You're really struggling today.

Butch lost to Dooley who had twice as much talent.

Strong just lost to a 1-9 Kansas team with the far superior team.

That comparison makes 0 sense and I think you know it

You are talking to a guy who believes we have 44 draft picks in our 2 deep. Coaching failure is the only explanation for being 8-3 in his world.

COMMERCIAL BREAK....

Barnett has 2.5 more sacks than the Bednarik Finalists, 1 more tackle for loss and as many turnovers as the other three COMBINED.

It's comical how the major awards are totally linked to just a few teams now.

Johnny Majors - first four years:

1977 - 4-7 unranked all year
1978 - 5-5-1 unranked all year
1979 - 7-5 (peaked at #17 in polls before falling out)
1980 - 5-6 unranked all year

Only wins over ranked opponents were auburn 18 and Norte Dame 13 in that stretch.
Only made one bowl game and lost it.

He took over for Bill Battle who, despite being mediocre and not well regarded by the fans, never had a losing season.

Wasn't till the Sugar Vol season in 1985 that he finally broke through in a big way.

Majors would have been crucified long before he had the chance to do that in today's era.

You can't learn too much from a coaches first four years. Just look at where the early successes of chizik, muschamp, malzahn and sumlin has gotten them?

BB is off in crazyland, and has went all in on the fahr Butchhater bandwagon. He ain't coming back till Butch is gone, and he will not make any sense in any of his arguments either. The BB hyperbole train has left the building.

I've not kept up with this thread much due to all of the bickering but this is what I sent my friends about my thoughts.

All these people wanting Butch gone saying Tennessee plays for championships and that's the expectation is to win championships. Is it though? 1 natty in the last 50-60 years. No sec title in 18 years. Fulmer was considered one of the best coaches we've had and only managed to get to the top once. He won the sec just twice and not again his last 9 years. Also he only won it once with the best quarterback in history, no? Are we expecting too much from Butch? Based on the aforementioned isn't 9-10 wins a year, an east title every 2-3 years and an sec championship/ playoff berth every 4-5 years good enough?

We may just win 10 games. Yes, the loss to South Carolina is disappointing but TEN WINS. Two years ago we were going into this game at 5-6 just hoping to make a bowl.

I wonder how bad the meltdown will be when Butch gets a raise and extension after the season.

After this season? With Hart on the way out and a new AD who's never worked with him not quite fully in yet?

Next year this is probably a good possibility though depending on the season.

He was talking about the seniors and tried to give a 'feel good' quote about being proud of them. It only reeked of excuse making if you are the type that falls for click bait headlines daily.

That said, it was a corny statement and Butch says lots of corny things he'd be better off skipping.

I heard what he said.

If there was just ONE thing for fans to be in an uproar about this season, it's this.

It's pure bullshat. Garrett doesn't deserve the recognition that Barnett does, period.
