Honestly, if we need to fire Butch, just give Gillespie the job. He can obviously evaluate talent. He can recruit. He can inspire players, and he can coach.
Get him a good play caller and a stellar DC...
MacIntire, Whittingham, Kelly, or Ryan. If not those 4, lets keep Butch and let him make staff changes at LB and DC if that is our problem. Butch works harder than anyone and with time he'll get it done, i believe. But he has to be careful this year. He can't let the wheels fall off or it'll be over.
I love Butch Jones. He rallies our guys, recruits like crazy, and doesn't get us in trouble. The players love him. Oh yeah, and he WINS! He may be frustrating at times with his coaching and motivating strategies but he is a guy I would love to play for and I am glad he is our coach.
Tyler Byrd, Latrell Williams, & Josh Smith are back and will practice today
Ethan Wolf has a sprained ankle is questionable this week
Evan Berry, Austin Smith, Marcus Tatum are questionable this week
We could get someone much better now than in 2012/2013. The roster has been mostly rebuilt and the program is in much better shape.
We could easily get someone like Larry Fedora, DJ Durkin, Dana Holgerson, etc. But I wouldn't want those guys.
We'd probably call Dan Mullen and Bobby Petrino. Probably call Dantonio. Probably call Taggart.
But yes, we'd have to end up hiring a G5 guy like Scott Frost.
But I don't like talking about firing a coach when there is almost 0 reason to yet this season.
Butch's Florida week press conference wasn't on youtube. They used a different media player so here is the link for anyone who wishes to watch.

Nick Saban is hurting this conference. Can not wait til he retires. That will be a day of jubilation.
