Postgame Podcast: Where does Tennessee go after embarrassing home loss to Vanderbilt?

GoVols247's Patrick Brown and Ryan Callahan assess what went wrong for Tennessee in its embarrassing 45-24 home loss to Vanderbilt to conclude the regular season and where Josh Heupel and the Vols go after an 8-4 season in 2025.

Yes, there's a bowl game still to play, but Tennessee enters offseason mode this week and will need to make some changes after failing to beat any ranked opponents and losing three homes games this season.

How will Heupel address the regression on defense? What does the roster decision-making process look like? Are there other areas that the program must address to perform better with the nine-game SEC schedule coming in 2026?

We focused on the big-picture discussion in our postgame podcast from the visitor coaching booth at Neyland Stadium on Saturday night.
