Really enjoyed getting after Mizzou fans last night (in a mostly good natured way of course) about trigger warning, safe spaces and calling them the Missouri Social Justice Warriors

We have a much better football program than we did 4 years ago.

But with that expectations are higher.

Scrutiny is more.

The magnifying glass is bigger.

I finally bruin on ignore list. When a person starts posting things that are obviously said to find someone to argue with isn't productive to me. Its one thing to disagree with someone and one that just wants to keep things stirred up.

I'm certain that is all he has ever done. 100%

In fairness to the Butch blaming, he's in year 4 so pretty much everything that happens, good or bad, is on him at this point. He's recruited and developed all these players and hired all the assistants so if any of them screw up he shares some blame. The question is just if 8-3 is good enough with this team, not whether Butch is to blame.

I realized something yesterday that's hard to fathom, if the team closes with a win over Vandy and a bowl win, that would be UT's best winning % in a season since 2004. You'd have to go back to 2001 to find a better winning %.

Then compare that to UGA and LSU who basically fired their coaches for consistently turning in 10 win seasons.

So on the one hand, it's progress, on the other hand it's not good enough for the SEC. All that assumes UT closes with 2 wins, which is far from certain.

He had to build the team from the ground up because the cupboard was bare, so he definitely gets credit for that. I think he could be a Fulmer and hire some good coordinators and be right up there with the best. He just has to find the right ones.

I'm with JC Penny. Hire a great OC and let Shoop pick his staff, and let's win the SEC

Just getting settled in after going to the game, and here is what I saw.

1. Idk how it looked on tv, but our interior lineman are lost pre-snap. The DE and LB are constantly have to put them in the right gap.

2. Our alignment looks way too spread out. There is a TON of space in the middle.

3. The linebackers really struggle to get lined up as well.

4. They did quit showing the LSU/UF score in the stadium.

5. I feel like I say this every time I go but Dobbs looks even faster in person than on tv.

6. The offense was really fun to watch yesterday.

Saw on Twitter that Herman already has offers... which programs do you think have offered him already?

I assume LSU... maybe Baylor?

Agree about Dobbs. I had fun watching him boatrace the entire Mizzou defense.

Lol The RF says

Bob Shoop has done one hell of a job.
We love playing games where we have to score 40 to win.


Anybody that says otherwise is a troll.

The problem is that you will not just make your point and go on. You belabor it incessantly and bring it up without provocation continuously. We know where you stand. No one is really debating you right now and you continue to flood this thread with your opinion on Shoop. We get it. You think he sucks.

With potential staff makeover who do you think we should bring in to replace them. I think we will be replacing OC, OL, DB, LB.

I would like to see
Rich Rod - OC
Jeff Grimes - OL
Terry Fair - DB
Tosh Lupoi- LB

This season has so many similarities to Cuonzo martin's last basketball team. Fans bailed on him early for failing to play consistently and beat everyone fans thought they should. He rights the ship, takes them to the sweet sixteen and they play Michigan to the wire. Season ends and Cuonzo bolts, sick of working hard for a fanbase that enjoys crucifiying its coaches more than it does cheering on its team

If we win out and win the sugar bowl, coach jones may look like a good commodity.

Would he bolt, middle finger in the air ?

Be interesting to see the fiasco of a coaching hire without stability at ad. If any fanbase deserves that I think certain elements of ours does. We have way to many complainers. I'm not sure which seasons in the past 15 years spoiled our fans so much.

If Butch were to leave, I am to the place that I don't blame him. Hopefully if he does he is this generations Johnny Majors, and the next coach takes the team higher. But I guarantee you that if Butch leaves, JG goes with him.
