I know we are 3-7 and it could get worse. I just think we have talent in house. We just don't have the staff to coach em up or put them on the field. I fell like we need to bring in a great coaching mind that is a good motivator. In 05 we were 5-6 then 9-4 the next year. And that was with imo lesser coaching ability than the names floating around. I think every single one of the "names" could come in and win 7-10 games next year easy. That's why imo Tennessee is a great job because the next coach doesn't have to rebuild. :popcorn:

I agreed with you six or seven weeks ago. Now I have my doubts.

Who is taking the snaps in your 10 win world?

Tajh Boyd!!!

But seriously, we can not honestly expect Alabama-type results. Alabama had to rebuild for 15 years before Saban. Nebraska has been rebuilding for 5 years, and Notre Dame has been "rebuilding" for 20 years.

Well that was my high end win total and i still don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. Look at 05 to 06 same qb just different coach. That worked out pretty well.:salute:

You're right that the new coach won't need to completely rebuild from a talent perspective. What he must rebuild is the players' confidence in the coaching staff.

It's obvious this team never bought into Clawson's offense. That falls on him and Fulmer. The team must believe in the system, whatever it is.

I'd love for it to happen. Don't see UT getting too much out of the QBs I've seen this year.

I beleive that we do have a QB in the stable that can lead on the field and do very well. He will just need the proper motivation and guidance.

Well with the talent we have what kind of win total could a good coach have next year??

Between the QB performance this year and the OL's performance the last few years 7 wins would probably be the max.

With drastic improvement in both areas it could be better.

Hard to imagine much better than that with Crompton or Stephens. I am on the record saying that our execution has been so poor that it is hard to judge the talent we have.

How long should the next coach have to "rebuild"? What would you consider as the yardstick in that time frame for him to be a success or failure max. and min.?

2 losing seasons in 4 years, the last season probably 3-9 or 4-8. I think that qualifies UT has a rebuilding job.

Initially (for the first two years anyway) my measuring stick will based on improvement between games. By the third year I will pay much closer attention to the W/L total.

If the team is not showing improvement between games then 3 years is about all I'm willing to experiment with.

I think we would all agree that is the fault of bad or complacent coaching. If we had any kind of O. at all with our D. this could be a very different season. We will still have a good D. next year if our next coach could get us up to 21+ ppg we will be ok. :eek:k:

I expect this from you lexy and I agree with you, but I fear the majority of our fanbase won't have this kind of patience. That could lead to short term should the coach struggle the first two years. Especially if a former or current NFL guy isn't the man in charge.

I agree 100%. With the right hire, we should be competing for the east again next year. There's no reason the east shouldn't get back to normal next year as long as the correct hire is made in that FL, GA, and UT are the top three spots. The order of these top three will be determined by the games amongst these three for the most part.
