It was the worst season in Tennessee football history on paper. But just looking at that does not tell the whole story of how crazy the 2017 year was.
There are a ton of bad memories from what happened. Everything that went on during the year may make fans forget how it all started. It didn’t have to be this bad when Tennessee football entered the year with a Top 25 ranking and a Top 5 recruiting class set to come in next year.
All the offseason staff changes, everybody healthy, a new quarterback and a new strength coach had everybody hoping that things could continue to go up for the program.
