Those are some cute little milestones. Hope somebody in the AD is working on Butch Jones Appreciation Day after all he did for the program.Let's see, how about the hump of 3 straight losing seasons (4 out of 5 before he got here)? The hump of not winning a bowl game. The hump of beating UF. The hump of not even competing for the East since 2007. The hump of terrible APR and finances
The program as a whole is easily better off from a bird's eye view, partly due to Hart as well.
That is one of the concerns of this staff...usually a new staff starts very strong because they can sell the vision without having to show evidence that it works.Butch's top classes had a few things going for them. Legacies, lies, large classes. There were more legacies in those first couple of years than I can ever remember having in such a short span, Butch was a big salesman at that time with everyone believing in his tonic that could cure cancer, remove stains from suits and be used as seasoning on BBQ, an class size made things appear much better than they were.
You will find some on this board that will tell you what they think they know. And if you don't agree with them or even think they may be wrong you will be in denial. Good day and GO VOLS!!!!! The Vols are on the right path back and we have the coach to get it done. We won't get to the top over night but we are going to get there. GBO!!!!!
