I'm not happy with Jones, I wasn't much of a Negavol until earlier this season. The GA game pretty much pushed me over the fence.

A lot of folks are forgetting that we have some great players - many who, in spite of what is going on, have been playing their butts off. Never forget that these guys will be hanging around the Lauracella center before games in the future, with other VFL's. Forget about Butch for a second and think of the players. Think of the future players that still want to come here. (Yes, I know - you'll reply and say "they won't come here with Jones"-I get that). Would they want to play where they get booed and the fan base roots for them to lose?


Water seeks it's level. It doesn't look like Jones will survive as coach. I think it's ok to turn on Butch - he gets a lot of money to produce. Just don't turn on the players.

I'll embrace the new coach just as I did Kiffen, Dooley and Jones. As bad as this season has been - I can never pull for the VOLS to lose. Ever. I've seen many good and bad days in Neyland Stadium (first game 1965). I've had a lifetime of watching orange jerseys on that field and a lot of pride goes into all of that. GBO

I want Butch gone just as much as anyone but living in Kentucky, I don’t think I could handle local UK fans talking smack if they beat us.

Another reason to fire him now before the end of the season. We should have the guy responsible for the buyout language and amount pay it and be done.

Thanks for letting us know how we should feel. But I do agree. I can't ever root for us to lose. Even when it's obvious we need to take a step back to take 2 steps forward.

The deepest, darkest recesses of my mind are actually hoping that Butch wins out so we can see the ****storm that ensues.

I wouldn’t pull for Kentucky if Dooley was still here. Butch is gone, no need for more embarrassment!

Here's an emotional mess from another thread. Bet he's a fun dude at home.

Let's go wildcats then. If Butch can save his job by winning all remaining games then I can't possibly get behind him. I know it sounds ridiculous, but if he is retained next year we will have another year of this crap.

I lived there 9 years (Louisville for 5 then Lexington for 4) after moving from Knoxville. I have a healthy dislike for both teams. I'm with you, I am still miffed they beat us in 2011 and we'd be better off if Dooley was fired then imo. I just can't deal with losing to them in football. Our dominance except for that fluke which I'm still ticked about is one of the few things we have left. Uk fans are impossible.

Hahahaha

And I thought I was the only one thinking how glorious VN would be to read if we won out and won the bowl game.


VN posters would be taking the Gay St Bridge plunge.

Just smile and say, wow that Mississippi State is playing well. Wonder if the Vols get Mullen.

I still hold to the theory that Currie told Jones he was done at the end of the year. Now some might say well why is Jones still coaching then. Well he has $8 million reasons why.

If he quits, he won't get it, he also can't really purposely tank the season to make the UT job look less attractive cause then that would make him look bad to any future employer.

It's really a Mexican stand off in a way, Jones wants that money, Currie would probably like to not give it to him. So we're where we are now.

We get it! Why do we have to post this after every game. Sick of this argument.
