Love the optimism but its lacking in reality. This is the first year of a 2-3 year rebuild just to get back to being relevant in the SEC.

I think we're looking at a two year project from a standpoint of being able to be relevant in this league. If this staff recruits and develops players like their track records suggest, we should be a top program from a national perspective by 2020.

That's very optimistic.

If Pruitt is the guy we should be rolling by year three. I think there will definitely be growing pains this first year, but in year two we should be much improved all around. 6, maybe 7 wins this season, followed by a pretty strong 2019 season.

Ok pretty strong, sure but I think it will take more than a year to be nationally competitive.

By year three, if all goes well... could be a big year.

And if this staffs what we think they are, and similar opportunities are presented as they were in 15, and 16, we should be able to take advantage...

To be clear I said this program should be relevant in the SEC in Pruitt's second season. By relevant I mean winning 8 or 9 regular season games and at least competing to win the division. But there really should be no reason why we're not a top program by year three if this group is the group that can get it done.

I guess we're not that far away from each other, just different verbiage.,, so at that point it's semantics...

I look at like this.., could this staff win the fl, OU, and ark games in 15? Or the ATM, USCe, vandy games in 16? Assuming recruiting goes like we hope we could/should have teams that will have similar opportunities in 2-3 years.

So, what do we do when those present themselves? That's what will define this staff

Little doubt in my mind that this staff wouldn't have blown the Florida and Oklahoma games. They won't be tight like the last staff because just about every person on the current staff has won on the highest level. Not much they haven't seen or been able to overcome. If these guys can find a way to get 7 wins out of this group, that's going to tell me a lot about what they can really do. 7-5 to me would mean they got the most out of this team, in a year in which they installed new systems on both sides of the ball with first time coordinators, and head coach.

Maybe I should define what I am saying. I expect us to be back to relevance in year 2 (competing in the SEC) and back to the old tennessee in year 3....

Not to beat a dead horse, but most 13 year olds who play Madden on a semi-regular basis wouldn't have blown those games.
