They're not going 8-4 or 9-3. They've given up on Butch Jones.
Tennessee will lose 5-6 games. The death nail will be when they lose to Missouri.
I agree. I still think the O-Line coordinator for the Lions and Former Vol JB Cooter will be the new coach for Tennessee. I think Chip is a great coach but JBC will be the one to bring the program back because he has a vested interest in being something that he couldn't be during his playing tenure at the University of Tennessee. You are spot on with the instate talent that is there but the 5 star recruits will not stay unless Butch and Company are shown the exit. I can't believe in all of the years being a V4L that BJ allowed the dogs to come in there and disrespect Neyland like that. Especially with a team full of talent that this guy has.
The administration should make the move now. The school is no longer losing money like the days of Kiffin and Dooley. Great coaches aren't chock full of gimmicks and this dude is a walking cliche' full of game. The fanbase recognized this when he came up with the lame ass "brick by brick" slick talk. I don't care what they say about you on this board, if theres one thing you know Swag, it's Tennessee football. Butch had J Hurd split the team up because he was too busy catering to his soft diva ass when Alvin and Kelly should have been running the rock all season last year which is the result of the 9-4 record. No way with all that talent we had on team 120 do you go 9-4.
Now look, he will do the same thing he did to Dobbs to Guarantano when he had sorry ass Peterman out there taking snaps instead of Dobbs. JD could have won that game against Florida and Alabama when he was redshirted but Butch put him in too late. Sorry for the vent but this dude has worn out his welcome and needs to go!
