I don't know. Heard that there's a shortage of couches.

The only reason you saw Pig Howard get the ball on end arounds is because he was our only legitimate threat on the outside running the ball. We were trying to put the ball in a playmaker's hands, and he plays WR and not RB. That is the only thing that I can think of that you are reffering to. Our playmaking ability was limited, and it is funny that we ran that play with Pig and CP under Chaney's pro style offense.

Just like everything, of course, there are modified versions of the spread. But, it is essentially the same goal: to get skilled players in space. But you inferred that any spread could not be run in the SEC. Simply not true.

Where on earth did I infer any such thing? Seems like you're reaching to construe things I didn't say just so you can argue against it. Same old strawman tactics, I guess.

And you really think the end arounds were the only times we tried to run towards the edge? Really? You never saw Neal or Lane trying to go around tackle instead of trying to go upfield?

Apparently many on VN feel that the only way to be successful is to keep hiring and firing until the right one is found.

I agree with you. We need some stability and continuity and that is not achieved by replacing staff all the time.

And if ANYONE had expected an SEC championship then you'd have a point. Seeing that most were only looking for 6 wins and a bowl... you have no point. If well coached, this was a 7 win roster. With avg coaching, it was a six win roster. Five wins is simply subpar.

We finished as expected...so say what you want hater but we ended up where the experts figured we would. 5-7 or 6-6....we were inches away from 6-6. It happens...it is why the game is played...sucks but if the truth hurts say ouch.

2013 SEC preseason poll picks Alabama over Georgia, announces All-SEC teams - SBNation.com
Alabama, Texas A&M lead 2013 SEC conference preview - College Football - Andy Staples - SI.com

Not quite. It proves that the unique situations he inherited at Cincy and CMU went well. He followed Kelly at both places. Neither place offered the level of competition the SEC does.

If Butch and his staff are so bad then why didn't they continue to be 4-8 in his second year and not 10-3 like they finished? With your thought process his teams should have been 4-8 the next season. What more proof of coaching do you need? The end result is what it is. Your dislike and hate can't change facts guy. Solid coaching makes a 4-8 squad better....let alone 10-3 the next year...that is pure proof of coaching...doesn't get any better....doesn't matter what league or conference it is. Coaching up players is coaching up players...and that record ends up defining you.

His recruiting is exceptional but to keep it up he has to show something on the field starting next fall. He can't keep getting blown out and losing to the likes of Vandy. If he doesn't, recruiting will dry up.

Vandy ain't Vandy anymore as long as Franklin is there...everyone realizes that now. But Vandy ain't Tennessee either so I think we will be just fine when it comes to who can sell what to a recruit each year.

I would rather BG take Bajakian off of our hands than to try and take Thigpen. Nobody takes Thig away from us.:)

That being said, I have mixed feelings on the subject. Would like to see the same coaching staff for at least 2 years and him have better athletes to work with.

If it means losing the likes of Hurd, Malone, Pearson and other recruits then HELL NO I don't want him to go, but if we were not to lose any recruits....well maybe it wouldn't be to bad, with our recruiting list we could probably land a pretty good OC.

Mostly indifferent on whether Bajakian stays. I'm not crazy about our offensive philosophy or play calling. On the margin, I guess I'd side with him sticking around for continuity's sake ....

BUT ... I wouldn't give him a big fat raise just to keep him.

We shouldn't give out a single raise until we hit at least 7 wins.

Alright so to avoid the labor of filtering through these posts . . .

Is Bajakian considered a realistic candidate? Seems like it would be an unusual hire on the part of Bowling Green.

A lot of schools like Bowling Green make hires like that because they don't pay well. Claw was making 400k there. Steve Adazzio comes to mind being hired by Temple after he was considered a garbage OC at Florida.

I think if Bajakian goes its because he might have had interest in being a HC still at Cincy. Before TN offered, he may have/not have gone to Colorado

While I wouldnt be upset if GQ was hired at Tennessee I dont think it would ever happen. The man can flat out coach it doesnt matter what level you do it at if you can you can if you cant you cant and he clearly can. Maybe he will get a shot one day, didnt fulmer try to bring him on as TE coach and he turned it down? Someone refresh my memory on that
