Staff upgrades can get this done

If I see it with CBJ... I will.believe it. But I just think he gets in the way too much.

I guess all of you are content with Max 8 win seasons and losing to Vanderbilt and south Carolina.

If it happens again next year, you will see that almost all of us are not content with it. We were not content with it this year, but this is the first year that we have taken a step back (not a major one, but a step back) since Butch has been here. Most of us are hopeful it is a minor setback and that he has not hit his ceiling. I am really puzzled why that is so difficult for you and others to understand.

Whoever believes that pitch is an idiot and we wouldn't want them if that stupid

You must not spend a lot of time around teenagers and their families, then.

Really? We had no idea you felt this way.

Obviously my standards are higher if you're okay with us having mediocre coaches. The best thing Butch can do is ditch most of his assistants and bring in new ones. But he has shown he's stubborn already so he probably won't and that may end up being what gets him fired.

Whining that things aren't perfect yet isn't "high standards." It is immaturity.

First of all, it's not that far-fetched. If UT flames out this year, there's more than likely going to be a change. However, f UT goes 8-4 again with wins over UF and UGA, then the new AD is going to have a difficult decision.

Second, recruiters are talking to 17/18-year old kids. Most teenagers are not known for their critical thinking skills.

I'm not huge fan of butch but I agree. He needs upgrade Oc and several assistants and let theme run things and he just oversee.if he doesn't my opinion he won't make it after next year. Maybe that why he might be after helfrich. He can cut him and shoop lose.

 

[wmcovol]

I understand it would have been better but not drastically.

Idiotic fan speculation on CBJ being gone after next yr is what is impacting recruiting. That is what rival coaches are selling.

Thinking Tennessee "is going to have a hard decision to make" if they go 8-4 next yr is stupidtalk. Tenn just finished paying off Dooley, they are NOTgonna start a new 4 yr payoff with Jones regardless of the record.

Well shucks, I didn't know that a member of the UT AD posted here.

If Butch goes 8-4 next year and doesnt get fired, then we can just go ahead and call the new AD a lame duck AD.

Ehhh... firing at 8-4 is pushing it. He will have his whole new QB excuse going for him

UT will have a hard decision to make if he goes 8-4, IMO


But it will be more about whether or not to extend him and by how much, not about firing him.

Since 1999, we have won more than 8 games 8 times. Butch has 2 of those seasons. In the last 10
Years, we have had 5 winning seasons. Butch has 3 of those. You're an idiot.

And that will destroy recruiting

 

[Vol Main]

I was in the Orange Bowl when Nebraska beat us like a tom tom drum. So I particularly enjoyed the MCB and hope guys like YC might give UT another look. Go Volunteers!!! Yahoo!!!!!

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

You mean the AD deciding whether or not to extend him and by how much?

It will get done one way or another and recruits will pay much more attention to how the team looks on the field and how we did in the draft in 2017.

Context will be very important. If the team plays solid ball all season but just doesn't have any bounces go their way for whatever reason, I doubt it would matter that much.

Auburn is in that position right now and sitting on a nice recruiting class because, despite being 8-4, they've looked pretty good for the most part this year.

Correct

Remember when we all said we would never take winning seasons for granted again during the Dooley years?...

I agree. IMO, CBJ's future at UT will be decided by far many more factors than an arbitrary W/L benchmark assigned by message board posters no matter how much I respect their opinions.

Firing of head coaches always comes down to a business decision. They fire them when it becomes cheaper than keeping them. If people are still supporting the program financially through ticket sales, donations etc. the team could go 4-8 and they'd keep him. It's always a financial decision.

Was Mark Richt and Les Miles costing their program that much money winning 8+ every year when they were fired?

I was talking about Tennessee.

Oh ok. Well that's a big big problem then. We aren't that serious about winning it sounds like.
