The two (recent) articles below say so. One is a Sports Illustrated article and the other is, perhaps click bait.
The SI article:

Gives Hugh Freeze as the hottest seat of all. I'm certain all of us and everyone interested in college football understands. There are however other well known names on their list. I remember alot of fans clammering for Rich Rod and Kevin Sumlin to come here. More so for the latter when he was still at Houston and before he went to aTm. The irony on this is that those for Butch can look at him and say after Manziel he has fared no better than Butch. Those against Butch can use the same to say he has done better with less. Lets not forget he's had his share of controversy as well. As for Roch Rod, I thought he was a good coach and he might become available. But, would you want another CLK? There are others on the "hot seat" list you can compare with Butch and discuss.
This article kind of defends Butch, but it does so from a fans perspective. (This article covers both aspects and I've seen both of them on here).

It states the obvious in that Butch has no equity with the fans because he hasn't done much. But, it also correlates that he is on par for the past quarter of a century what has been Tennessee football.
Personally, I don't think or feel CBJ is on the hot seat. Any knowledgeable fan cannot hold the first two years against him. Obviously, this is because of the shape the program was in. Certainly, I wish he would have had more success as all fans at all schools. Multiple posts on numerous threads have commented about him being on the hot seat. We haven't had a thread dedicated soley to this topic. So, VN fans and VN experts, what do ya'll think? Is the seat hot or not?
