I don’t want a head coaching change. I don’t even know if staff changes are needed.

Where I’m at after the whole 5-year tenure of wins, losses and roster management is that I no longer have confidence that this head coach will elevate the program any farther than what we’ve already seen. Whether that’s good enough is not my decision to make. I’m just not expecting anything more. And I hope to be proven wrong.

Did you also lose confidence in Johnny Majors after year 5?

I was pretty young then so I don't remember. I remember losing confidence in Dooley, Butch and Pruitt all at different points. Can't tell you which season or event caused it. I do remember that it was pretty steady downhill from there and each were eventually fired. I'm still hopeful on Heupel but not confident.

I think you should be. Remember his worst seasons were on par with some of their best. And also remember every coach by year 5 with the Vols that you mentioned had multiple losing seasons. Heupel has had zero.

That 2007 season was one that looked great on paper, but backed into the SEC title game.

Lost to an average Cal team 45-31

Blown out 59-20 @ Florida

Blown out 41-17 @ Alabama
