Last 10 years lowest ranking was 21 twice , highest is # 5 twice. Several times we were ahead of Clemson. So for those that argue we don’t have the talent that’s bullsh**. Tennessee has been able to recruit at a high level despite a coaching carousel and multiple losing seasons( didn’t think I would ever type that) . We need a real head coach. There has to be a face to our program again. Someone who can calm down the panic and get these talented young men to believe in themselves and play for each other. Pruitt might me a defensive genius but he is not HC material and I’m not sure we can afford much more before our recruits exit stage left like a lot of fans are doing now.

Just told my husband that, it’s the development of the talent that is kicking us in the teeth. I know that occasionally you have overrated players and busts, but we are totally under developing the talent we do have.

So underdeveloped upperclassmen playing with true freshmen and sophomores seems like a good combo

Straight up... If I had a son who was being recruited to play football... I would highly highly encourage him not to come here. We are where highly rated recruits go to never be heard from again.

We are the school that made one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL look like a third round pick.

The point is they are ALL under developed. Our coaching staff is not in any way doing a good job of developing talent. The majority of them reach their ceiling when they arrive and then regress. Our games look like a middle school team scrimmaging a high school.

But but but.......Tennessee needs more talent.

But but but Tennessee needs more time.

Heck it could be top 50 classes, and that should be enough to beat Georgia State & BYU.

Look at players like Callaway would you say has developed since last season? Would you say Guarantano has developed more since last season?

Hard for someone like Callaway and Wood-Anderson to develop when you don’t have a QB to throw to them.

Which sucks because we are essentially throwing away Jennings, Callaway, and Wood Anderson so we can ride out with JG

As good as our recruiting has been, I think Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Auburn and maybe a couple others in the SEC has been even better over the past 4 years. Compared to other SEC schools we are mid tier when it comes to recruiting. No excuse for our lackluster play though.

Touché, but look at the special teams even. It’s rare I see Callaway even attempt to take a chance and return anything. I think they are mentally under developed as well, which mostly leads back to Butch and the culture right now unfortunately.

2016# Alabama 1, LSU 5, Oke Miss 7, Auburn 8, Georgia 9 Florida 14
2017: Bama 1, Georgia 3, LSU 8, Florida 9, Tamu
10, Auburn 14
2018: Georgia 1, bama 7, Auburn 12, LSU 14,
Tamu 16, Florida 17, usc 18
2019: Georgia 1, bama 2 , LSU 3, tamu 5, Florida 8,
There is no reason we’re that far behind those schools in performance

Neither have improved , I have watched several freshmen QB's that look way more poised and experienced than JG he is a liability for this team...…..Yes I know he
doesn't play defense they are so unprepared by this multi Million $$ coaching staff.....
