All schools take their lumps, were still taking ours like some others such as Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami, we'll be back someday but im tired of waiting too.[/QUOTE
I'm afraid I won't see that day at the rate they are going. 15+ years, 4 coaches, and an infinity of excuses later and we still have no clue how to win. I lived through the 90's during our great years and we were a team that was feared. HS kids knew who TN was and wanted to be a part of that but not so much now. We are just another middle of the road school with a dedicated fanbase and awesome campus. I'm not sure we can sell the "winning tradition" anymore and the "power T" doesn't mean near as much to kids now as it does to the older generation.

They are a terribly coached football program and an AD with his football mentality stuck in 1999.

Tennessee Vols are worried when Saban retires, the Gumps will poach Pruitt.
Oh wait that was a 2017 thread.

Remember when those same fans were worried UGA would come after Dooley (DEREK) and UM would "steal" Butch from UT? LOL

I lived thru it too but i refuse to accept or believe that a school with the facilities and support that Tennessee has cannot right the ship, even Alabama went thru a rough time before lucking up and hiring Saban, if Clemson can do it we can do it, all it takes is the right coach and right situation.

Take Neyland and Fulmer out of the equation and the vols are an average team. 1998 was 22 years ago. We make fun of UGA and 1980, 40 years ago, historically we are average without two all time great coaches and those of us spending our adolescent years during the golden era of modern vols football 90-03-ish.....we were spoiled with false expectations. Unless we stumble into a Hall of Fame coach I am not sure we ever get there again in the next 10+ years. I know I must be great at parties. Take the wins and take the losses as they come and if good times come make sure to enjoy while they last. Sorry Mr. Positive here but man been a long 15 years.

We have losing records against Bama, Auburn, Florida and Georgia. No longer elite, or a tier 1 program. Not even a tier 2 program, consistently.

Who were The Tennessee Vols? A team full of great athletes, with depth, size and speed, everywhere. A team that could beat anyone, anytime, anywhere. A team that sent multitudes of players to the next level. A team that you knew, getting off the bus, that you were going to have to earn every yard, every point, and would never stop coming at you, for 60 minutes. A team that put immense stress on you, at every level of play. A team that thrived on pressure and excitement, and beat you with big plays on offense, defense and special teams. Led by VFL's at every coaching slot.

Who are The Tennessee Vols? None of the above
