The thing is, 8-4 doesn't tell the story of this years team. Remember needing OT against APP St? Needing a miracle hailmary (still sweet) against a .500 GA team? How about putting up 700 yards against aTm and still losing? Losing to SC and Vandy!!! THIS is what Butch Jones football is all about.

Time to go coach hunting! Can i get an amen?!?!

Butch is here at least thru 2018 boys. Learn to live with it for awhile.

He's got 2017. Unless he improves (not likely) he won't be here in 2018 and rightfully so.

Before tonight I thought he'd get 18 as a decision year. A loss to Vandy definitely makes 17 the decision year.

He needs to improve dramatically as a coach to make it. Befor tonight I was doubtful he would make it. Now it will shock the shat out of me if he's here in 18.

Amen. Saw someone say it on twitter best. This is a 6-6 team that stole wins from App State and Georgia.

Year 4 summary for Butch: Recruited enough talent to be 11-1, but "Butched" it to 8-4.

I think Butch will try to leave on his own. I think he can't take the heat here. His stock only goes down if he stays another year and he knows it.

We weren't prepared for any game this year. He's a thin-skinned mid-major level coach. He will quit.

Negative.

The curtain has been pulled back and he has been exposed for what he's not. Some caught on to the signs earlier than others. He's gone after 17 unless we are lucky enough that his agent finds a buyer.

No. Through 2017? Unfortunately, yes. But 2018?.....if he fails anywhere nearly as miserably next year as he did this year, there's no way he's here for year six. He should be fired now, but he obviously won't be. But 2017 is his last year at Tennessee IMO.....and his firing will have come a year too late.

Preach it brother!

The board wanted me strung up for saying if Butch lost 4 games, he'd be on the hot seat. Well by god he's on it now regardless of what idiot UT fans think.

It would not surprise me if some of you were correct and he bails.

He can't deal with criticism. He was mistaken to think he could talk his way past poor football. When he started talking about his accomplishments after missing Atl it was easier to see he was disgruntled with being pressed.

Our best hope is that he does walk before the roster resembles what Dooley left.

Look at the signature wins this year.

Penn state beat OSU
Iowa beat Michigan
Navy beat Houston
Memphis beat Houston
Pitt beat Clemson
UK beat Louisville

These are signatures wins for these coaches given their program's status. Do you see Butch beating ANY of those teams? Penn state is the most incredible, Butch doesn't have **** on what that program has gone through. And they are one game away from the playoffs. AND he took their DC. I just do not see us as a team that could put together a stunning victory. Our coaches seem to get so tight when we have a lead and piss it away on both sides of the ball. We play not to lose, which is how you lose. You could feel before the end of the first half we were in a lot of trouble with Vandy and probably going to lose. They made adjustments, once again our team wanders out of the tunnel and plays as bad or worse than before. It can't all be injuries. And if you want to play that game, what does it say about recruiting that the "next man up" doesn't seem to understand football? Think he'll get coached up over the summer? We have misfired on three coaches in a row. We have wasted a ton of money trying to hire someone on the cheap to compete. I don't think they'll fire Butch because no one wants to admit this many mistakes. We'll get another year of 1-0 each week, intensity, perseverance, and ultimately wasted potential and mediocrity on the field. We have certainly gotten what we paid for.

Great post, "Butched" it & choked away the sugar bowl, the sugar bowl to what now, the Belk.

Man, I wish he were gone effective immediately Wish our AD wouldn't let him travel back to K-town with the team since he is not worthy. Instead of hushing his critics and finishing strong he ignites a firestorm by losing to candy & further thrusts the program into negative publicity.

Recruiting will be negatively impacted too. Way to go Butch.

Sucks to get "Butched"
