He’s the only UTk coach to go to multiple bowl games and win more than 7 games in a season (which he did 3 times) since fat Phil. It’s a real shame how Vols fans have treated him.

He got Cincy to a BCS bowl even.

Only so much you can do at some schools.

Butch needed a little more time. Tennessee pulled the plug too early

He had them in the top 10 at one point. I don’t think that’s happening again for a long time

Tennessee is a waste of good facilities. Ole Miss and Tenn should trade stadiums.

Kiffin- 1 season
Dooley- trash
Pruitt- trash

I mean you could insert just about any accomplishments in the blank that butch did and it still wouldn't really mean anythign considering who he's being compared to.

And Auburn has only made that one coaching change since 2010.

What is UTK's count since 2010?

Imma hang up and listen, Pawl

Yall would have fired him last season if you could have afforded his buyout.

Eh, Butch was a goober. He had excellent talent and could only coach them to 8-win seasons.

Besides, everyone on the staff at Tenn as well as the players agreed unanimously that Jones was a complete d*ckhead while he was there. So no, he does not deserve an apology. To insinuate that is ridiculous, OP.

Now, should he have been fired so quickly? If it were up to me, maybe not. Tennessee's AD allowed the mob to control the strings and had zero backup plan for a HC replacement. If Tennessee was going to fork over that buyout money so quickly, they should have waited to have a plan in place as opposed to letting the Gruden-blowing Bubbas on VolNation call the shots.
