's first year and there will be bumps but less than 7 wins means we lost a game we shouldn't have and didn't beat anyone better than us.
That's my point. Win the ones we're supposed, pull out close ones, and sneak away with an upset or two. The last five years have really lowered our expectations. Candy and Kentucky should always be wins, and Mizzou should pretty much be also.I think we win all those plus one the "experts" don't expect us to win.
What say you, Ron?

I think so too. Probably UGA or USC. I'd prefer a win over Oregon, even though it's out of conference, that win would give this team the confidence they need to beat anyone else on the schedule and would fill our last few spots in the 2014 class with guys like Adoree Jackson.
the key to the season will be the final 4 games down the stretch. we have as much, if not more, SEC talent than any of the 4 we teams we will face:
Missouri - bad team
Auburn - in Neyland
open date
Vanderbilt - in Neyland
Kentucky - bad team
there's no reason that with better coaching & condtioning we can't go 4-0 in those games.
pair that with 3 ooc wins and we get to 7 wins + a bowl game.

Following the 31-23 upset win at OR a lot of 2014 recruits will be looking at their TV's thinking, "why did I wait to commit to the damn VOLS"?
Sorry guys, class is full.

Not sold on the bolded. Yes, Missouri got punched in the mouth their first SEC season, but they do have some nice pieces on that team like Kony Ealy and it would not shock me to see them rebound this year. Now I will say that I am less worried about that game since it is at the end of the year than I would have been if it was early.
