If Heupel comes in here and loses 6 or more then the fanbase will be in full revolt. Time will tell.

Losses are never acceptable but UT is coming off a 3 win season. Best thing that can happen is he just wins the games he is supposed to and steals one or two they are not predicted to. I know at this point that sounds like a lot ....

Well, we’ve lost a quarter of the team, are going to be under sanctions, and are installing an entirely new staff / schemes.

I see no reason we shouldn’t go undefeated.

But seriously, I think we could expect a 4-8 to 6-6 type year. Lose more than 8 and yeah, going to be some revolting.

Not going to judge him on the first year. The best I'm hoping for are results building up momentum for year two both on and off the field.

The most important work he will be doing in this first year is off the field. He must repair the damage done to in-state recruiting by the previous head coach. While we don't have the talent other states in the SEC footprint have at their disposal on a yearly basis, there is enough in Tennessee to lay a strong foundation for the necessary work of bringing in talent from outside the state.

JH beat Pitt at UCF. You really think we are gonna be worse than UCF? Based on what other than blind pessimism?
Pitt was better than Tennessee in 2020 and will be in 2021 most likely. I could see Tennessee beating BGSU,South Alabama and Vanderbilt.

If we lose 10 scholarships and have a bowl ban I think the fans will be satisfied with 9 or 10 wins. There's already an effort to get him fired and that will intensify if we don't win the national championship game by more than 10, regardless of whether we are eligible.

Year 1 he gets a pass, but we should win at least 5 games. Vandy is in just as bad shape as we are and the non-conference schedule is pretty easy. But honestly, I think we go 7-5.
