Because UT is happy with butts in seats and bowl game. That's the only thing that keeps Jones safe. They have no desire to do what it takes to actually compete with elite programs.
True, after the disaster of the Dooley years and building this team back from terrible academic performance AND the least disciplined football team in the universe (seriously, how??? How did the Doolster go 4-7 in 2012???? With all that offensive talent???) and making Tennessee a player in the national CFB conversation instead of a running joke, it would be shocking to see Currie axe Butch after a 6 or 7 win season in which he lost half a dozen NFL quality starters. But hey, the world turns quickly these days, who knows?
He should be gone. Tried to set the stage to blame Shoop, but Shoop managed to call a decent game.
The only thing this fool does well is find exceptionally good 3 stars, and convince his players to play their ass off for him, even when he doesnt have their back.
Dude, I'm the most adamant orange Julius butch supporter you will find. No coach will survive tonight. I know it's hard to deal with ,and to wrap your head around 5 more years of misery, but the negas won. We are in for 5 more years.
He gets seven wins and a great bowl and the new less demanding VOL fans are pleased.
He's got to fail to get a bowl to be in jeopardy. Just the way it is. Old timers just suck it up.
OP is right. He is safe no matter what. Until upper administration changes, they have shown they a) like Jones and b) dont really care to compete for titles in Athletics.
The fan base is losing their mind for no reason. Have you guys not been paying attention for the last decade?
Seriously, if you guys are going to continue to lower the bar and pretend like Tennessee was never a powerhouse then wtf is the point of investing anymore time into this program
