Butch's tenure was worse. Dooley was only here three years. It's true he left us without much OL depth and his other recruits were a step lower than other SEC teams. His teams were never going to get over the hump because he just couldn't recruit. But his tenure was short.
Butch was here 5 years, left us with limited resources, and gave us a public perception black-eye. The "Champions of Life" nonsense, player abuse allegations, 8 loss season, and misuse of the good recruits he was able to attract left us in a really bad place moving forward. Not only do we have to rebuild the roster, we have to rebuild our reputation.
I hope that fool never gets another chance to be a head coach.
