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

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.
