I have talked about the 2021 schedule in other threads before on here. I agree with the OP in the statement that the Pitt game is going to be critical for the possibility of going 8-4 next year, which in my opinion is the best Coach Pruitt and staff can do in 2021. Look at it this way, realistically UT is starting each football season with 3 losses in the L column: Bama, Gators, UGA.. Hate to say that but right now, that's where we are at as a football team. The only sure wins for 2021 in my opinion are Bowling Green, Vandy, South Alabama and whomever the FCS opponent will be. The other 5 games, including Pitt, are all tossups in my opinion, they can go either way. At best, we go 4-1 in those 5 tossup games, and finish 8-4, and Pruitt gets another year, and then he has got to beat one of the Big 3 in 2022. I honestly don't think that will happen in 2021.. I think we probably go 6-6 or have a losing regular season in 2021, and if that happens, Pruitt will be let go after the 2021 season. Naturally, I want to go 12-0 every year but realistically, I think Tennessee fans know where our football program currently is at right now.
