After that it was hot garbage. All those guys got hurt/dismisses and we were left with hot garbage down the stretch of 2016.

Those four weren’t good enough to do what this board had convinced itself was to be expected for the 2016 vols.

If you’re talking making the playoffs, I agree

If you’re talking not being good enough to win the East, I disagree.
 
Just get to and win the bowl game, thats all I want this year. All good coaches make a year 2 jump so lets wait till then to start predicting 9, 10 wins.

9 or 10 wins will probably be my expectation for year two. Win 6 or 7 this first year, look like a well coached football team, sign a top ten class, and I'm straight.
 
Favorite John Ward game: 1991 Miracle at South Bend

Fond memories of that game. The angry lows and the highest of highs. All capped by John’s call. Ah the days of turning down the TV and turning up the radio. Those days are gone and never to return. Losing John today makes those days seem farther away, but it will never take away the fond memories.

Let's just rename the thread to "Chief and Ziti know it all thread."

I will let them tout themselves and move to another one.

You think this board was hoping to win the east in 2016 when I was going on multiple day arguments with the board about our DT’s?

I belive many on the board had the expectation of winning the East.

I think you arguing for days with a couple posters is a different story and might be why you think the consensus was higher. I don’t remember it that way

Ha chief is totally me from a few years ago

"But, but Dave Doeren just put one hell of a defense on the field this past year. Can you say 85 Bears?" "But Mike Leach is a pirate yo." "This dude's offense is unstoppable, little Nicky won't know what hit him." "Who cares about stars? I trust the evaluations of Leach/Doeren over some stupid recruiting service. Never mind the fact that we beat out Harvard and Mercer for this stud." So on and so forth.
 
I'd have scaled back with Dave Doeren no doubt. But your Swansons of the world would have already created gifs of him dancing towards a national championship sign every time we landed a 3 star recruit that we beat Ohio and San Jose State out for
