Tennessee Football: Outback Bowl Predictions
After a slow start to the season, the Tennessee football team won their last 5 to secure a chance at their first 9 win season since 2006.
For a program that is as rich in tradition and resources like The University of Tennessee, 9 win season are supposed to be commonplace. Instead, though, the Tennessee football program has floundered in irrelevance since Phillip Fulmer agreed to step away after the 2008 season.
Lane Kiffin nearly set fire to Knoxville after one year on the job and a 7-6 record.
Tennessee football made a safe hire next, going with Derek Dooley. It didn’t pay off. Dooley won 15 games in his 3 seasons as the Volunteer’s head coach.
