7 wins a year starting next year

[deatojl]

You... you realize we are averaging OVER 9 wins a season under Heup don't you?

If you take out the first season, where JH came in late and lost around 35 players in a transition year, we have averaged exactly 10 wins per year. If we can win out and get a bowl win this season, we would have 40 wins over the last 4 seasons.

You're wrong, the wrongest wrong, in fact may be the most wrong ever to be wrong. (Said in Trump voice)

The whole state is just beautiful, with the checkers, the white, the orange, the 100,000 people! Just beautiful, the Dollywood, can’t forget the Dollywood, with the one and the two, they are both just beautiful! (Said in a Trump voice)

 

[Rocky Top T]

well we average 9 per year right now under Heupel so for the average to drop to 7 he would have to only win 5 games several years in a row. So no, your logic is ridiculous

He said starting next year, did you read that

If he doesn't get a real DC, I believe he will lose 4-5 every year starting next year

What a weak a$$ thread! Y’all know better than this BS. TN is a missed FG away from beating GA this season, that’s not nothing. Bad luck, but that’s just football. Competing with a Kirby Smart GA team isn’t nothing. Sounds like I’m being arrogant, but it’s true. Today, and for the moment, if you can compete with GA, you have the potential to beat anyone. But go on and run off the best HC you’ve had in 20 years. See where that gets you.

We were also one play from losing to Miss St and Arkansas, but guess we can't talk about that

Sad some fans drink the koolaid and like it. Banks needs to be shown the door. 3rd and long bites us every game. We make scrambling QBs Superman all the time. When a starting corner goes down we don’t seem to ever have anyone ready to step up.! And this gimmick offense needs to be replaced with a more NFL style that focused on more crossing routes and less on snapping the ball so fast. I miss the I formation pound games. Defense wins titles. Not slinging it around 60 times a game. Yes we run the ball a lot. But we can’t seem to get 4th and short in critical situations when we need it. Warm up the moving trucks. This staff has peeked.

You're using soundbites from 10 years ago. Time to update your resume.

We are also one 40 yard field goal from beating Georgia. None of those things matter.

If you're going to keep repeating the same thing over and over begging for attention let me take you up on that. Next year when we have Banks we will win 6 or more games. I am willing to cash app any 3rd party you choose to hold our money. I am willing to be anywhere from $100-$500. Your choice. I will gladly take that bet for next season.

You can’t? Sure you can, and it’s a valid point, but nothing to do with what I was trying to say. I was referring to the potential of the team, not the consistency. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe GA just played down to another inferior opponent like they too often do, but it certainly didn’t feel like that when the TN offense was going up and down the field at will.

Perhaps there does need to be coaching changes, but certainly not at HC. You guys are and have been a very good team since CJH arrived. Haven’t gotten to the extreme top yet, but certainly much better than before. It’s possible that CJH is another Mark Richt. Very good but never quite good enough, but it’s also possible that things just haven’t clicked perfectly yet. It almost always takes a bit of luck along with a great team to win a championship. My Dawgs were extremely good in both championship seasons, but there was also a bit of luck involved in both.

Win 6 or more??? You have a lot of confidence don't you. No one is begging for attention, , what kind of statement is that?? Also you can ignore my comments. I wish you would.

Heupel is good for sure but not great. Also if you will be honest Georgia could have easily had 3 more losses, but they got the breaks

I have never gone into any situation in my life assuming I would lose. I do not care how high the odds are stacked against me. And I would never ignore a comment like yours. People who lean into self deprecation in a world already full of negativity are the ones who need to be spoken to the most. Believe it or not I am trying to help you see things clearer and understand more. You do not have to stay negative just to stay negative. You can choose to be a happy and smiling person if you want to be. Let me help you become that person.

I absolutely agree, we should have lost to you guys, and could have easily lost to both Ole Miss and Florida. Yes, we could easily have 3 more losses. That’s CFB though, and for some reason we are good in those close games more often than not. Maybe it’s luck, maybe it’s a talent advantage, maybe it’s coaching? It’s football, I ain’t apologizing for it, I’ve been on the other end of it more times than not. Likely won’t be long before things change again, so I’m enjoying my team being very good while I can.

Which one play would have lost the game against either team?

 

[CAVPUT]

Seriously. We have enough cryass weaklings around here who pitch a tantrum and act like children when things don’t go their way. We don’t need more coming out of the woodwork after any loss.

These are not the people you want in your corner in life. You can tell who the miserable failures are. They come here and tell on themselves.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Go away

Agree.

There should be an entry test for posting on Volnation and it Needs to be a little bit tougher than the President's cognitive test.

When you hear former players or current coaches talking objectively, that’s all the confirmation anyone needs.

To be fair they did add more pro set concepts on O this year…

 

[Swiftybaby]

I can solve our defensive struggles..fire banks and hire the one and only Jeremy Pruitt

We seem to be getting a bunch of weak a$$ threads from purported “fans” lately.

 

[volfeeva]

Last year the negative predictions for this year didn't start until after the season was over and the portal rat jumping began. This year, we're getting predictions for next year way before the portal dance begins and while the seasons still playing out.

 

[Volizona]

2021 was a mulligan year. If we find a way to win 10 this year with a bowl win, we will have averaged 10 wins the past 4 years

Whoops. Missed this. The exact point I just made.

 

[deatojl]

Whoops. Missed this. The exact point I just made.

Since the start of the 2022 season, we have the 9th best winning percentage(75%) among power 4 schools +Notre Dame. None of the 8 ahead of us have had recruiting restrictions during that span, nor did they have to build up from anywhere remotely close to what we have.

 

[UTK]

We were counting titles when we signed Nico. How'd that turn out? Kinda think we've seen enough to know you never know how a HS kid will do once he gets on SEC football fields.

Hope he's all that and a box of cracker jacks, but....

You also don’t know we’re going to win 7 games a year starting next year when Josh has only won 7 games once and it was first year lol.

 

[deatojl]

Yea but what if we have Tim Banks as our DC next year? There no way we can win more than 7 games per year with him running the defense. It's not like he has been here for the last five years.

Bad hill to die on, but you be you. You’ll need a new excuse book next year.

No way another P4 program even sniffs him.

 

[deatojl]

In what way exactly? What would you say is the more accurate predictor? The fact we will have won at or very near 10 games per year with his defense in place over a four year span or your fear that we will no longer be able to win more than 7 games if he continues to be here?
As a side note, I make no excuses for the performance of the defense this season. I also am not at all pleased with the overall performance of the defense this season. I can, however, use rational thought to see that we have been able to win games at a high rate even when our defense has not been up to par.
