In each of the last two seasons Butch has had a winning percentage greater than the winning percentage over the history of the TN football program. I point this out not because I'm satisfied with Butch. I point this out to counter the idiot Nega Vols that don't understand actual facts.
Injuries didn't cause SC and Vandy. Butch Jones chokes every year. Keep telling yourself all those things to keep the faith in saint Butch.
We pulled 20% of five stars Saban did, he's only getting 5. Not like they are falling from trees, same for 4 stars of which we have 4. If he averages that over 4 years you end up with four 5 stars, and sixteen 4 stars which is almost a full 22 team complement. Not bad if you get a couple of 3 stars like a Cam Sutton playing with those 5 and 4 stars. Granted he's not recruiting like Saban but who the hell else is??Getting killed on the recruiting trail
I remember back in 2013, the excuses for Butch was "he didn't have enough talent. We recruited too many 3 stars under Dooley"
2017 Class is at 27 commits right now
5*- 1
4*- 4
3*- 22
81% of your class is made up of 3* players

You need to go back and watch his face during the Vandy game. Honestly, he looked clueless.What do you mean chokes? Didn't look like a dear in the headlights to me. Made decisions when they needed to be made. He should have bounced Hurd before the game but hindsight is always 20/20. Given all the problems with players and staff a 9 win season was ok. Looks like Butch is pushing the correct buttons to make improvements.
You can make statistics say whatever you want based on the sample size.
Butch is 1-0 and Saban is 0-1. Butch > Saban???
That's a 9 win season. Every year. :whistling:

Saban's record is not 119-19 is it? I'm assuming that only includes his coaching years at Bama, yeah?You can indeed.....
Saban is 119-19 with 5 national titles
Butch is 80-48 with a few bowl wins and shared minor conference titles. Thinking these statistics give a little better snapshot of the two coaches.
"what I am most impressed with is the quality of young men Butch is recruiting."
Hmmmmm, could CBJ be following in the steps of CPF?? Great recruiter. Average field General?
