I don’t think Tennessee is in danger of being Minnesota. They are just too close to talent hot beds and the state of Tennessee has some great talent as well. It just takes the right coach. Time will tell if that’s Pruitt.
Nebraska, however, is in trouble. Tom Osborne may have played the biggest role in their downward spiral, pushing for the move to the Big 10. They had enough going against them with partial qualification and roster size reduction. The cost of a college education these days gutted their walk-on program as well. Then you have the rise of smaller, regional FCS programs that can pick off potential Nebraska walk-ons too. And they no longer have a massive advantage in strength and conditioning they once held.

Nashville's population explosion will help them too

No of course not, but we need to realize this isn't the same "tennessee" that dominated the 90s. They have utterly whiffed on their 3 previous coaches and while pruitt seems to be solid he still hasn't really accomplished much on the actual field yet and doesn't have them anywhere near winning the SEC.
Jim Donnan wasn't really a bad coach, he just had the misfortune of playign spurrier and fulmer eveyr year. Pruitt probably isn't a bad coach he jsut has to play kirby and saban every year.
I don't think Tennessee will ever recapture the 90s. Sure they will be good again because they're too good of a program. They'll probably win a title again at some point. But they'll never have a 7-8 year stretch like they did in the 90s.

That's an extremely nice way of putting it.
