Tennessee would give up its checkerboard end zones to be Michigan right now.
Their roster is barren.
They just had 2 players drafted, one of which was a 5* who didn't get picked until the 6th round.
Light-years behind Florida and Georgia, they've fallen behind Kentucky as a football program. They're probably on par with Missouri and above only South Carolina and Vanderbilt. Sadly, they're 4th in the weaker of the two divisions in the SEC, which means they're lower than 8th overall in the conference.
Their new HC got worse each year at UCF: 12-1, 10-3, 6-4.
They're facing some sort of penalty from the NCAA.

The Vols are a train wreck on top of a dumpster fire.
