Currie knows this. What he does about it is another story. If he can't get it done, then I'll be convinced Larry is correct and there are just too many obstacles and too many egos holding back the UT AD from being successful.
That 5-week stretch of FL, UGA, AU, BAMA, & USCjr. is rough. Yes, we have a BYE in there, but man is that a tough setup.
I agree with this statement. Of course, Kelly needs touches, too. If QD continues to be the all the time QB, I would love to see a Chandler/Kelly combo in the "Wildcat", especially in the 4th quarter and the half yard line, if UT won't go under center.
I wonder if Butch would've taken this job back in 2012 if he knew how crazy our fan base/expectations are. Not to say they aren't warranted, but I think if he could see the amount of stress and pressure he would have 5 years later, he may have held out for a position elsewhere with lower expectations.

And once again we have a COMPLETELY brutal stretch. Who thought it was a good idea to put all the hard games at the beginning and all the easy games at the end? This year was much better put together.
Looks like a 7-5 or 8-4 type schedule. At least the BYE is in a good spot.

Unbalanced schedule. At least the BYE is in a good spot.
