Let me preface this by saying that don't blame this class on Butch, although he needs to do a lot better next year. The legacy class must be top five or GTFO.
That said, I cannot stand the whole "you can't be critical or you don't support the Vols and aren't a true fan" horsesh*t.
You...
Butch had 3 10+ win years, including an 11 win year at Central Michigan. Comparable resume to Sumlin.
Yes, Sumlin had an undefeated regular season, but his conference made the Big East look like the NFC East.
Lot of people talking about the "smoke" with Lovie were also characters this offseason who spoke of "smoke" with another coach. Next time it'll be Cowher.

When comparing PRO-STYLE quarterbacks, how the do in the PRO's is the ultimate revelation of their ability.
Using you guys' logic, Greg McElroy was a better college QB than Andrew Luck.
Now, we may be arguing semantics, as I won't deny that Wuerrful accomplished more in college...
I'm from Middle Tenn and obviously support both, but the Titans have wayyyyy more casual support than the Vols.
