Why would Butch leave? UT is about to be in the SECCG. Surely that's worth a raise.

He won't. He'll get both a raise and at least a small extension. Some fans will gripe but if we were not to do that it would be a very bad look that would run off good coaches who look at us and say 'the man improved the program, the win/loss ratio every year, and took them to the SECCG despite losing 11-17 key players, most of them starters and they treated him like this?' It would also KILL recruiting.

Just the way things work whether fans like it or not.
