Who is the Ovie guy on SEC Gridiron Live? Guess he took Charles Davis's spot.

Picked Vandy saying they had a better quarterback and better coach.

Jury is out on the quarterback for the long run, but Jones is 1-0 against Franklin and has been here less than a year. Yes, Franklin has been a good x and os coach for Vandy and recruited better than predecessors but don't see how you make a blanket statement he is a better coach than Jones. He has no conf championships, no 10 win seasons, has only been a HC for 3 years vs 7 etc. Seems like an assanine thing to say this year. A year or two from now we will know who can do less with more and build better relative to their school and program. Seemed like a stupid, unjustified reason. And I am only partial Butch/not full Butch yet, just seemed not based in fact

It's an opinion.

I'm pretty sure if Franklin coached in the MAC he'd a conf. title or 2. Can't really compare that to the SEC. Just like Jones' conf. title last year where half the league won the conf. title.

Valid points, I am really trying to be unbiased and look at it from a neutral POV though and don't really see where anyone could say either Coach is a better coach in the SEC, against each other, right now with credibility

Edit: and the fact he hasn't coached in the MAC or Big East and proved he can win there (he prob could but hasn't done it) is kind of my point. Don't have as long a head coaching history to show he can win at places. Again, truly don't think you can say one is better than other right now

I tend to agree with you. I think most people from around the country only know Vandy as a 3-5 win team and typically a doormat in the SEC. So a coach comes along and has them winning 8-9 games and goes to 3 straight bowl games it's only natural to assume the guy can coach.

Exsqueeze me, but this is a totally biased Tennessee web message board. Let's keep that clear. :p

Yeah, may be what it is and, in fairness, it is at least a decent coaching job to do that at a place like Vandy.

Really hater?
The one thing I take from Butch's coaching record in conference play is he flat out finds how to beat his conference opponents. It make take a few recruiting classes to dominate them but he has proven he figures out how to get it done in conference play. In this league that will lead to great things.

In a perfect world we have a 27-17 lead with the ball. It is 4th down at the 3 yd. line with 9 seconds left. All we have to do is take a knee but Dobbs goes back and throws a TD to North. We win 34-17 and Frankling has a meltdown for doing the same the he did to Kentucky last week. It would be a karma moment for him.
