7-5 or 8-4 still looks to be the case when you step back and look at everything.

Not including Florida, Butch seems to always lose a head scratcher loss and then wins one he shouldn't.

The epitome of average

Are we really discussing if winning out besides Bama is enough to keep Jones?

This board has lost all of its sense of reality if that is even a topic.

When has he won one he shouldn't? App State? Ga Tech? Georgia 2016?
 
It's a long season. We all need to take it one week at a time. Last week sucked as hard as any we are likely to ever endure. Time to move on.

Let's exercise some demons this week and beat the crap out of UMass.
 
There's no way we're firing a 10-2 coach. I just think people believe, reasonably, that if we can't beat a team as bad as Florida, it's going to be a tall order to win that many.
 
Question...

In your opinion, what would Butch have to do to win over the fanbase and prove that Saturday was a fluke?


I'm going to say that he has to win out for the rest of the regular season, make it to Atlanta (not win, per say) and win a bowl game.

Seriously.

What say you, RF?

I say win the east regardless of how it comes about. I don't think we have to win out. That would mean beating Bama which ain't happening.
 
I hope JG gets some snaps this weekend too. But to me, an ideal situation would be for QD to get the entire first half to work out some kinks, build a nice lead, and hand it over to JG for the second half. Dormady's the guy going forward, and he needs plenty of reps along with the entire 1st string offense (minus Kelly, who I hope they use sparingly).

And I really hope they use this game to build some depth across the board by getting backups some quality reps.

The only thing about that is I want JG to get reps with the ones. I would give QD a series or two the JG a series or two.
 
Since 2013 (when butch took over)

Tennessee is 3-15 as an underdog, and 29-6 as a favorite

Florida is 4-15 as an underdog, and 26-7 as a favorite

Georgia is 3-5 as an underdog, and 35-11 as a favorite

I still don’t think he will be fired, I firmly believe Butch has is belly full of East Tennessee and will be voluntarily moving on seasons end.
 
All sanity has been lost here. This program is going to be very very very very different when Butch Jones leaves it that when DD left it. Comedy around here.

Practice squad players and true freshmen are quickly becoming our 2nd and 3rd strings with all of these injuries. Gotta imagine recruiting will take a hit as well, though certainly hope not.
