Key word in that article is "should". It's just click bait and you fell for it. Yesterday the team was flat. It happens, especially with a big game last week and another one next week. Even the fans were flat. I'm beginning to wonder if Tennessee fans deserve a winning football team. Players are affected by your negativity. When you say you support the team, but not the coaches, you are lying. The coaches are part of the team. Is there a point in a coaching tenure that a change becomes necessary? Yes, it happened here with Bowden Wyatt, Bill Battle, and Derek Dooley. Are we at that point with Butch Jones? Not even close. If you're not on board with this coaching staff, you're part of the problem.

Your points while noble do not reflect the reality of today's landscape of big time college football. Whether we like it or not this is a consumer driven business. If you talk to Bama fans, some will admit that their program was on the brink of losing its fan base in Shula's last year. Many had lost faith that the Bama powers that be could hire a quality head coach. Their management decided that they wouldn't take any less than the best. This was over 11 years ago and the rest is history with numerous SEC and multiple national championships. At one time Tennessee was looked at as a program on par with Alabama. I assure you that is no longer the case. Personally, I believe Jones is not as good a coach as Shula. Even he beat Tennessee a couple of times.

Butch was the right guy at the right time, but he is maxed out at 8-9 wins. Im not a fan of the constant insulting of fans intelligence either. I agree 100% with the article.
While this is 100% true. I'm not sure he would want to risk tarnishing his reputation as an excellent RB coach, in order to coach the entire team. I don't think I would anyway.If we go to an interim coach, there is only one coach on the current staff who is doing an excellent job: Robert Gillespie.
