1...When coaches get fired there IS always good players that transfer out so we WOULD lose some of our best players that came to play for buTch and this staff.
That leave our player roster not as good as we have now.
Also recruits that are commits now would also change their minds and sign somewhere else and that would make our player roster even weaker.
2...When AD Hamilton was fired and AD Hart replaced him our AD was basically bankrupt plus we ARE still paying CDD for his huge buyout so we do NOT have the money to pay a buyout for buTch and this staff.
3...Since Fulmer was fired Tennessee now has a national reputation as a coaching merry-go-round where no coach is ever given enough time to recruit at least 4 or 5 years of his type of players to match the systems and rebuild the program back up to a top 10 team where our rabid fans expects us to be every year.
4...In the NFL the Oakland Raiders have the reputation of where coaches go to destroy their Head Coaching career and now, unfortunately, Tennessee has that same reputation in the college world.
The ONLY way that buTch would get fired is if the huge money boosters agreed to put up the many millions of $$$ if will take to buyout the contract that buTch and staff have now AND if they agreed to put up many Millions of $$$ more to throw serious money at a well known, experienced, winning coach that's also proven to be a great recruiter.
College is ALL about great recruiting every year to keep the player roster full of top players at every position and there's NOT many coaches that can bring in top 10 recruiting classes every year consistently enough to stay a top SEC team unfortunately.
Our best bet now is that buTch and staff can get it all together and WIN most of our games this year and bring in another top recruiting class to keep building our player roster.
buTch will finish out his current contract because of a serious lack of money so we also better hope that Neyland keeps selling out every game to help with our AD money worries.
I have to keep remembering that we are only 2 good D plays away from being undefeated and 4-0 right now.
We are a much better footVol team already than we've been in many years and I can only hope that buTch and staff will get it all together fast.
