He and Bill Battle are on par in my lifetime. Both started out good with another man's players. They left the program in shambles. Battle because he never recruited anyone good. Butch because he forgot strength and conditioning is a thing that players need to participate in.

Good post. It took the better part of two decades for Majors to undo the damage of Battle. He really is probably the worst coach in UT history. They both left the program nuked into oblivion.

Lol because i don’t think Butch is the worst coach in the history of college football and because i don’t make every excuse for and follow Pruitt like a sheep? I like Pruitt, but he did good things and bad things in his first year. Don’t know why it’s so hard to admit that.

He did but I feel like he is a football coach. We have not had one of those since Kiffin. Kiffin is a football coach but he’s an immature brat as well. We have a shot with Pruitt that we didn't have with the last two.

What did Dooley leave behind? Same thing as butch. Bad roster, bad culture, ect. The difference is Butch actually had a few enjoyable years. You’re telling me you felt better about our program at the end of 2012 than you did in 2017? Or 2013 vs 2018? I sure didn’t...

Actually I’ll say I d feel better about now than I did with 2013 but that’s because of Pruitt not anything butch did

Yep
It’s not their fault they are good.... someone needs to step up and knock them off. What does burns what to do, are they gonna take schollys away from the top four playoff teams each year to try and even it out lol

I did hear a suggestion to reduce scholarship limits for everyone. The discussion was that about 55 out of 85 only really play in a season, and kids are transferring a lot these days. Even if you reduce it to 78, you even it out a little.

It’s more that I’m taking up for some of the players that he brought in here. I’ve seen them totally change their practice schedule, bodies, workouts commitment etc. some of them aren’t as good as we hoped but they aren’t a bunch of pathetic quitters. Idgaf about butch. I just don’t want the players to be blamed for every loss but get no credit for the wins. That goes for JG too. He even gets some credit from me lol

Come...freakin...on..man..🤬

Coaches....Players...Media...hell everybody except a few guys untruthful guys like you know this team had a bunch of cancer..pure cancer..hell you seem to be part of that.

I love guys that truly give their all no matter how bad they are, but have nothing but disgust for the soft grabby quitters..

I get that you are somehow personally close to some of those players. I think you wouldn't tell the truth of it for that reason. Hell maybe you are too close to some guys to admit it.

The program was no where near as devastated, radioactive and hopeless when Bitch took over. That is on him.

I disagree. I know what you think about our talent this year, but Dooley left a worse roster. I don’t even understand how someone can debate it. But it’s what this place does.

This thread today is why UT has to improve next year and make a bowl. I can't imagine it next year when Clemson and Bama are in the playoff again and UT having not seen improvement.
