Agree. If Tennessee doesn't get there this year with all the talent + experience they return in a weak (even by recent standards) SEC-E, Butch just needs to step gracefully aside and let a real coach come in.
I agree with the sentiment that we should get there but simply too much can happen for me to agree to the rest - injuries, luck, a surprise team being really good, etc. all factor into whether or not a team makes an appearance. If blame ends up being doled out it should always be more along the lines of blame the coach for what's in his control rather than what's not and without having played the season it's hard to make a blanket assessment like that.

It feels very awkward being reasonable on the SEC-R -- like a crabwalk at a cotillion -- but I will concede that point. If Tennessee suffers a major loss, like UF and UGA have done in recent years, it's hard to hold the coach accountable. Barring significant injuries or one of the new QBs for UGA or UF being the greatest thing since sliced Newton, though, I can't think of a clearer-cut favorite for a division title since...Urban's Florida, really.
