How has Butch proven not to be a good coach? Tennessee's record has improved every year he's been there.

Very poor in game coach.

The last two Florida games, the Oklahoma game last year, Arkansas last year, Mizzou 2 years ago. All really poorly managed. First year he gets a pass for (and points for the S. Carolina win).

The OU, UF, Arkansas stretch last year was coaching malpractice.

I thought they played well and were coached well last year from the second half of the UGA game on (including the loss to Bama), but he hasn't beaten a team more talented than his team since S. Carolina in year 1 imo.

Mainly because he's recruited well and upgraded our talent. He's a great CEO type coach, but lacking when it comes to X's and O's, particularly in game. To be fair, he was just what we needed when we hired him, but I doubt we'll be anywhere near consistent top 10 if we don't make a change at some point.

What worries me is if we frick this year up (and a lot of that depends on this game) that top recruits will stop buying what he's selling and see UT as a program that's peaked out at 8 or 9 wins under his regime. Then the one thing that has been his bread and butter suffers, and we end up even worse.
