Jones must narrow the gap between UT and the rest of the SEC. Last week, the gap widened. AL, LSU, GA, FL, USC, TAM, VU, Ole Miss, Auburn - all have considerably more talent on hand than the Vols. Jones must close the talent gap immediately or he is doomed to fail. The competition is not stagnant. All the aforementioned schools are upping the game now - every year. Jones must leapfrog several SEC schools for multiple successive years in recruiting for the Vols to compete for an SEC championship - not an easy task. Let's give him support, he will need it.

You nailed it. We lost ground every year Dooley was here. If UT is ever to be relevant again, it has to have several good recruiting years.
