This might sound CRAZY, but Franklin (PSU) was in the same predicament last year we are in now. They somehow turned it around and won out. Now Franklin has an extension. Just sayin. Fyi I am on the "get off butch bandwagon"

You're not wrong. The coaches made plenty of mistakes, but it's not like we can't point to plays where player execution would've lead to a win.

I would love for Butch to prove me wrong and will continue to root for that. But I won't live and die week to week because my expectations for this season have lowered

Whelp, time for me to say screw it and just root for a total cluster to happen in the college football world.

Hey, I heard OSU fans are getting a little worried up there.

I have said it before and hoped Larry Scott would remedy it.
Early in his tenure Butch said, "we think plays, not players." Philosophically he is more focused on drawing up the perfect play than simply getting it to his best player. This manifest on full display on the 1st and goal from the 1 series. A decision like that is literally an ideology that Butch holds...draw up plays regardless of who is on the field. But if Larry Scott calls two runs up the gut with Kelly, I doubt Butch veto. It was a failure all the way around.

Butch has been just short of terrible as far as getting his best players the football on a consistent basis. Callaway didn't get near as many targets as he should have gotten today. When you get to a certain point in the game, especially when you're inside the 20, you dance with the one that brung you. Those two guys were Kelly and Callaway. Nobody else on offense was doing anything outside of a little Chandler.

People were still talking about player execution and mistakes in 2012 too.

Not sure if pointed at me, but I only meant it in a we can still have some enjoyable moments this season due to the players on the team way. Not trying to stand up for Butch because I think he's living on borrowed time, just trying to find the silver lining and stay positive since it's only week 3

Even the best players make mistakes every game. Coaches making that many eggregious play calls like we saw today is completely inexcusable for the money they make.

Should be left on the tarmac.

Felt like we could use something like that in here tonight. Going to be a rough season fellas. Try to laugh as much as possible.

I agree. People need to get behind the players and hope for success. Seems like a lot of vol fans want us to lose cause they don't like the coach or certain players.
