Can the guy really believe everything he is saying..

Yes his has made a huge improvement with academics and the culture of the program..Cleaning it up he has done a great job...

But as far as winning games he has taken baby steps and has not learned how to win in 5 years....

I like the guy..He has been great at cleaning the program up but winning is what we want to see now and should be on year 5..
I really wish him all the luck at his next stop and hope he figures it out..

P.S. I really believe he is talking all this up now trying to save his job...
IT IS TOOOOO LATE....

I see some posters on here think I am hating on Butch but if you read I said I like Butch and he has put us in a better place..He just can not win the dang games..

I think he's doing it to put it out there for future employment. He isn't saving his job.

He may think that...but this is the list I see..

Longest active streak of quarters without a TD
First shutout since 1994
Worst home loss since 1905
Allowd Vandy most points against SEC opponent since 1971
Allowed Vandy most yards (608) in the 100 year rivalry
2-2 against Vandy
10-13 in one possession games (10th best % in SEC)
0-12 against top 10 teams (giving up 40 or more points in 8 of those games)
Gave up 400+ yards in 7 2016 games (2nd worst team defense in school history)
Most yards given up on conference play in school history (2016)
Lost to South Carolina twice off a Bye week.

Even if Butch correct in saying this. You don't get brownie points for doing what you're suppose to do, so why even bother to say it.

CBJ has done very good in alot of areas.

I completely agree. He's a great recruiter...just lacks something in the coaching department that has not been fixed in five years. Maybe it's the ability to evaluate staff effectively. I am not expert, but his statistics are pretty bad.

Yep, that's very underwhelming.

Amen to this. How soon we forget. Butch turned this program around, period, and got it headed in the right direction. Yes, he has hit his ceiling at UT and it's time to go, but let's give credit where it is due.

Juveniles and drunks, flame away...:p
