None of us know what next season will actually bring. Could be the playoffs. Could be 8-4. Could be 6-6 or worse. We don't know. Mu opinion is we've not upgraded our roster enough, and that we miss the playoffs again. Really hope my opinion is wrong. But if we do miss the playoffs again, that's a failure IMO.

I feel bad for our staff because opposing coaches have a competitive advantage.

So if LSU misses the playoffs, what's their excuse gonna be?

You may be speaking in generalities, but since you responded to my post, I'm going to respond as if it were specificly targeted.

I'll just say it's awfully presumptuous of you to pretend to know how I felt about Danny White, his accomplishments or his hires before coming to Tennessee. It's also presumptuous of you to think you know my opinion is so simple-minded as to be in response to a single regular season loss to Vandy.

There is no way of proving that Danny White has a correlation to Rick Barnes and his E8s, or Tony Vitello and his National Championship. Both those guys were here when Danny rolled on campus. Allowing Danny White a victory lap on their accomplishments is low-hanging fruit. Do they celebrate those together? Sure. But we can't know what direct impact Danny White had on them.

Again, yours is another response that doesn't seemingly allow for middle ground. It's either all in on DW or you assume others are all out. I'm not calling for him to be fired and I recognize that he has done some good things (Rick Barnes's contract, for example). I just don't subscribe to the idea that he is infallible like some are prone to do. I won't pretend to know your total stance on him, but you're level-headed enough to know the guy has his warts. He isn't perfect, and this idea of, "well, he's the best we've had in a long time" is a pretty easy comparison given his predecessors. It isn't insulting or demeaning to admit the bar was set pretty low by Mike Hamilton (RIP), Dave Hart, John Currie, and Phillip Fulmer.

Indeed, it is impossible to know your mind. Though based on your words I’m thankful
I don’t.

Why would they draft a QB #1 when they had sooooooo many other holes? Cam Ward will waste his career in TN just like DH.
Upgrades and a new DC still takes time. This ain't CFB '26.

How is it "wasting his career in TN" the deepest playoff run he's had to date was with the Titans.

AFC championship game, best RB in the league on a team that featured hardly sound like wasting a career.

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I really don’t understand why we didn’t look at Lagway. I think Heupel could do wonders with him. The kid is an athlete, he just had a terrible coach.

Eh, he's horribly inaccurate, he has schizophrenic way of playing QB. All up or all down.

Don't know, don't care. That's for LSU fans to worry about. I only worry about my Vols. Why would I give a damn about any other team?

You said the staff is at a competitive disadvantage. LSU is apparently the wild west and can get anything they want at any cost. Just wondering if they are at a disadvantage if they miss out?

It’s complete bulls**t. No agent is going to take “perks” in pay. The player gets taxed on it and they’d obviously prefer money. Sorsby’s deal was 3 at the start of the portal and then was bumped to something between 4-5 toward the end. We could’ve had him for 5. He did not get 10mm in Costco peanut butter or golfballs to close it.

For sure. They’d obviously prefer Trader Joe’s cookie butter and crumpets. No wonder we f’d up.

People that are acting like this is not a big deal are not observing that we are losing mediocre players to schools like Virginia, Miss State, Baylor, and Arkansas. This is not going well at all. They don’t even have a big list of guys coming in.

Losing what?

So you’re upset that we aren’t getting enough mediocre players. Got it

Some of y’all are crazy

So it appears we still have a few spots to fill and no real traction with any prospects. Are we just planning to fill the positions with walk ons or do we enough on roster already. I know players dont have to sign by tonight but wouldnt they have to pretty soon with classes starting?

Other staffs are allowed to blatantly flaunt the rules. Lane is at the forefront of doing so. So yes, they have a competitive advantage as the NCAA isn't even attempting to dole out any punishments.
