Butch on final play: "We were in a nickel. But with injuries, we didn’t have a dime."

I dont care how many injuries we had--this Florida team was beyond terrible. Reminds me when Dooley lost to Kentucky with their wide receiver.

They weren't anywhere close to as bad as that Kentucky team, but they are indeed not any good. We were two touchdowns better at least. It's on the coaches.

I'm sure Scott called the play though. He isn't gonna throw him under that bus.

Agreed, but it wasn't just one play. At some point he had to intervene and say hey JK is averaging 7 yards per carry and their D is worn down, let's try him inside the 10.

Coming into the year I was still tentatively on the Butch train, I wanted to see if he could turn the corner and be a championship level head coach, and with the changes he made this offseason I was hopeful. But after what I saw this afternoon I'm off the the train, this was all coaching. I'm not going to be yelling "fire Butch" if the AD is content with 7-9 win seasons then so be it. I'll still support the team because I love Tennessee football to a fault. But as long as Butch is the coach I won't expect championships. Can he still become that level of coach? I suppose, but after 5 years if not now... when?

This team has too much talent to go 8-4. People are predicting 8-4 because they expect the coaching to drop us down a game or two. That's already happened once-- and almost twice.

Exactly why I predicted 8-4. Now even that's looking doubtful.

I am not a big fan of QD after today and throws off his back foot a lot and made some bad decisions but you must operate in facts and you have some things here that are not true at all.

Pick six though high went completely thru Calloway's hands. It is as much on him. Good WR's will normally catch that ball so it was not a given.

Touchdown to Wolfe was 28 yards and Calloway's had a longer pass for over 20. Not sure why we took 0 long shots but not him calling the plays. So that is false as well.

QD would've been good enough to win if the dumb staff had made better decisions. On that, we can agree. But this staff is horrible in game.

That pick 6 is all on the QB. A hitch shouldn't be high enough for you to have to jump at all.

Absolutely. I got shouted down for saying we weren't gonna waltz into the swamp and blow them out.

Saw a bunch of 41-16, 34-9, win by 30+, think the backups will be in by the 4th, etc etc

I got blasted for thinking UF would score 24 and we'd only score 13 on their "garbage" defense.

He should have just said "RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!"...... He's the boss you do what he says to an extent

The Florida D was gassed.

No way they were gonna stop JK4 running inside the 10. He was getting stronger as the game progressed.

Wish QD checked down to a run play and gave the rock to JK4 for the TD.

Game over and we are 3-0.

Just saw the Norvell fake FG that got intercepted.

Didn't work, but give me that every day of the week. Guy coached to win and kept the pressure on.

Fully believe your team plays with an edge when you coach aggressively.
