Does losing Florida game immediately put him on a hot seat ?
He has been able to recruit well but he hasn't won games yet.
His 4-5-star WR recruits go MIA in big games and can't get open all game.
His Junior QB doesn't have passing accuracy and Butch's offense hasn't been able to device plays to give him space to run.
Butch plays too conservative. After a 2TD lead, there were no fly sweeps, no edge rushes, no slants. He seemed to have run up the middle attitude but when Oklahoma covered the box, he had no adjustment.
This has been a case many times that once teams come back from Half time adjustment, Butch has no answer against big teams. Last year's Florida game and this year's OK game are prime examples.
When in 4th quarter with 6 minutes to go and 2 TD lead, why was Butch still running a hurry up offense. You can chew around 1.50 off the clock on each 3 downs. Even with two 3-and-out that leaves OU 3 minutes to score 2 TDs and with 2 first downs game is over (barring time outs).
Butch is yet to win a game he is underdog in barring Spurrier. His teams have now multiple times (GA, FL, MO, VN, OU) floundered leads and lost games.
If we go 7-5 this year (strong possibility if we lose to FL), he will have ALMOST same record as Dooley. Given he recruits miles better than Dooley, does that mean he is worse at coaching the game than Dools ?
So how long is the leash on BUTCH ?
