So did Georgia and Ole Miss. And Georgia is now picked to win the East. Vandy was a good team at the end of the year. We had too many injuries on defense it caught up to us in the Vandy game.

Yeah the Vandy Game highlighted our injuries more than any other. To anyone who knows football, doesn't have an agenda, and was at the game could tell we were struggling to find somebody to put their hand on the ground and play DT...it was glaring obvious and Vandy did the smart thing and took advantage. And two crucial turnovers killed us... It's really silly that we're still hashing this out this late.

Yep. Took advantage of the DL real well, by turning a D2 QB into Aaron Rogers and carving up our DBs like Thanksgiving turkeys.

3 bowl wins over 3 mediocre big 10 teams.

Everyone really needs to cool it on that stat.

No doubt, but it certainly beats 3 bowl losses to 3 mediocre Big 10 teams.

Can you imagine the narrative if Butch weren't 3-0 in those games? You think the negas would cool it on that stat?

...and all of that ignores simply going game by game and analyzing the schedule and results. Anybody who knows anything about Tennessee football knows that the schedule set up beautifully after the bye week but we had not one but two bad losses.

The school record points and PPG numbers are the epitome of having your mind made up ahead of time and searching for stats that fit your sunshine pumper narrative. The point total was juiced against inferior competition/horrible defenses (55 against Tennessee Tech, 49 against Kentucky, 63 against Missouri). The offense also played badly against some inferior defenses (App St, Ohio, South Carolina). Against quality competition, the offense was either outright bad (Alabama) or wildly inconsistent (Virginia Tech, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M).

That's the beauty of college football. They only play 12 regular season games, and you can just go game by game to do an analysis of how the season was. It isn't like baseball, basketball, or hockey where averages mean more.

and so does every other school. we aren't the only school that beats up on the cupcakes. you can't single this out and use it as a negative, because that is how the whole game works.

bama scored only 10 vs LSU. I guess they suck too because they didn't put up half a hundred against a good team?

This is the stuff I truly love....are you referring to their consensus 4 star, ESPN 300, QB? Or did someone else play?

Still shouldn't have happened. He may not have received great offers, but don't act like the kid isn't talented enough to play well.

Yes that's the one!

9 tds and 10 ints in the season.

Completing 54% of his passes.

Went for a near 20% of his season stats against the Vols. 415 yds and 2 TDS.

Part of the reason I still hold some hope. No matter how you feel about Jones, we had 10 wins and the East last year, for certain except.. for the defense.
I know the buck stops with the head coach in the end regardless. But I think deep down most on here know, his part wasn't what stopped us from reaching our goal last year.

He didn't do perfect either, but he did enough. Decent defense = division champs & 10 wins minimum.

Imagine last year without the injuries. Hopefully that issue (curse) won't rear it's ugly head this year. I expect good things. Not saying we are going to win the NC, but this preseason reminds me of the summer before T after Peyton.

Everyone said the same thing about Penn State last year before they blocked an OSU kick. Lost to an unranked Pitt, blown out by Michigan, beat up on weak teams. If they don't block that kick then they lose the game, don't get to play WI for the B1G or USC for the Rose. Turned out they were a good team.

My point is blocking that kick didn't make them a good team, it just changed our perception of them. Same for Northwestern. If they had played UF and beaten them by 21 everyone on here would think they were a good team. 2015 UT could compete with anyone so don't be shocked that we made a good Northwestern team look bad.

I would love to hear the plan that the anti-Butch crew has to get rid of him. Replace him with who? Completely destroy our '18 recruiting class in the process? We actually do have an amazing coaching staff now, what the hell, let's just blow it all up and see what happens right?

Be honest, you have no plan, no idea what would happen and think it's funny to call Vandy "Candy" or Gators "gators" and don't realize how ****ing lame you make yourself look. Check that, all Vol fans look. It's embarrassing.

Some of you posters will still be calling for CBJ's head even if we won the NC. You put all of the blame on him for the losses but would never give him credit for what he has done positve or if we do go 10-2 or 11-1. So guess what. We're on to you and your pathetic *****ing and moaning. Enjoy crying your way through the upcoming season. The rest of us will enjoy the positives we get. Or, you could become a bandwagon Bammer, then you can be happy, maybe....

Funny how those teams are really good teams until UT beats them - then they are mediocre. Same was said about VT - great team, going to beat UT, then UT won and VT becomes a mediocre team.

Some of you are so predictable.

Nobody said VT was a great team going into that game. They were dog **** the previous season.

Ahh, the classic "you would hate him even if he won the NC" bull****. Make an argument so outlandish, it can't possibly be proven true.

The biggest problem I have with Butch is the chest thumping and cheerleading.

Just put a lid on all of that and be genuine. Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Don't brag about "HUGE" accomplishments like 3 bowl wins in a row.

Just win. Make us proud of the team's and coaches' effort when we lose.

I'm happier with CBJ's coaching effort for the 2013 Georgia game (a loss) compared to almost every other game he's coached at Tennessee.

2013 UGA loss: He was aggressive. He didn't back down when we got down early. He played for the win. He put us in a position to win and 1 play beyond his control cost us the game.

More recently he's been overthinking it IMO. Stop making excuses. Stop bragging - let fans and/or the media do the talking about accomplishments and achievements.

Just shut up and win.
