Butch getting overlooked..

[bigoleorange]

There's no way Bert B. will be more successful than Butch.

Agreed. I believe the most immediate and profound impact of a coaching change will happen this season in Knoxville.

Misread post.

Based on a poll voted on by fans.

It was a fan poll, so who really cares?

This is a fan vote. Of course the fans are gonna vote for a guy who did good at a school in a "power" conference.

VN's daily dose of "We need something to b!tch about."

Exactly!

That would be the equivalent of someone starting a poll on here and an Arky fan starting a thread just like this because Butch Jones "won".

I agree, but Bielema has a very simple scheme on both sides of the ball. This was how he was so effective at Wisconsin. He is very below average in most coaching areas especially recruiting, but he surrounds himself with a good staff. He will not be nearly as successful at Arkansas as he was at Wisconsin...

 

[Aesius]

Butch will continue to get overlooked until he A) Beats someone noteworthy and B) Brings in a top 10 recruiting class.

I believe both will happen this year.

No one will ever remember this poll existed once they start playing football games

No one will remember this poll by happy hour today.

I'd wager that 6 months ago 90% of VN would have said they'd prefer Bielema over Jones...

I'm certainly rooting for him, though.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Not Bielema-able.
Butch wins this one, thus far.

 

[Spartacavolus]

no way he can get in top recruits without Jay Graham

 

[Vol8188]

He isn't being overlooked by the recruits

Todd Kelly says otherwise.

Alot of free time in AR.. High Unemployement rate

Tennessee travles to Eugene, Gainesville and Tuscaloosa. Georgia and South Carolina visit Neyland. Tennessee will be lucky to go 1-4 in those games. Auburn and Western Kentucky are toss ups at best. We're far less talented than last year. Fortunately, so is Vandy, so there's hope there. None of this is Butch's fault so don't go there.

Arkansas plays Florida, aTm, Alabama, LSU, and South Carolina as the only expected losses. They also get Louisiana, Samford, Rutgers, Southern Miss, Miss St, Ole Miss and Aubie.

I would say at best Jones has equal on field results to Bielema. at worst, he's two-three games worse.

What poll are we talking about again?

Off Season.

TIFWIW - Nothing.

 

[oregonvol]

How about we wait until he actually coaches a game here before we start worrying about whether he's overlooked or underrated?
