Well, he DID make "Champion" rings for his seniors. Y'all also handed out rings for winning a regular season game.

Seeing the simpletons of this board make fun of the idiot coach that their pathetic team LOST to last fall simply never gets old.

F1orida, G2orgia, Mizzou

OP, Lyle has unfortunately lowered the expectations of the VOL fan base, and administration was too cheap/scared to fire him. Simple as that.

Cut Throat Currie will not be so kind, imo.

He handed out Bowl rings just like everyone else nowadays, which is very lame but whatever.

Battle at Bristol made rings for both teams

Our offense couldn't put it in the endzone, but they put up 740 freaking yards on Butch last year. You guys should have fired him


Holy shite. I just looked up the box score for this game. 420 rushing yards, 320 passing yards, 41 first downs, and it was a 5-point game in the 4th quarter.

That loss was extremely embarrassing, after the Gators had kicked UTs asses in the first half to the point that some die hard Vols we leaving the stadium at halftime and then to fall apart and lose to an inferior team in the manner that they did, embarrassing! As long as it only happens every 12 years or so, I am still OK with it. But this thread wasn't about UF, right?

Jim Mac has really lowered F1orida's expectations if they are claiming moral victories these days. Sad!

Tennessee's 2016 football season was actually pretty miraculous. They lost the turnover battle over the course of the season, gave up 450yds of offense per game, and still went 9-4.



It actually pretty is. We also lost more starts than anyone in the country and were the 65th best offense prior to halftime but the 5th best post-halftime.

Utterly bizarre season.

This thread has it all.

Champions of Life references, TT9 poor references, a USMC ring reference and beating UF is all that matters reference.

A lot wrong with the SEC Rant these days but posters otb certainly won't be accused of running things in to the ground.

Truth be told, the thought of Chip Kelly


I don't think Chip Kelly has any interest in returning to college football. Unless Tennessee is gonna pay him Saban money.

Great example of a misleading stat.

LSU has had games canceled due to weather and plays a tougher schedule than Tennessee.

This is more accurate:

Last 3 years
LSU 14-10 in the SEC
Tenn 12-12 in the SEC

LSU 2 games ahead, and playing in a MUCH tougher division.

All that said, I pull for Tennessee to be elite again as a counterweight to Bama.

Let me put it in a simple way you can understand:

Last 3 years
LSU 5-1 vs. the East
Tenn 0-6 vs. the West

In all seriousness, I hope the gap closes because the SEC needs more balance. But as of now, you can't compare an SEC West team and an SEC East team directly with records alone. It's like AAA and the big leagues.

allowing 45 in a loss to Vandy


Butch is meh, but cluster injuries is the #1 reason.

UT was basically the walking dead on defense towards the end of the season.
