Butch Jones could have been a good coach if he had learned to delegate rather than dictate. He did create excitement when hired. From what I have heard is he wouldn’t let his assistant coaches coach. Apparently, he hasn’t changed.

Butch was and still is an idiot. When he was hired it did absolutely nothing for me except tell me it would be another 4-5 years before I watched again.

Some perspective:

In the 11 seasons prior to the arrival of CJH, Vols beat Fl, Ga and Al a total of 3 times in 33 games. (Surprisingly, Butch was 3-12 in those games; the other two doofuses were winless).

With a win Saturday, CJH will be 5-4 against those teams in the last three seasons.

Bottom line…he’s brought this program a long, long way.

I’m just sitting back, enjoying the ride and watching the phoenix rise from the ashes.

There's going to be more wins than losses in the next few years under Heupel against those 3.

Looking back on it, I understand why Butch was hired. He was actually qualified for the job here. Kiffin and Dooley were not qualified. No competent AD would have made those hires. I remember looking Butch up and thinking hey he was won some championships.

But being a good coach here? Disagree. He was in way over his head.

While our then coach couldn't figure out how to cover his mouth during covid, we'd be in a McDonald's bag money scandal, and Bama and UGA would win 3 titles during the next 4 years, would you have ever believed that in 2024 we would beat bama, Florida, and uga in the same year, win the SEC Championship against Texas (against a Manning after Ewers is destroyed by our D), and be headed to a first round bye in the playoffs?

Get ready for it to happen folks! I'm not aure how well we stack up to Oregon or Ohio, but I like our chances against everyone else we could face as potential opponents from now til the final four of the playoffs. This is an amazing year!!!

Believe!

GBO!

I remember when Heupel was hired. Most on here, I v do judging myself, thought White went cheap and got us a google coach. I didn’t know who Heupel was. And then looking at the UCF boards and them saying they were glad he left, had me pretty dejected. I thought here is yet another 4-5 year rebuild. I resigned myself to the fact that we will be competing with Vandy, South Carolina and UK and that’s it.

Boy was I so happy to be wrong. There isn’t a single person on this board that expected anything close to what Heupel has done. Not one. I am gonna go ahead and say it. The job Heupel has done here so far is better than ANY of our modern era coaches.

White has a lot of connections in the athletic director community and the hires of Caldwell and Heupel have shown the Tennessee fan base that an exciting offense will put Tennessee in the mix for championships.

I lost all interest in anything you were going to say when you tried to take a moral high ground on Covid
