Man.. I'm hating this thread. Reality is, Butch is 3-0. At this point, this is a future conversation. We've been burned by Dooley, and understand that a "Dooleyesque" meltdown would have to occur before Butch gets relieved of his duties. Do we really want to endure another one of those? That's what it's going to take. Another 5 years of wandering in the wilderness?
I think as bad as it seems, we should pump the brakes on this. We have talent. We have injuries. It is apparent this isn't the year we make it to the playoffs, however I am seeing some things to be optimistic about.
What are they?
We've got a RS qb that looks to be everything Dobbs is, and is more accurate as a passer. I see Tuttle coming on strong. Warrior and Byrd showing flashes of greatness. Kongbo is rough around the edges, but playing quite well.
We all want instant gratification (and yes, after what we've been through over the last decade, we deserve it, right?).
It is what it is. Watching Bama today, I don't think we can stay on the field with them. The way to beat Bama is with the deep ball and unless we get that, it ain't happening.
Unfortunate the injuries before Florida. We just may be cursed there, but I think we still have a pretty good shot at them. If we win, we will win it on Dobb's legs. He's a warrior and I think, barring injury, he'll take that game and put it on his shoulders.
Not only 3-0, but we have an 8 game winning streak. I know folks are panicking but it's been worse. Way worse.
Think UGA isn't having the same conversations? We got a good shot against them as well, and very well could end up in Atlanta. Just hang in there and support this team.
