What could have been...6-6 bowl game

[hog88]

Now that our original SEC schedule is complete. If COVID had not derailed the college football season then the Vols would have been 6-6 and 3-5 in the SEC and I don't think everyone would be freaking out about Pruitt. JMO ...GBO!

You think 6-6 and 3-5 in the SEC is acceptable for a 3rd year coach?

Who would have the losses been to in your opinion ?

Playing the what if game, any single one of them. We were blown out by Kentucky and lost to an Arkansas team that we should have outclassed. Any game is a potential loss as Pruitt has shown us over the years.

Go back to the original schedule before COVID changed it.

We wouldn't have played Auburn and TX AM.
Our 4 OOC games we more than likely would have gone 3-1 losing to Oklahoma.

JMO...no 6-6 isn't great, much better than 3-7 but when we change coaches every 3 years that is what we get.

GBO!

Who do we lose to?

Depends on the development of the talent and expectations in year 4.

Edit: and Schedule.

Wait... didn't we have OU on schedule? Where are you getting 6 wins?

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

I see now.

Obviously your expectations are extremely low

I’m going to have to see what the schedule was and then evaluate what we would have done with 1) JG then 2) HB. Obviously HB would have been better in game 1 than JG if Pruitt had handled HB’s development correctly.

It depends on nothing. 6-6 in his 3rd season is not acceptable in any case at UT.

I don’t think all our fans are dumb but some are certainly lying to themselves. Arkansas was 2-10 last year. They have less talent, they have a new coach, they have a new system, they are much improved. Tennessee is worse this year than last and got destroyed by that team.

6-6 in year 3 after a raise and extension?
I think fanbase would still be pissed.
