re: What record is it going to take for Botch to get fired?

I am not happy with where we currently stand

I have no reason to believe our current coach will change where we currently stand

Therefore I don't see what we have to lose by making a change.

No major coaches are gonna come here? Ok do you realize how those guys became major coaches? Someone took a chance

Utah took a chance on Meyer and some would say so did Florida

Michigan state took a chance on Saban

Stanford took a chance on Harbaugh

Oh and don't forget, back in 1992 Tennessee took a chance on a guy named Phillip Fulmer

Just bc we can't get the reincarnation of Vince Lombardi doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try to improve. If it doesn't work out then it doesn't workout but if you are truly content with 8 wins and not ever even winning the division then I just don't understand you and don't believe you understand the places this program has been

I'd be happy to have any of the three, especially Norvell

I think it'd be pretty hard to get Fuente





For a second I want to be clear: Butch is far from destined to be fired right now and honestly I'd be surprised if he is. I'm not even sure 7-5 would get him canned so all my talk about future coaches is just pure speculation in case we get the miracle we deserve of his termination

Any particular reason?

and who is that?

How 'bout we just curb stomp 'bama and call it a season.

I'll never root for us to lose but I think I'm willing to take a 5-7 or 6-6 season if it means someone else is leading us through the T in 2018

If you are that miserable watching football then stop watching. i will take tennessee winning 8 games this year over them winning 5 or 6 to fire a coach and hire another one to do the same thing we are doing now. Get a life kid

I'm perfectly content with life..thanks for your concern.

And in no way miserable watching (well other than than the fact that Butch got severely outcoached by Butter Teeth) I just expect better out of a storied program than being satisfied with mediocrity. Lyle's recruiting classes have never landed outside the top 15 nationally, yet he takes these 4 and 5 stars and coaches them down to 2 and 3 star levels and hasn't been close to finishing that high in the final rankings.

If 8 wins is satisfactory to you, you are satisfied with annual losses to Florida, Georgia, Bama and some other school who has no business beating UT on a regular basis. (and that's starting to look like Vandy)

That Hail Mary was telling to me. I just didn't give a damn. Surprised myself.

Lol same. 5 years ago I would've blown up into a fit of redneck rage.

As soon as I saw Cleveland get behind Abernathy and the camera started zooming in as the ball was on it's way down, I quietly put my face in my hands, heard Nesslers's call and sat there for a solid two minutes. I then calmly walked outside, sat on my back deck staring at the trees for a solid 15 minutes and slowly sipped a domestic light beer.

It's liberating to say the least. I'm at the point now with Butch where I was with Dooley after the 2012 Gators game.

I can't believe I let him suck me back in after all the collapses in 2015 but I will not be fooled again
