No. Look at who is posting what. It is Butch hating. There are a few people on here with a well-defined agenda and they crawl out of the woodwork whenever there's an opening to attack him.

I'm sure him going 5/6 down the stretch and taking Bama to the wire was agony for them.

I probably have some of them on ignore. I find different opinions interesting and enlightening, but some posters are too obnoxious to tolerate.

We as individuals and the reasoning portion of the fanbase just need to show some eye discipline and resiliency.

:p

You know what would kickstart things? Getting Nigel Warrior to commit. A 5* legacy with a who's who offer list choosing UT could start the dominos falling in the right direction.

Those guys don't count because all Vols were sterilized after 1998, so there are no more legacies coming. Also, in-state talent is about to fall off a cliff and will soon be on par with Montana.

Butch needs to be outrecruiting Smart, McElwain, and Saban in GA, FL, and AL. If he can't do that, he's a failure.

Lol I swear it's ridiculous. Let's not forget about pulling the best prospect Butch has probably had to date in Guarantano out of Jersey, but people will swing his relationship with his dad

Where many talking heads are touting us an SEC Championship and playoff contender for 2016, many of our fans are lamenting the loss of a 2017 QB (the position we are the most deep).


Go Vols

Relationships, in all forms are a major part of recruiting. It's amazing how people will cherry pick what to discount.

Funny how every anti Butch guy is coming out of the woodwork all over VN tonight.

Your post is spot on. How quickly some forget last December prior to Kirkland and Richmond. Hell even PW was visiting Auburn.

I have seen many concerned comments but very few extreme critics. I see just as many critics ridiculing people for having legit concerns.

If we all thought the same....

I tend to conflate VN and VQ, but VQ is absolutely in full meltdown mode Butch-hating mode and has been since DCG decommitted.

The quickest way to quiet the haters is to prove them wrong. Right now, the trend is negative, so people are reacting negatively. If Jones commits to Okla and/or JK decommits, it's going to get even worse. In past years, CBJ counteracted negative news by announcing a new commit. That kept emotions in check. That's not happening this year, so people are thinking the worst.

Biggest reason I dropped my sub a few years back.

Those guys would complain if they scratched off a million dollar lottery ticket but had to drive to Nashville to cash it in. And most of the vocal portion of the board has no grasp on reality.

I must say though that I got way more laughs on VQ. Some of the funniest stuff I ever read was on that board. Still have the "big hat" thread saved somewhere.

It's sickening to see how many of our fans are rooting for the guy to fail. I guess being able to say "I told you so" on VolNation is more important to them than actually watching Tennessee win games.

That is today's society. Seriously, people just want others to fail. Twitter and Facebook are just full of people who talk **** about everyone else. That's why I am not on them. Life is too short for that mess.

Though we should be nowhere near panic mode, this has not been a good week for TN on the recruiting trail and we are underperforming this year relative to our competition - still a long way to go.

Johnson was sold by Clemson on the fact that he would compete against a highly rated Junior, RSoph, and RFresh for the QB job and Clemson is hot. Dabo can sell.

I was really wrong about Henry. Turned out to a great college RB. Once he hits his gear he glides past everyone. Still kind of shocked he was able to break the SEC rushing record.

When is that site not in meltdown mode? One of the Worst message board in the nation if not the worst. The only good thing about that site is the content and mods.

The coach could be Belicheck and QB Tom Brady and they would still think we were the worst coach and QB in the country.
