Quickly On Butch & The Vols 2013 Editiion

[It's Gr8 2 B a V]

The Woody Quinn thing is a little random...How about " 3) Jason Croom shocks everyone and becomes the best receiver in the SEC " b/c he will, dont believe me? just watch

UT wasn't. UF was. You won the East 7 times from 92 to 00 and the SEC 5 times in those nine years.

UT was the best competition you had but losing to someone only 22% of the time hardly makes that the "team to beat".



We don't agree on what Jones inherits. I am not claiming he inherits a team that should compete for the East unless he's a wizard of some sort. But he inherits more talent than 6 of his 12 opponents and in the same range as at least two and probably 3 of the other six. I think UF, UGA, and Bama have a clear advantage in pure talent.

We've discussed the particulars before... I'm just not buying that this roster is worse than the one Dooley won 6 games with in '10. The schedule is no worse and maybe a tad lighter. (Jones is very unlikely to face both NC contenders).

So if Dooley who absolutely failed as a coach can get six wins... I do not think 7 is too much to ask for Jones to prove himself.

I agree plus how can a team that volnation thought would win 10 games last year now only have the talent to win 6? I don't buy it. I've said it before 7 wins avg coach..8 wins above avg n 9+ we have a keeper...lol

I'm a little more conservative than that. Seven wins will mean he beat someone who everyone now thinks is better than UT. For a guy to take over, install his system, get player buy in, re-shape their bodies through the S&C program, incorporate brand new players as is necessary with this team, and then outcoach one of the following Malzahn, Helfrich (in the Duck system since 09), Richt, Spurrier, Saban, or Muschamp.... I'd be satisfied that he can coach if he wins 7.

Anything over that just builds confidence more.

4) Worley will start every game this season will be surprisingly good. I honestly think that the Vol Nation will be shocked at how well he plays. I believe that he the best game manager we have and I believe that is all Butch will ask him to do. I admit that I worry about the ints.

Not sure about this one.
Think we'll see a lot of rotation in the first 3 games and by mid season Butch will find his QB.
I'm leaning to Dobbs winning the position. Cool customer.
