It seems the Butch apologists have gone into hiding. It happened with Fulmer, it happened with Dooley.
I believe it is time for a change...but is there anyone left who still thinks butch is the right man for the job?
I still support coach until he no longer is coach. I will always support the program.
Your hate has you thinking you are a majority just because of a silly forum where you congregate like fish in a mud hole.

Just wait till he beats bammer
A soldier's ultimate loyalty is to the Constitution. That's what he supports and defends.
That doesn't prevent him from showing loyalty to his teammates, his leaders, and his commander-in-chief (the President) as well.
In the same way, you don't pick and choose your loyalty as a Vols fan. Loyalty to the program is at the base, but--in my opinion--you show loyalty to the players and coaches as well. As long as they're ours, won't disrespect them. Won't bad talk them, denigrate them, insult them. Honest and thoughtful criticism is always fair, but hate-driven bile is not. Not as long as they wear orange.
So sure, I think it's time for the team to go in a different direction for our leadership, but as long as Butch is wearing orange, I'll show the man respect.
My biggest disappointment this season--bigger than losing to FL and UGa, bigger than the realization that we do need a new coaching staff--is discovering just how big a part of our on-line fan base do not get loyalty at all. I honestly, truly thought better of us as a group than we're turning out to be. I'm just hoping it's an anomaly that comes with internet use, that most Vols fans are more reasonable and good-hearted.

Seriously? Comparing this to the Constitution, the president, etc... Methinks we are going a smidge overboard.
I don't think he's the right man for the job but I don't like getting personal and taking shots at him anonymously and the feeling of ganging up on him. "It's just a message board" some say but it's being published for the whole world to see. I believe he has worked hard and is trying, and I appreciate the effort. I think playing in the SEC and particularly being measured against Alabama every year that we need a top level coach and Butch hasn't proven to be it. I just don't want to get on a public forum and spew hate.
