Next Year's Record

[monk91384]

Love It

I predict we have a great season but fall short in some games . The strength and conditioning program will pay dividends to the team next year . 7-5 oh and we stomp vandy

 

[gemlek]

Who cares! Apathy has firmly set in

 

[james_govols]

We have an easier schedule next year so probably 6-6 or 7-5.

 

[Vols1891]

With top coaches, year 2 is typically where you see the biggest jump (Kirby Smart and Saban for example). If Pruitt is going to be the guy to lead us to the promised land, I would expect at least 9 wins next year. He could still turn out to be a real good coach even if that doesn’t happen. But if he’s actually elite, we should be much better next year and at least competitive in every game.

I think the offensive line will be greatly improved if we land Wanya Morris and Darnell Wright

I wish I believed that.

 

[Catbone]

6-6

 

[joevol33]

5-7 again.

We lose playmakers on our D and JG will still be QB

My vote here also.

 

[mpfvol]

6-6 Vandy will have no Shumer, Mizzo no Lock , KY loses alot of People , then win 3 non conference .

 

[Power T-Rev]

I wish I believed that.

I mean, how can it not. They're already better than everyone of our offensive linemen, save Trey Smith

 

[Cartervol]

5-7 again.

We have playmakers on D? I didn't see any other than Taylor who is back.

Playmakers? Lol

Because you need an entire unit that is competent and works together. An o line is really only marginally better than its weakest link.

 

[Through_The_T]

Agree with others. It comes down to NSD and immediate impact recruits.

 

[tommydin]

15-0 with another National Championship. You heard it right here first!

I didn't know they had fantasy football for college football!!

 

[JCHateSteve]

I'm gonna go 6-6 due to the easier schedule and the hope that Pruitt will at least leave us better than he found us, if nothing else. I reserve the right to change my mind after signing day.

 

[Cartervol]

Not much better than this year's.

 

[bbeacham]

We are in desperate need of players, who aren't candy asses. Now, we simply have too many candy asses to be anything resembling a good football team. Tennessee could not stop a runny nose today!

It's the power of positive thinking! You've got to believe it to achieve it!

Losing players from this squad is best news I’ve heard all day.

You're probably right lol.

 

[zeppelin128]

We are like that hot person you date for a while that is batshit insane. Anything from 4 to 8 wins wouldn't surprise me.
After getting our ass beat by Vandy today I'm leaning toward 4 wins. But by Summer I'll have convinced myself that we win 8. Such is the life of being a Vol fan.

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Looking at the schedule I cant see anything leads me to believe it will be any better and possibly worse.

Hope I'm wrong but will say 5-7 with conference wins over Kentucky and Vandy and a loss to either BYU or UAB.

Too bad we have a 25 rule. We need to manipulate that as much as possible. We need as much turnover as we can get in short order.

 

[utvols74]

I say UT forfeit the season in the name of "rebuilding". They can still get the SEC's portion of TV revenue.

So...0-12

 

[Exiled]

Bunch of pansies in here. At least 8-4. 9-4 with bowl win.
