The problem is we don't get to hear from the coaches when commits happen. How often has Butch dropped a kid when he has tweeted something good cryptic after a commitment. It's almost always the ones that come out of the blue and we never hear about how "Coach Jones said I made his day" or see a "#EL17E" tweet from Butch that get dropped later. So who is to say his commitment was ever really official in the first place. I don't doubt that some kids have been dropped and maybe some were done wrong in one way or another. The problem is we never know the whole story so dumping on the coaching staff is a little unfair. Those coaches spend hundreds and thousands of hours building relationships with these kids. That is something most of us will never understand.
Name one CBJ worshiper in the RF. Seriously, name one that truly worships CBJ. Opinions on CBJ vary a great deal in the RF, but I can honestly say I don't think anyone here blindly worships him. He's got a lot of mistakes to fix and I think most if not all agree on that.
There is a huge difference in worshiping Butch and arguing the stupidity of someones (not saying you, just a lot of what gets read in here) post/opinion.
We should have gave Dooley more time huh? Should have gave him more time to fix this thing lol
My thing is......ppl take side of coaches.taking commits of lesser talent and calls out the critical fan.......
and are silent when coaches ignore these same cruits or give them "git shirts"
That is hypocritical imo
That's my point
Ppl are quick to blame a fan but not the one gettin paid millions. Lol silly
The ones that bash fans for criticizing coaches taking lesser talent commits. Go back and look in these 2/3* threads and you will see who
It is ok to criticize coaches but CBJ is still the coach. You either want him to win or want him to lose. He coaches them Vols, so I want him to win. I don't care if he spouts cliches and coachspeak until the fans' heads explode. I want him to win until the day he is no longer the coach.

I read about 90% of the recruit threads (probably less since the influx of TonyB's threads) and will say IMO most of the bashing that goes on is due to the stupidness of what an individual is saying, not that they are criticizing the coaches. Starting a post off with such gems as 3* U is asking for negative attention.
I think pretty much everyone in the RF has criticized the coaches (myself included) in some way or another. It's how you do it that causes backlash instead of discussion.
Once again...I don't know if you are one of the ones that feels they get bashed or you're just taking up for them.
My suggestion to whoever it is...try thinking before you post. We actually love good discussion over here and would love for there to be more of it, but don't come in here spewing nonsense and expect it to turn into good discussion.
