All of them but kamara and Hurd like him. Barnett and dobbs love butch.

Without newton Chizik never wins a title, without Brady bellicheck never wins anything. You can play that game all day.

I get the butch hate. But people act like he’s a middle school coach it’s just silly.

I mean three times over a 5 year period is pretty sorry. And I totally disagree with Iowa lol.

Correct but there also wasn’t a ton of teams that were more talented than us after year 2. And I did say a few times here. Most years (at a lesser school) He’ll give u a win you shouldn’t but also probably lose one he shouldn’t

You know we had some of the best special teams in the country every year under butch... you know which portion of practice butch took the most control of and practiced the most...that’s also one of the main reasons he’s at bama. He is a damn good special teams coach.

Well, when you choose to work on ST more than offense and defense, I would hope so.

Butch is an idiot. Speaking with someone at lunch this week close to some in the program when Butch was there. Guy was all about himself and this job was just WAY too big for him. When he started changing coaches who knew what they were doing AND loyal to him, things went downhill quickly. Butch was a salesman. A good salesman.

I’m not the one who brought it up as an eventuality citing gas. Both gone and I get you $100...either one still here and I get $100 and you take a selfie kissing a pic of Jordan’s butt while simultaneously pissing on an open mouthed pic of Lebron.

No argument from me there. I think the job was too big and his ego killed him here. Too controlling and then let the players skip on workouts and meetings. Put him in a mid tier or low tier P5 school and I think he does fine. I if he became more of someone who just focused on Recruiting and hired elite assistants he would Do ok at an elite program. Not championship caliber tho

For the offense, last Saturday's success was important because they moved the football consistently without heaving up the back shoulder throws. They also caused problems for the Gamecocks despite a lack of explosive plays. Now, they certainly will need explosive plays to win games in November, but they can't just rely on throwing up jump balls down the field much the way they did at Auburn.

Look for Tennessee to start the same offensive line as they did a week ago. It's the lightest OL in the SEC with three starters under 300 pounds and two weighing less than 290 pounds. But Marcus Tatum, Jahmir Johnson, Ryan Johnson, Nathan Niehaus and Drew Richmond played pretty well at South Carolina, so Tennessee will line up that way again this week. Pruitt is certainly hoping they’ll build some continuity and limit their mistakes, especially pre-snap penalties.

It appears that Tennessee will be without Jauan Jennings. The junior wideout hasn't practiced this week. He has dressed for practice but hasn't been in cleats and has been simply a spectator.

It also appears that running back Ty Chandler will be limited or will play in an emergency role — if he plays at all. Chandler's health is the reason Jeremy Banks moved back to running back and look for Banks to play this week. Tim Jordan has a banged up shoulder but should be good to play. Also, it's likely Banks will remain on the offensive side of the ball for the rest of the year and then his position for the future will be determined from there. Of course, Banks is the one who wanted to move to defense. He hasn't changed his mind on that. They just need him on offense right now.

Defensively, what they do at safety seems to be anyone's guess right now. Micah Abernathy remains out and there's no timetable for his return. Trevon Flowers won't be back until the Missouri game at the earliest. So will it be Todd Kelly again? Does Theo Jackson get some snaps? Can Shawn Shamburger give them anything? We will see.

Pruitt continues to like his team's preparation during on the practice field. They have been consistent the last few weeks and they are starting to compete on the practice field the way Pruitt wants. This week, Tennessee’s coach turned up the competition with the 2's and 3’s, giving them an opportunity period where they scrimmaged some 20-25 plays.

It's safe to say it had some of the intensity that Pruitt was looking for, with guy like Kurott Garland and Greg Emerson making some plays. Obviously for Pruitt and his staff, you are preparing for the now but also for the future, which is a balancing act in terms of how much contact you take and how much you go full speed scrimmage style work.

Phillip Fulmer's announcement Thursday that they were delaying/further reviewing the renovations to the southend and east side of Neyland Stadium was no surprise. Fulmer had been giving that indication for several weeks, as had been noted here in the War Room. At the quarterback club last month, Fulmer referenced the cost of the project, asking rhetorically where does that money come from? Secondly, south stadium hall is still not empty. There's still academics housed there — an issue with the renovations since Mike Hamilton came up with the project over a decade ago. Thirdly, Tennessee doesn't have a final design play either which means phase 1 of the project which was slated to start at the end of the season is not on the table.

You may want to look up bellicheck stint in Cleveland and his first year in NE without Brady.

Butch one of the worst coaches in SEC history??? Have you seen his record. Like that doesn’t even make statistical sense. The coach directly before him (Dooley) was worse than him. A good chunk of his roster is currently in the NFL and a lot of them producing lol.

Defending Butch and ragging a kid like JG. Your moving down the list.

What's crazy is that I see points of Hank that I agree with and points of Bass that I agree with. It doesn't have to be black and white.

He did identify and snag really good players. He was a good program figure head. He did a bad job of maintaining a winning culture. He had a mixed bag of assistant hires and increasingly got worse. He also won us 9 games, and I'm not going to complain one bit about that given where we've been since 2007. He also left us in a dumpster fire, but how much of that is on the AD too? I'd say quite a bit.

Having said all that, I hope he gets the Maryland job if for no other reason than to help offset some of these millions UT is using to help subsidize his cigar-smoking whistle stop in Alabama.

Maybe but special teams is not the head coach. He’s horrible at running a big program such as a Tennessee in the SEC.

If butch would stick to that and just focus on STs and recruiting and give free rain to two coordinators then he would be fine. He just wants to control every aspect of his program like no one else I’ve ever seen. It’s why shoop hated his time here.

You are describing a bad head coach. That’s what he was

Yeah, I’ve had to restart the webserver a couple of times, which causes the site to be inaccessible for a minute or two. Just wondering if anyone has actually had to log in again.
