It wouldn't surprise me if Beliema is shopping himself behind the scenes for some of the jobs available.

If UGA was to let Richt go they better make a big splash. Bad timing for them with that class they loading up. That is why I think Richt stays one more year to get this class in. Pruitt is overrated and being exposed Without coaching an entire defense of 1st and 2nd rd picks

I think Richt stays one more year, too. They'll work out a deal, bring in a big recruiting class, have a respectable year, then Richt will leave on his own terms. UGA could win out, go 9-3, get a good bowl and finish 10-3. They've lost to three good teams-- two that could be playoff contenders-- so it's not exactly crisis mode.
 
It is not his weird inability to throw a bomb that bothers me so much. It is his many crappy passes to guys less than 50 ft away from him.

I'm kind of here as well on this.

The bomb to Malone was beautiful.
The multiple short throws that were high or off were baffling.
 
The #1 team in D2 has a few Vol ties. West Georgia was 0-10 nit that long ago and Daryl Dickey took over and started to turn them around. He became AD a couple of years ago and hired the new coach and they made the final 4 last year and are undefeated and killing everyone this year. His son Dallas is the QB and former Vol Jason Carr has grown into a 6'6" 300 lb DT and has played really well.

The pressure may have gotten to him, but he responded very well. If we had lost to UGA, it would have been miserable. To think, we were down 24-3.

All I can say is that players will play hard for Butch Jones. It has happened every single year while he has been here. You can criticize his gameday coaching, but that trait is invaluable, especially when pressure is put on the program to produce.
I agree, players have played hard for Butch when they could have laid down, which is huge. But I'm still concerned about his game day coaching. I think it was against Georgia (maybe Alabama???), where it didn't end up mattering. But when we were going to need clock late in the 4th, he called a timeout to stop the clock with about three and a half to four minutes left on the clock after the opponent made six or seven yards on first down. Am wondering if he should just hand over timeout decisions to someone else. As much contingency planning as he does, you would think he would have something like this (and penalty yes/no decisions) down pat.
 
Depending on weather forecasts I may drive up and make this my daughters first ever game.

She just turned 3 and is so into Tennessee football this fall.

She had a fairy costume and a witch costume bought by us and the grandparents for her costumes on Saturday, but she demanded to be in her TN cheerleading outfit instead.

Gave me chills and I think it is the perfect time fully turn that blood orange with her first game.

What do you all think!?!?

I'm taking my 3 year old son to that game for his first. I think it's a good one for kids being an early game.
 
not a neg here but looking back we still need to beat a good team this year. Bowl is our best chance.

Yeah. UGA without Chubb and a real QB is bad. From a momentum standpoint, UGA was a HUGE win. In reality though, our best win by far is still South Carolina 2 years ago. We are still "close" but not there yet.

I respectfully disagree. UGA was whipping our rear ends and the team battled back from adversity to beat a rival we hadn't beat in 5 years.

We were about to be 2-4, losing to Florida, Alabama, and Georgia for 11, 8, and 6 years in a row, respectfully.

They were ranked and it also may catapault us to the best W/L record we've had since '07.

Now, the goal should be to beat Florida, Alabama, and Georgia every year from here on out.

I understand what you're saying, I just think 2013 USC was a better team than 2015 UGA.

I'll say it once and leave it. I just don't think he's an accurate QB and probably won't ever be. That said, he's a playmaker and needs to be the starter. Reminds me of McNair throwing bounce passes to Eddie back in the day.

You guys need to watch more teams than just Tennessee. Lots of QBs miss the easy throws sometimes.

Were you not watching how many passes Patrick Towles missed?

It ain't just one here or there. I wish that was all it was. He gets in these hot and cold streaks, almost every single game. And the difference is dramatic. Sometimes almost an entire half, you are seeing him miss one throw after another and wondering how in the hell is he a D1 QB. But then when he snaps out of it, he looks pretty darn good. Just really frustrating, cause this team would have at least 3 more wins under it's belt if he was fairly consistent.
