Only fitting that Butch gets bumped to worst. You are who you are, once you get out of the shadows of Brian Kelly and Saban you get exposed as in over your head as a leader.
Wonder how many "Brick by Brick" t-shirts are still floating around? Butch get it! LOL!!!

"Despite those challenges, Heupel led Tennessee to a 7-5 record in 2021. The Vols will look for their eighth win of the year next week in the Music City Bowl against Purdue. If Tennessee wins that game, it will give the Vols their second-best record since 2007 (tied with Pruitt’s 2019 squad that went 8-5)"

How is that? We had two 9-4 seasons under Jones.

Damn I was sure Saban was to Butch like Mr Miyagi was to the Karate Kid. I felt sure that wax on, wax off on Saban’s Mercedes would teach Butch some valuable coaching lessons he could use in life.

How do you Botch a Sun Belt job?

Football Coaches - Arkansas State University

I just took a peek at his staff. His son Alex is doing Offensive QC, and Zac Jancek is on the defensive side of it. He has Chance Hall as a grad assistant. As to the rest, there is none of them I have heard of, and compared to the staff he brought here from Cincinnati? I have to conclude this bunch is a far cry from what he brought to Tennessee. I think some were retained from Blake Anderson's staff. And he has brought some folks from different places, but none are familiar at all.

Edit: One thing is for sure upon closer inspection; Saban did not cure him of his strange fascination with the I word.

Lol, I don't know but he's the only Tennessee HC coach in 17 years that can say he beat the unbeatable gaters.
Butch was obviously a bad hire, but he’s also the only coach to get us to 9 wins two years in a row in quite some time and he didn’t leave us with any major program scandals save bad recruiting. Butch is universally defined as a bad coach, but there’s a good bit of the fanbase that defends Pruitt. I’ll never understand it.

Ftr, I'm not defending Butch. Just making points, and there are several. Lol.
