..and Bama had 6 in 10 years before Saban...so I dont think that counting like that is all that important. Kiffin left so quickly you can hardly call him a coach and Dooley did more damage than I think we still understand. Butch got us back to stability but when you have a shamble program you're not gonna get a big name so he was a good step on the right path. Now we have the ability to get back in the game with a big name again and I believe that.
....surprised to see an LSU fan poking fun at a head coach 'begging' for a job
I honestly think that the hype would not have been as high if Tenn did NOT beat Ga. (my opinion) I think that it lead to the change in our thoughts of how we can handle adversity, considering it was the first time we had trailed in a game that season, prior to the last few mins of a game. I also think that with beating Ga and Mark going to Miami as a result, has pushed us up the chain in thoughts of SEC east champs for 2016, therefore feeding into our Ego and thus leading to Hype-inflation.
I like this take on it. Its true that expectations are high (usually are for us Vols) but for the first time in a long time I have seen guys on the field that believe they can win games, rather than hoping not to be embarrassed. Mindset is everything.
I guess pulling out the win that helped onset the firing of your head coach wasn't enough to earn respect (?)
