Lines aside. We are supposed to have a God-send of a head coach and our schedule more than compensates. Only 4 away games, we should beat UK and Mizzou now that their good players have been drafted and none of ours were. No power house OOC games. Outside of Bama, UGA, and maybe UF all games should be winnable if we are improved over the 2018 team. I believe 8 regular season wins should be easily achievable otherwise no progress has been made. I'm not PREDICTING 8 wins. I'm saying 8 wins should happen given what I just laid out.
4 OOC wins
Vandy
UK
USC
MSU
Those should all be winners.
Throw in Mizzou and a possible win at UF to swap out for any of those 8 games above and there should be an extremely likely chance at 8 wins before a bowl game.
Pruitt was an incredible hire only with the caveat that we were a national laughing stock for botching our search so badly and Fulmer still convinced him to rebuild this cave-in from under the rubble.
Some of the coaches who turned down the previous AD were no better than Butch.
Even Leach, who would have won here and filled the stadium, was not going to get us past Bama or Georgia or Florida.
With Pruitt, and the very strong staff we have now, there is a path back to the top simply because he gets what it takes to get there.
