First-year head coach Josh Heupel has a lot to deal with in the Tennessee football program right now beyond just a coaching change. He has lost a wave of elite players to other schools, is coming off a 3-7 season and needing to start a new quarterback and still has the NCAA investigation hanging over him.
However, if you look at the talent on the team alone and the schedule coming up this year, it’s pretty clear the Vols have a path to six wins.
