We are back to square one as it is, at this juncture there is absolutely no where to go but up. 2 Sec wins in 2 years is about as far down as you can get. 3 consecutive losing seasons make me want to puke. I want to get back to being competitive and don't care how we get there, at this point it really doesn't matter....just get there.

That's what SMU said in the late 70's.

Is that we don't win, so we go after talented punks, who don't want to be motivated or disciplined, and we are back to square one.

1. Kiffin - He seem to recruit kids that had talent but had off the field issues. He at least was able to win and get kids fired up at times. The kids seem to respect him a bit. The "fun", "talking trash" guy.

2. Dooley - Recruited some talented guys but all the punks didn't respect him so it got worse ON the field. He was clueless and the kids had no one to look up too. He looked for kids with "class".. I guess... He's like the principle.

3. CBJ - so far, seems to middle of the road. He's getting the kids pumped up and he seems like a great motivator. But what if we don't win and win soon? Will he be able to motivate the kids or will he have to recruit talented punks just to compete? I look as Butch like a cool camp counselor. All the "stripes" stuff is cool but I feel like some kids would rather just play the game than play "big brother"... maybe if Butch turned it into a fraternity brotherhood, they would be cool.

People say that Pearl and Butch are similar. I agree in some aspects but Pearl is a little more like a Kiffin on how he relates to players. I really do hope for the best though. If history is like this below, I think it will!

Kiffin/Green - played with talented punks and just rolled with it.

Dooley/Buzzball - both had mediocre talent but both too nice and not respected enough and definitely didn't win enough

Pearl/Jones... Go Vols!!!!!

My biggest fear is zombies, snakes and alien abduction in that order.

Fact of the matter I hardly ever post but ppl drive me crazy we will never be good again if everybody wants to change coaches every year give the guy a chance be payient, I mean it's obvious were going in the right direction just be patient and let the man do his job, honestly nobody should expect much this year if we win 6 games and go to a bowl game expectations would be well meet give butch time

What I've gathered from the stripe removal, Vollympics, fist up defense and all of the creative tweaks to workouts and scrimmages is this...Butch is turning this program into a player driven vehicle. These young men are taking a little training and taking off with it....Butch preaches to them...THIS IS YOUR TEAM...and they get it....like Butch

My biggest fear is someone switches out my regular bacon for turkey bacon or some other substitute and I like it better.

Kids thrive when they start WINNING in a system they "buy" into, NOT because they "buy" into it beforehand. Butch is building team relationship/chemistry with the players which is GREAT for sure...but what happens when we lose a couple of games that we feel like we should have won? Blame will start to come on the coaches and not the players because in the players minds, they did everything the coach asked. I don't want to be an underdog team or have that mentality. I think we need to be a little more cocky and meaner.

Enough of this estrogen laced tirade!

We are Tennessee! We don't have fears, we have concerns.

CBJ gets it and our players get it...and soon our opponents will get it!

Straight and to the point.

Post would've been perfect with a "whoop dey ass" in there.
