Where did it predict Butch Jones, or anyone else would fired by November?
He predicted 5 coaches would be fired, then listed 6 that are currently on the hot seat. We all know those are, and others he did not bother to mention. He didn't predict any specific coach would be in the 5. What is so outrageous about that?
Seems like some of the posters here are making this news, not the writer of the article.
"At least five Power Five coaches will not make it to November: That's a lot of fives. We are in a day and age now in college football where schools refuse to wait before making a coaching change -- or, at the very least, get the process started. Les Miles was infamously fired by LSU last September after losing to Auburn when he probably should have been released after the end of the 2015 season. October is the new December and there are a number of coaches on the hot seat entering this season...."
Which coach is he predicting to be fired?
I don't even see this guy's prediction as particularly bold.
The opener against Tech is a game that Tennessee should win but is by no means a sure thing. If we drop that one and then lose to either/both Florida or Georgia, which aren't games Tennessee necessarily should win, then I think we all know that Butch's seat would be thermonuclear. If we are 2-3 going into the bye, would they fire him? I don't think it is totally out of the realm of possibility.
I actually think we can lose to Tech, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and LSU and he keeps his job, but only because of the buyout. Butch's floor is 6-6. If he does any better than that, I think he stays.
We had a very good class coming last year. Then we didn't. I'm not counting a single freaking chicken that isn't solidly in the coop.
I'm not really sure who "they" is. Honestly, I'm speaking for myself here. I wish I knew why Haslam was so set on Currie. As I've said before, I'm ignorant on the whole "big donor" thing. What's in it for Haslam? What does he "get" or expect in return?
In my ignorance, I may not be asking the questions in the right way or even asking the right questions, but I do know Haslam has more "influence" than I thought he did before hiring Currie and I just wonder what he's thinking.
Anyway, just "thinking out loud".
They'll never find a better coach or a more loyal guy to the program. That's a reality that would make me hesitate. Freeze is one guy that would never leave Ole Miss, unlike 99.9% of all other coaches.
We hardly got done with this exchange and Delong flips to Bama. Why anyone would assume anything with this group baffles me.I hear ya. Stuff like this doesn't help. I do believe Cade Mays is helping recruit Tennessee talent and the 18 class will be special. Also Butch has made some good hires. If another coach is needed to take us to the next level then bring it.
Seems you are missing the point. Allow me to enlighten you. The dingle brain who started this thread made that assertion in the subject. Most of us chose not to click on the link, because the more people who do so tells them we want more such articles.
It's typical June horse crap. Just because you cleverly try to justify it doesn't change that fact. All you really did was put Kool Whip on horse crap. That doesn't make it dessert, does it? If you think so, bon appetite.
"They" = Currie and his associates in the AD, in consultation with boosters
Best suggestion of the year. Pr+@Ks supposedly representing a company like Dell selling malware and scamming you on the side. I have a friend who was new to computers that got the shaft right up the wazoo.
Maybe your reading comprehension needs as much work as the "dingle brain that started this thread". I did not miss the point, your point is exactly the point I was making: The article does not support the assertion of the OP.
Your second paragraph is useless, does not add to the conversation, and frankly runs a close second in ignorance to the "dingle brain that started this thread".
