Next year

[SmokeyHound]

we win the east.

EVIDENCE: hunter, bray, arnett, patterson, rivera, lane, devrin, junior-filled o-line, aj johson, beast linebackers, more experienced team all around

 

[UTCVol]

Agreed

 

[knoxville's finest]

If...Big if...We have a running game.

 

[champyvol]

don't think so.

 

[AllVols]

It's all we have left. "Next Year"

 

[emzeeee]

I'm tempted to agree... If Dooley doesn't completely melt down and lose this team and fan base.

 

[BJSforVols]

In basketball or what? We're better next year, but not to a point where we win the east. I don't see it. Too many holes on offense and defense.

 

[AcuraGSX]

Or...the excuse of choice will be..."we have an adolescent team. Wait til next year"

Not even close, besides, winning the East is not a championship of any sort.

 

[JAllen18]

There is no reason for us to not win at least 9 games next year.

 

[bleedorange1983]

There is absolutely zero evidence to back that statement up...ZERO.

 

[knoxville's finest]

Unless injuries occur, theres only one hole on offense...zero running game. Defense will be day and night if we land a few more studs on the dine.

 

[Dagreek1998]

Only is changes are made, first one being getting rid of coaches who were hired because of thier last names.

 

[volfan_48]

we win the east.

You're drinking the Kool-Aid. This kind of coaching won't win us anything.

 

[matrosscbc]

We will not win the east. That is absurd

 

[DontCareforAuburn]

Georgia only loses 4 starters and Is filling a ton of holes with this recruiting class. They will be the heavy favorite.

 

[UTK]

Pretty sure we'll have the East in hand if Bray and company can stay healthy. We'd 6-2 right now. *Sigh*

 

[Joe Vols]

For Dooley to win, it is clear he will have to have the most talented team. I don't think we will be the most talented team in the east next year, or the next. We will be looking for a new coach in the next 2 years. JMO

The east sucks.

I say 5-3

If we stay healthy we will win it. We see what happens when Bray goes down. We need a BIG time running back.

 

[govolsgo8]

I'm not sure about that yet but I do think we will look like a totally different team by this time next year

 

[BJSforVols]

Disagree. The running game is more than one hole. Our o line is a hole and our RBs are a hole. That's 6 positions which is more than half of the offense.

2 things regarding your defense comment. #1) That is a big if considering the supply/demand for stud D-Lineman, and #2) Our secondary is average at best and would still be a hole with 2 studs on the D-Line.

 

[Carlitovol]

we simply don't have the depth of playmakers or the big uglies to field an elite SEC team any time in the near future.. them's just the facts

 

[volatil]

University of Next Year, that's what we have been reduced to.
