Okay, so maybe the headline speaks for itself. All teams with losing records are in bad company. But if Tennessee football suffers another one this year, the Vols will be in extremely rare company in school history. And it’s not a club you want to be in.
This is the 10th team in school history to be coming off consecutive losing seasons. The other nine are from just four decades: the 1890s (one), the 1900s (three), the 1910s (three) and this decade, the (three).
So with this being the fourth season in this decade coming off consecutive losing years, there’s enough evidence to already say this is the worst decade in school history unless the Vols somehow win an SEC or national title in 2019, which is highly unlikely.
