Barring a massive collapse (I'm talking no bowl game here) or something else very drastic coming out in this whole Title 9 situation, Butch will be UT's coach for at least 2 more seasons. If UT were to flop to a 8-4 or 7-5 season, Butch would surely be on the hot seat. And admittedly, Butch has had a problem with tensing up in close games, usually either costing us or almost costing us the game. Hell, I'll admit that he's the reason our losing streak to Florida lives on*. But the administration isn't gonna be so quick to can a guy who's brought the program from the fricking dumpster into a position where it can be a SEC and national contender. Our win total has increased by 2 each year, and most of the players who were starters in the Dooley days wouldn't scratch the two-deep on our current roster. Furthermore, the administration takes into account things like team GPA, which has improved vastly under CBJ. I still have my reservations about the guy, but like it or not, he almost certainly isn't going anywhere for at least 2 years. And I think Bert is in somewhat of a similar position, Miles, Sumlin, Malzahn, Stoops, Mason, and Mullen are all far more likely to be sent packing after this year than either of them.
