On paper, there is some decent talent leaving the UT program.
That talent was part of a team that netted a 16-21 record over the past three years, so I see it as replaceable considering that Herman has to, in some ways, drain the swamp and bring in HIS players.

Similar to 1994-1995-1996 at OU.
I read and heard that there was a "groundswell" of support for hiring John Blake after Schnellenberger left in 1995...ouch !
If Herman doesn't resurrect UT football by 2019, who will ?
But then, I never thought Tennessee would decline so much, either.
You could put Nebraska in that same bucket. They are in that same cycle. Their moves have really blown up in their face.
Good point.
I don't see Nebraska coming out of its free fall anytime soon as compared to Tennessee and Florida, two teams who are located in a great recruiting area (deep South).
If I'm a top level recruit I would look at Tennessee and Florida hands down over Nebraska. Nebraska now is on the western outskirts of the Big 10 recruiting area and far north of what it once had as a member of the Big12.
