I think he is a very good coach, but still growing. He needs to understand how to perform better on the road at this point. He does great in Neyland when he has the crowd or even in bowl games when the fan base shows up.He has exceeded my expectations, and I fully expect him to win at least one natty before he’s finished. Great coach.
To be fair a lot of teams struggle against GeorgiaI predicted
5-7 in 2021, went 7-5 before losing the bowl game
8-4 in 2022, went 10-2 before winning the bowl game
8-4 in 2023, went 8-4 before winning bowl game
8-4 in 2024, sitting at 8-1 now.
He has exceeded my expectations, but my expectations have never been particularly high. I would say he has us tracking about where I thought we would need to be in order to build a contender. Still a bit concerned with the complete egg he seems to lay every year inexcusably, in addition to struggling mightily against Georgia, but he could buck one of those trends this week.
I guess he could still lose to UTEP and meet your expectations.I predicted

That's only happened twice before: 2004 and 1998. That's it. Not that we haven't been competitive, but simply that we didn't play both Florida and Georgia annually prior to 1992. The only other year we played all three before that was 1969, when we beat Alabama and Georgia and lost to Florida in the Gator Bowl.He has the opportunity to hit the trifecta this weekend - FL, AL, and GA something not done in 20+ years
