Butch is an idiot for not playing Peterman.

Please please please go pull for a different team. Everyone has a pathetic minority negative fanbase and I think we have the worst.
Was Butch hired to run the I? No! the only thing thats wrong with the coaching that first half was not pulling Peterman earlier. We have 2 average RB's. a very young WR core, and what looks like a overrated OL (going up against one of the best DL in the county) We have no playmakers or depth.
Peterman should never have started ---- COACHING!
Absolutely stupid playcalling ---- COACHING!
Peterman should have been pulled after two possessions, two turnovers. ---- COACHING!
All of Peterman's bad play is on the coaches. Period. All of it.
Love game day threads.....the real geniuses show up.
This is an embarrassment that I blame on coaching. We don't look prepared or disciplined. We have no game plan. I am embarrassed by this performance.
First -
Starting Peterman was an absolutely terrible decision. And that is not based simply on the result of watching him.
Worley has the benefit of having some degree of experience. In addition, he started the Oregon game on the road. The sole benefit Tennessee has in playing Oregon is experience. And particularly experience at the QB position. So by starting Peterman you effectively neutralize the main advantage you had in playing Oregon in Eugene.
Plus - its either a horrible decision on its face - which it was proven to be, or it was an admission of terrible evaluation of QB talent. Either way - its the fault of coaches.
And do not blame this on the players. In the first half there was definitely no clear talent gap. If anything, it looked to me that Tennessee had better talent.
Plus - why the insistence on passing the ball or running on the edges so much? Our running game was not good tonight, but that is largely because of our reluctance to run between the tackles where we had some degree of success. Constantly running the read option that takes a day and a half to develop and then running to the corners over and over with limited success was so frustrating to watch. Its not as if I am saying that running up the middle every single time would have resulted in a win - but there is no doubt a better commitmment would have helped. And lining up behind the one strength we have - the OL - and hitting holes fast as opposed to the option would have resulted in a btter offensive performance.

All of Volunteer Nation was *****ing about Worley. So Peterman starts and it is the worst decision ever? Good grief .
