...obviously it didn't make much of a splash with recruits.

No. 96 in the Rivals.com team rankings?!? WTH? Obviously that WILL improve as NSD draws nearer, but even during our darkest hour with Kiffin's dead-of-the-night departure and Dooley's rapid hire, we didn't sink anywhere near that low.

When he left, Muschamp was around 64, so they started in a deep hole to begin with.

I hope they go below 100

Most likely finish between 25-33. They do have some big fish visiting the next few weekends and had a pretty good weekend that just passed. Never count them out with all that talent within a full tank of gas away.

BTW, how is it that we're just a couple weeks out from signing day, and some schools are sitting on just 2 or 3 commits?  How does that even happen?

Derek Dooley is their recruiting consultant?

I don't care what the rankings are, we just need to start beating them regularly, which we haven't in 20 years.

I don't care if they finish behind UConn and Georgia State in recruiting.....until we beat them more than 4 times in 20 years what does it matter.

Well some things have to change if that's going to happen, and having 85 spots between us in the recruiting rankings would be a good start.

Pretty sure that's what Butch is working his tail off to try to do.  You don't go from the mess we were in to winning the east in one year.

If you're not incredibly impressed with the job Butch is doing, I don't know what to tell you.

Where did I say anything about Butch? Was Butch coaching the last 20 years when they were beating us like a rented mule most years?. I've been a Vol fan for 61 years....I know exactly where the program has been and currently is.

When it comes to beating Florida and I don't care who's coaching us.....Show me!

Rest assured I'm just as starved for a win over UF.
