Agreed. Will be interesting to see if Butch takes a hard look at the program after this season and makes changes.

Vols will likely enter 2017 picked to finish 3rd or so in the East, so the expectations for major success won't be there, but he may be coaching for his job with a new AD. So does he make any wholesale changes and roll the dice in order to improve position units from average to good?

My guess is no...but we are 4 years in with guys like Thig, Martinez, Azzanni, and Gillespie. Other teams may come calling for them, and we may see some changes that aren't of his choosing.

Gillespie needs to be kept for sure.

But you continuously post that you picked us to be 9-3. You are so proud that you correctly picked the record.

You don't get to be mad too. You can't gloat about us losing and be mad when we do.

Team feels extremely vulnerable to me now. I still had faith that we could come out and dominate the 2nd half last week. Didn't happen. Can't afford slow starts against any teams now. We are capable of playing badly enough to lose to any of UK, Mizzou, and Vandy.

Has he gloated about being right in his 9-3 pick?

I brought it up earlier this week but never saw him mention it himself...

Gloating that I have correctly picked the record the last year possibly two? That doesn't mean I like what I'm saying :crazy:

Vandy up 3-0 against #9 Auburn on the road.

Someone at ESPN is writing an article already.

Ha ha. Dobbs makes better decisions than most. He had a terrible game last week. It happens to everyone if they play this game long enough. He's certainly not perfect, but he's a winner, he's tough and gives his all for Tennessee. That's enough for me. UT would not have 5 wins without him!

As for your criticism of Dobbs not being smart on the field until you have walked in his shoes and faced what he faces every Saturday you have no right to Say that about him.

Dobbs has the heart of a Tennessee Volunteer and I question anyone who thinks otherwise!

I love Dobbs and think he has been our best option at qb since the day he stepped on campus. Has been a gamer and made a ton of plays. We owe a lot to Dobbs.

Doesn't change what I said about him and I would have said it before last week's game. In fact I did not watch most of it. Got home late and knew the outcome so I didn't bother.

I had my own issues with it for a long time, too. Wanted desperately to feel better. I have heard about others feeling comfort in that state of mind, though.

The optimist in me says that with Dobbs at QB the plan was to rely on the defense and play conservative on offense and that next year with the change we see something more productive like what he had at CMU or Cincinatti. I still believe it's less a scheme issue and more of a play-calling one because of the flashes we've seen throughout Butch's tenure here.

The pessimist in me says that Butch is what is he is, a decent HC but someone more suited to a G5 team, or a lower level P5 team like Purdue since his biggest strength is building a program.
