I heard the same stuff from vol fans after Dooley's first year. dooley had so many near wins just like butch did this year and there was promise, but he couldn't get the job done. as you know it's early on butch and he might get the job done, but nothing I saw this year really says he is the guy who will do it.. time will tell on that one.

UAB_DAWG Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I think butch is the stepping stone coach for Tennessee. He will get the program back on track but it will be the next hire that determines whether UT will make it back to the SEC elite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be scared to death if I was a UT fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It's amazing how far the program has fallen since the fired Fulmer. 27-34 (10-29) since the start of the 2009 season. Just blows my mind. I almost feel bad for the fans. I'm sure they wish they could unfire Fulmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter Osborne Jr Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I think Butch will be pretty good for UT.. The talent level is pretty low right now but he at least has them scrapping in most of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Falcon Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) I still have faith in Butch. But the amount of talent on our roster is atrocious. These seniors (RS) have had 42 different coaches in their time at Tennessee. Mix in an entire class that didn't pan out (Kiffins) and an incredible amount of attrition then you get our current situation.

Volunteer Falcon Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I thought Dobbs showed some skills when he came in against Alabama.Dobbs definitely has potential and he may very well start next year. But by all accounts Riley Ferguson was miles ahead of him but got hurt in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firing him after 1 bad year was absolutely ridiculous. As ridiculous as Auburn firing Tuberville because of 1 bad year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect any vol fan to not have faith in butch because he is your head coach right now and what other options do you have after just 1 year? I agree with your comment on talent, but dooley stepped himself into a very bad spot and he showed promise in year 1 and then we saw what happened. whatever happens though butch should get 4 years minimum. the high turnover of coaches at Tennessee is a big issue.

We will be extremely young next year so three wouldn't shock me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
