Damn, leave the poor bastard alone already. He was a terrible hire who is long gone.
At what point do we move on and just forget that decade and a half, except for memories of Dobbs, Jennings, etc.? I know I have.
HIS NAME IS LYLE and he played THE FLUTE*We’ve moved on but this is a message board on Tennessee football. Butch is going to come up from time to time… related to the negative vibes, he did a lot of it to himself by taking that coffee runner job to Saban.
Pruitt had Bama DNA. You could see it at his welcome aboard presser. Ask yourself if you could ever go and coach at Bama and have your heart 100% into it. I know damned well I couldn't.Exactly. Of the 4 (Kiffin, Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt), he's the one I'm least likely to root for.
Dooley wasn't a bad guy - he just sucked as a head coach.
Pruitt was more well-meaning than people give him credit for - he just had a dinosaur offense and wasn't as good as Saban and Kirby at cheating.
And Kiffin made a mistake and acknowledges it.
Butch is a snake-oil salesman, plain and simple.
