Much like Nebraska, they are utterly dependent on out of state recruiting and therefore they probably have the lowest floor of any of the traditional SEC powers in today's game.


Their fanbase is several orders of magnitude crazier than Nebraska's though, and the Haslam/booster situation has made the job toxic in coaching circles I guess.

This is 100% wrong. The population explosion in Nashville over the last 10 years, combined with the investment in improved high school coaching (especially on the private school circuit) means that UT has the newest, fastest growing recruiting hotbed 3 hours from campus.

Culturally, North GA and Western NC are the exact same as East TN and UT is a lot closer than their respective flagships.
