I’m not sure we can beat them since we can’t score

Me either but they'll still find a way to lose.

 

[USN-Retired-VOL]

I was always partial to the old drunk Majors anyway

lol that and he was a candy eating monster, we played his sons team Bearden High school in a bowl game in 83 and he must have ate like 3-4 big bags of candy

 

[joevol33]

Me either but they'll still find a way to lose.

Let’s hope!

"Butch has reached a buyout agreement and is gone Sunday 100%" lol, people will be exposed today

Yep. About 75% of the "insiders" will be exposed come tomorrow morning with no Butch firing.

 

[wildorange]

You heard any rumblings this weekend? Everyone knew we would lose. No one knew their 2nd and 3rd string was going to beat our ****ing breaks off for 95% of the second half.

They should have known. Good grief we are winless in the SEC and he has been here 5 years. There is nothing to decide if we are serious about winning in the SEC. And that is FACT! SOON!!!!! GBO!!!!

 

[Volstylexx]

Yeah that and grow up fans of other teams because they're embarrassed to say they're a TN fan. I used to never see Bama fans where I live. The orange was always represented. They're everywhere now. smh

We can be 0-12, coached by a squirrel and I’ll never, ever be embarrassed to say I’m a TN fan.

in the last 10 years we are 26-50 in the SEC. We have a long way to go (no matter who they hire) to begin winning in the SEC.

 

[TJ1985]

Thanks.... that actually makes sense

Doesn't your inside source keep up with LWS on VN?

 

[KeyVol14]

Beaver your not fooling anyone with half a brain

 

[Coastypop]

I believe Butch's contract has been posted before on one the sites. If you dig you can probably find it.

LWS post concerning this is correct.... I took someone's word and was to lazy to look it up :thud:

 

[VFLnSFD]

I always thought that was the beginning of the downfall of Tennessee football :banghead2:

Seriously! I was at that game...we were on our way to the rose bowl. Heartbroken about it still.

I never said my source was God.... just seems to be correct in coaching searches

 

[Coastypop]

We had the opportunity to be the dominate team in the SEC and we blew it because we refused to adjust

Inside source lol

This

In ‘88 I was in Memphis when we started 0-6. I was asked by friends why I still wore orange. My response “why would I not. Go big Orange.”

 

[joevol33]

Yep. About 75% of the "insiders" will be exposed come tomorrow morning with no Butch firing.

It’s gonna be interesting

 

[UTVolinExile]

his buyout is 2.5 million per year based on contract date which runs from March 1 to end of Feb each year. If fired prior to a March 1 date, then he will be paid a prorated amount per day of that 2.5 million for that year he is fired.

For those who may still doubt LWS, that's almost word for word the exact language of Butch's contract.

 

[Volwark]

BS.

You also said Butch would be fired. More woukd have leaked by now if either was true.

 

[Grand Vol]

Can Arkansas afford the buyout?

Could they not? Apparently, if they wait through the end of this season, the buyout gets dropped significantly. They also have the Walton family as the big money folks and it's not like they are hurting for cash.

Arkansas gives Bret Bielema raise, extension through 2020 - CBSSports.com

As illustrated by ArkansasFight.com, the contract's buyout terms are extremely friendly to Bielema, who would be owed $15.4 million if he's fired any time before 2018 and a minimum of $7.9 million if if he's fired any time before 2020.

Not sure at what point in 2018 that takes effect. Anyway, like UT, I don't see them waiting that long on a new coach.

 

[ER Vol]

I look at this and it makes me want to puke a little. Then I think about when Fla hired a no name coach from Utah. That worked out pretty well. And then Arkansas hired a winning, very well respected coach "that shocked the world", and how did that work out for them.

I don't know what to think anymore except we need a change.

 

[Aesius]

For those who may still doubt LWS, that's almost word for word the exact language of Butch's contract.

Anyone can look up his contract. He's a state employee.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Beaver your not fooling anyone with half a brain

While this may be true, at least he is sticking to his guns and not backing down..

SOON

:devilsmoke:

 

[Coastypop]

in the last 10 years we are 26-50 in the SEC. We have a long way to go (no matter who they hire) to begin winning in the SEC.

A very telling statistic for the state of the program for the last ten years

I agree
