What kind of coach Butch Jones is. I know people on here are flipping the ish out over Vandy but I'm looking forward to it. First off unlike the first half our schedule against teams like Oregon, Bama, Auburn, etc, etc we still match up evenly or, in my opinion, even slightly out-talent Vandy as a whole. Next you throw in the off week to give our guys some much needed rest and the coaching staff to make some adjustments I'm expecting a good game.

Getting back to the thread title now; this is the type of game we'll see what kind of coach CBJ is. When two teams match up with comparable talent levels it always comes down to coaching. If CBJ is a good coach we should beat Vandy, if we lose, with comparable horses, than there might be some cause for alarm. That said, CBJ is already 1-0 against Franklin so I'm feeling pretty good :good!:

James Franklin is arguably the second best coach in the SEC. What he has done at Vandy is beyond unbelievable.

Yet CBJ beat him head to head already and no he isn't;

1. Saban
2. Spurrier
3. Sumlin
4. Miles
5. Mark Richt

Are the top five in my book.

WTF? Am I in a parallel universe or something. When has Vandy's coach ever been "the second best coach in the SEC"?

Vandy is odd this season. They lose to USC, & Ole Miss. Get blown out by Missouri. Beat an injury ridden Florida & UGA. They beat their non conference games and Kentucky, as predicted.

Gentlemen, Vandy is beatable; especially in Knoxville. However; we can't come on to the field half-cocked and expect to win. We have to bring our "A" game, and play just like we did against UGA & USC......

Franklin has beaten four traditional SEC heavyweights in Auburn, UT, UGA and Fla, but he beat them when they all four were either terrible or crippled. He has yet to beat a good SEC team. UGA is probably the best win out of those four and most of that team was injured and they gift wrapped the game in the 4th quarter with turnovers.

I'll give Jimmy Frank credit for one thing. He has taken advantage of bad SEC teams unlike the other Vandy coaches that hardly ever could.

The problem is that Vandy is peaking and we are regressing. Football is a momentum game. Maybe the bye week will do us wonders. But I think we lose.

Teams are setting records against us that have been about a hundred years in the making. We are historically bad. I thought good coaching would help that as the season went on. But we look like a high school team that shouldn't even be on the field with these teams and the season is almost over.

If we lose to Vandy, I can see some recruits getting a little nervous about Butch's, or at least Jancek's coaching ability.

Vandy got torched 56-24 just 2 weeks ago with Manziel hurt and they pulled him midway through the 3rd quarter. I'm not really buying that Vandy is peaking. Their schedule has been soft. If they had played Bama, Mizzou and Auburn in the last three weeks they would've gotten hammered too. By the way, they lost to Mizzou 51-28.

They beat a crippled UGA team who we should've beaten, got torched by A & M and beat a crippled Fla team. We just played three of the better teams in the SEC in Bama, Mizzou and Auburn who are a combined 27-2.
