What do you think my plane comments were in reference to? The boosters have the pressure dial set to a 2/10 right now and they have MANY levers to pull to increase it to unbearable levels.
So the question is why dont the boosters turn it up? Or when do you expect them to?
This is the problem at UT and has been since Dickey retired, no one really knows who's making these decisions or why. When Dickey was the AD at UT EVERYONE knew who was in charge and who made the decisions. It was him!!
Here is why I am skeptical. Why would he wanna come to coach at a school that clearly makes it look like they don't have any respect for him and make it seem as if they will give him hell while he is here?? It's almost portrayed like they don't care, and they could careless about football or winning....don't get why he would come to this??? MIT? Honest question, not doubting you.
But I honestly wanna know why he wants to come here?
Besides all the well-publicized family ties, and the ESPN stuff, here's why I think he would want to come here:
He is a driven man. A self-described egomaniac. He looks out on the college football landscape and tries to figure out who can beat Saban. Who can beat Saban? Who can bring Alabama and Saban down a notch?
and he thinks........"I alone can beat Saban. I alone can save Tennessee."
And that's why he comes here.
The challenge of it all.
Several of you posters had some great answers. I will have to buy a fine bottle of scotch and do a tasting with 4-5 of you at one of the home games next year. I will post the exact answer that I had for the game theory payoff once Butch has been formally fired. I do not want to give the competitors insight into how they should be thinking about it. If you answered then DM me on Twitter and we can pick a game as a group.
