11/26/2016 - Instead of Josh Dobbs fumbling at midfield, he goes on to lead the Vols into the endzone and the Vols end up beating Vandy. They go on to win the Sugar Bowl.

Butch Jones then signs a 5 year contract extension. Without the doubt of Butch Jones impending firing looming over potential recruits we go on to sign a top 5 class this year including Trevor Lawrence and Cade Mays, even after a 5-7 finish. I think with the Sugar Bowl momentum we end up winning an additional game this year that we didn't win.

So Volnation, if that scenario played out do you think we are in a better or worse spot at this point in time. Sugar Bowl victory last year, and a top 5 class - But Butch Jones is our coach for 5 more years. OR where we are now. Just goes to show you football is a game of inches and breaks.

True, so almost makes it seems to be a good thing we didn't reach the Sugar Bowl last year. That would have for sure bought him some more time. What a difference a year makes. How many people would have believed Fulmer would be AD and Pruitt would be coach if I had told you that this time last year?

Butch Jones can recruit, but he's a poor football coach, all things considered:popcorn:

What if John Majors never had heart issues, how many Natty's would he have won?
The cupboards were loaded with NFL talent. He'd already won a NC at Pitt.

What if he had surpassed the General, what if ?

He wouldn’t have won any Nattys here. He was 0-16 in that department as Tennessee’s head coach, was 5-3 his last year and had outstayed his welcome at that point. No reason whatsoever to believe he was ever gonna win a natty here.

WUT, I thought we we're playing the what if game.

What if Phil had worked harder and coasted less in his final years.

Any staff with Butch Jones on it definitely leans to the "worse" category. 100% of the time.

Butch Jones would f up a wet dream, so he would have screwed up somewhere in there, somehow.

Tennessee lost a 11-1 season last year(11-2 after loss to Bama in SECCG) due to lack of fundamentals (ball security was terrible) but Oklahoma would have scored 50 easily on the Shoop 2016 defense. 11-3 would have been the best they could have done.

Has any team in SEC history gone from SECCG to 0-8 in one season?

Didn’t Chizik do something similar? From national championship game to 3 win season or something?

Edit: it took two seasons but yes.

What if the phantom TD pass "caught" by Florida was ruled correctly, a drop?

What if Shuler wins Heisman? What if Manning wins Heisman? What if Cutcliffe stayed at Tennessee and does not go to Ole Puss. Eli plays for Tennessee and beats out Clausen and Clausen transfers? What if we had beaten LSU in SECCG and advanced to National Championship?

Life would have been so much sweeter these past 15 years
