The key issue is that even if everyone believed that Butch has topped out, that we have no confidence in our AD to make a good hire (based on their track record and the current state of affairs).

Excellent. So we are basically stuck then. Next year is going to be a rough one. Rebuilding AGAIN if you will.

"Rebuilding" will replace this year's "injuries" excuse.

SOME of the people on this board think that an SEC championship is their birthright as a Vol fan. They cite our big stadium , rich history , committed fanbase ( many of whom should be) and rake Jones over the coals cause we are not there yet. They conveniently overlook that Fla, LSU and Bama have won MULTIPLE ncS SINCE 98 when we did. They have just as much money, fan support , pay their coaches as much if not more than we do. Fla,LSU, and Texas A&M all lost at least 4 games this year and their fans , though unhappy, are not ready to panic. grow up and deal with the fact that Sabans run at Bama is a once every 40-50 year freak occurrence and as long as he remains there, no one can unseat him and the redneck Tide . As Clay Travis has said" the other 13 teams would be better off if they each gave 3 million to a fund used to bribe Saban not to coach" Short of that - we will all be playing for second place . Histrionics and whining are pointless. So- get off Butchs back and remember how the Dooley saga found new and unique ways to make our football lives painful. Oh the humanity.

This has to be one of the most naïve posts I've read in a while here on VN. And that is saying a lot.

There are Vol fans joining the military this year that haven't seen the Vols win an SEC championship. Sometime during those 18 years the Vols should win more than 0 of them. Stop accepting average. Oh wait, we ain't even average at that rate.

SEC East Titles, don't have any since 2007.

SEC Championships, don't have any since 1998.

10 win seasons, don't have any since 2007.

Excuses, we have the world record since 2001.

Champions of Life, we are the reigning Champions of Life.

Jake I said stuff happens and it does. Otherwise why play the games? .

Yes. When that "stuff" results in poor football and L's it doesn't just get defined just as "stuff" because it makes everybody feel better.

Coaches are also graded on how they deal with stuff. The good ones get over it.

if there was a term "football purgatory", it would have us as the definition of it.
