Mock 2021 schedule

[Border Vol]

That's exactly what he would do

Phil would probably say that a 6-6 2021 season was a nice rebound from a terrible 2020 campaign.

 

[Volfan1000]

I think Tennessee goes 7-5 in 2021 and probably winds up in the Dukes Mayonnaise Bowl.

Where trophies are broken.

But first piss off every fan by trying to hire Schiano. We have the dumbest admin in all of college football.

Literally no one involved in the Schiano deal is still at UT. The irony in these kinds of posts is mind boggling.

 

[tennesseeduke]

There are lots of reasons. The most obvious being the guy running the show.

I hope I’m wrong. I honestly do.

HB at QB now with weapons everywhere

 

[Vol_guy]

4-8

You mix the orange kool-aid. I’ll drink it.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Can't believe people seeing 9 wins in that schedule.

People seeing 9 wins in that schedule.

 

[Orangeslice13]

3-0 going into Florida with everyone in this thread predicting a playoff run

 

[sonofUT62]

Kiffin gonna hang 60 on cornbread and the pruitts in Neyland.

Drink will probably do the same thing at Mizzou now that he’s found a QB. We’re looking at 5-7 next year if we beat Pitt. If not then 4-8 with one SEC win.

 

[VolMarine1371]

No reason not to be at a minimum 9-3 next season.

You think we gonna beat Ole Miss or one fo the Big 3 with this same coaching staff? If Hugh Freeze is the coach 9-3 to 10-2. If Pruitt/Phil and company still here expect 6-6 to 7-5!!

By half time.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

6-6 with a Bowl trip to fun-filled Shreveport.

 

[wmcovol]

We just finished a season where the only game in the last 8 they were competitive in played a girl and you guys think they’re winning 9 games?

You can’t fix stupid. 3-9.

 

[airvols]

Typical Tennessee let’s talk about next year.

 

[Border Vol]

6-6 with a Bowl trip to fun-filled Shreveport.

The Music City or Liberty Bowl would love a 6-6 Tennessee team most likely.

 

[TBvol]

5-7

 

[901 Orange]

Don’t put it past Pruitt to lay an egg in the opener. Butch would go 8-4 minimum against that schedule.

U mean like he did in 2017 when we lost to a 4-7 fla, got beat down by LSU who lost to Troy that year, or 41-0 uga. Matter of fact, didnt he start the 3 game losing streak to Vandy by giving up 40+ 2yrs in a row?? What u meant to say was "DOBBS WOULD BE MINIMUM 8-4 AGAINST THAT SCHEDULE." Botch would be on the sidelines dunking gatorade bottles into the turnover can, & giving out halftime speeches that make ZERO sense smh.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

3 likely wins, 6 likely losses, and 3 toss ups. This staff has a knack for losing a game they should win. Auburn in 18 was only real upset win, which I’d consider an outlier. 5-7.

bbbbbut defense

 

[901 Orange]

4-8. we beat the cupcakes. everyone else pounds us into submission.

based off this year with an all SEC schedule there is no reason to think we cant win 3 SEC games next year. He averages about 3 SEC wins through 3 years so its probable. 3 SEC wins & 2 cupcakes gets ya to 5. Pitt is a toss-up. Vandy & Jr suck worse then we do. That 3rd SEC win could be tricky & it has to come against Mizzou, KY, or Ole Miss. My best guest would be .......
WINS: Bowling Green, Pitt, S. Ala, Vandy, JR, Mizzou, KY
LOSS: Uga, Fla, Bama, Ole Miss

 

[901 Orange]

Don't see a bowl game in our future unless it's another gimme year.

Do people think Kentucky is not blowing us out again? Can't believe people seeing 9 wins in that schedule.

Getting rid of JG automatically makes you 17 points better. Its a new cheat code

 

[901 Orange]

Nothing is gonna feel like we are progressing to being "real" again...or bring up echoes of past glory until we beat Florida and Georgia...at least....and it's funny it was Butch Jones that did that the year prior to him being fired. We were ranked 9th in the country after that. Even this year weren't we ranked 15 th at one point? Yet we keep a guy that took a 15th ranked team and set a record of consecutive double digit losses? What the heck is going on?

Yeah but fla and uga werent what they are now. Botch got 18 games after that #9 ranking and went 9-9. Pruitt is 10-8 in his last 18 games so its not really that much of a difference other then uga & fla being better then they were at the time

 

[PG1]

So game 3 is against an FCS opponent?

 

[Border Vol]

So game 3 is against an FCS opponent?

It probably will be a team like Furman or Kennesaw State.

 

[MWAVolfan]

This is a mock schedule that I made for the 2021 schedule that is based off the original 2020 schedule model. the Pitt game is 10x more important than people think, we win it and we likely start the season 3-0 and head jnto florida game with momentum and Mizzou and Ole Miss look a lot more winnable, we lose and start the season 2-2 then Mizzou/OM look a lot worse and we could start the season 2-5. View attachment 335696

Now here's how its really gonna go down...

Week 1, we inexplicably lose to BG because Pruitt still hasn't decided on JG's replacement both BM and HB look like they haven't taken a snap all summer and the team looks completely unprepared to play football.

The fans calling for JGs head in 2020 say "I told you so"

Week 2, we lose to Pitt on a pick 6 late in the 4th after pissing away chance after chance to open up a lead but we let Pitt hang around and they beat us.

Now pretty much all but the most hopeless fans are calling for CJP to be fired

Week 3, This is the "if Tennessee doesn't blow the doors off of this [insert cupcake here] by 50+ points then the season is over. Tennessee wins by 20 points.

Fans say "you can't judge CJP based on beating an FCS team"

Week 4, we get our annual @ss beating that Pruitt always gets at the hands of Florida.

Pruitt gets fired on the tarmac and is replaced by interim coach Jim Chaney

Tennessee wins 3 of it's remaining games goes 4-8 and hires a new coach that we have to google.

The end.
