Kiffin's firing should send a signal to Butch about...

[WoodsmanVol]

Lane Kiffin's firing has absolutely nothing to do with your coach. It does not send some magical symbol with deep hidden meaning.

It took an Aggies to inject some sense into this thread. No matter, you got a LIKE from me. I just hate cotton brain thinking.

Kiffin "was sad and completely caught off guard"..

....about the current recruiting class (and beyond). The losses USC experienced has caused recruits to drop like flies. To keep this (UT) class fairly intact and/or build on it, he and the staff are going to HAVE to work some magic these next few weeks, and beat expectations....which are lower now than they were before we started losing.

You can sell only so many promises. Many will want to see SOME tangible improvement on in this team, and right now, there doesn't appear to be any, except on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm hoping against hope that Worley can have a breakout game against UGA like Crompton did a few years ago, but I'm not counting on it. Not playing one of the freshman, at all...doesn't show recruits...especially the receivers, that there is much hope for the future. So, he REALLY needs to show something there...going to HAVE to burn one of their redshirts to do that.

The faildozer needs to smash this thread.

I hope y'all take down the corn dogs this year. Less Miles and Johnny Mustang need to be slapped around some more.

You haven't been around VolNation enough weird stuff going on in the locker rooms! Jobu Voodoo from Jake Stetar

Didn't say he was. The entire post was about the damaging effects on recruiting, continued losses have.

Most commits we have probably expected to see a decent measure of improvement this season, under Butch. If it only gets worse, then it's inevitable that a decent number will flip to other teams before NSD

it's inevitable that you, sir, are another "fan" who knows nothing about what you write on these boards, however, you continue to write.

I hope his wife leaves him. Damn she's hot.

What we really need on this site is a thumbs down button!

The people that are wanting Butch fired are the same ones who were convinced Gruden was coming here.

We have a good coach if he can just be given the time to try to fix a screwed up team and a sad state of mind.

 

[alaVOL]

how do you know that?

It would take an idiot or someone so full of themselves (aka Kiffin like) not to know that losing will get you fired at UT.

agreed.

if ut fires butch in a few years, will they go after gruden again?

Dude. Butch and Kiffin's situations are completely different. Kiffin had a stable program to walk into. Butch is literally rebuilding a program. I don't think Kiffin's falter has any impact or foreshadowing that Butch should even care about or worry over. Kiffin's classes still had players that are better than the majority. California's three stars are better than most states' 5 stars. Kiffin lost his job because he couldn't coach up players and he didn't recruit a QB.

Kiffin has 56 scholarship players. His situation was really bad and masked by Barkley and the receivers his first two years.

even with 56 scholarship players, he had more talent on the field than az state, but he got blown out.

 

[NomadVol]

And you're here because........?

To provide common sense to some of the posers, I mean...:thumbsup:

 

[photovol]

Your analogy is twisted, that's the signal I see

The original post is ABSOLUTE BULLSH**!!!!!

He was preseason number one last year but got smoked by Georgia Tech in some obscure bowl game. That's all I need to know about his coaching ability.

There is no hidden meaning, but mounting losses and near misses to teams you should beat handily WILL hurt recruiting. It did to Kiffin, and it WILL hurt CBJ if this team doesn't improve even a little over the past few years.

Your analysis is off. Kiffin had 5 star talent that he couldn't develop and beat good teams. Butch has a ways to go just to get the talent. I understand your point, but the you made the wrong comparison to Kiffin. As long as CBJ doesn't get blown out in all of these tough games, he will be ok. 6-6 with a bowl will be positive. Also, alot of our current commits are either instate or legacies, so they will most likely stay on board.

 

[allvol123]

So prior to Kiffin's firing, Jones had no idea this was a performance based business.

Amazing.

 

[livefaith]

And this is just ridiculous, unless neither of the Freshman can hit the broad side of a barn.... Staying with Worley the rest of the year = 5-7 at best

Do you genuinely think that you have better insight into the ability of two true freshmen QBs than the coach who recruited them and has coached them throughout camp and daily practices for weeks this season? You (and a vocal minority) of others seems to think b/c our Jr QB sucks, that two true freshman average rated QBs are going to magically cause us to defeat UGA, USC, UA, and / or AU, then run the table against UM, VU, & UK.

The idea seems to be "Worley sucks, so play the next guy because it can't get any worse". That was the exact words repeated over and over during UF week concerning Peterman. Can't find a soul around here saying after less than 2 quarters of him on the field. Now, all of a sudden, it's one of two freshmen that are going to take over and magically navigate us through the SEC guantlet. Have you ever stopped to think that guy being paid $250,000/month for his expertise may see some things that you don't?

Seriously, what kind of logic is this? lol:

Kiffin has naked pictures of somebody... or somebody's wife. He'll be in the NFL before the end of the season.

Agree... CBJ probably doesn't even know yet.. LOL (figure of speech representing the amount this impacts him)

 

[VolsRule]

because he inherited a bare cupboard, butch can lose 7-8 games this year with no problems---next year he should win 7
