Would it be inappropriate to smoke a cigar when he gets canned?

You want to hear something that will drive you to drink ? (Sorry to ruin your Saturday lol)

That fool got FIVE years not four.

Funny how it seemed like a lifetime looking back on it. Hated the hire, but not like anyone else really wanted the gig by that point. First year was meh. Second year, maybe just maybe we are starting to turn a corner. Years 3-4 were just disappointing all around-all that talent with really no accomplishments. Lost a bunch of games we had no business losing. Year five was just a race to the bottom. That 2017 season was one of the most depressing things I have ever witnessed.

I think he tanked that last season to hasten his firing and buyout. Considering that, I wish him nothing but the worst in his ‘career’.

That’s easy to say looking back. Who was calling for his head after 2015? No one and nor should they have been at that point. It’s easy to look back now and say this or that. Even I’m doing it as I’m saying he was a bad hire but I’m sure I wasn’t saying that after 2015. He did run that stupid read option his first year with Worley though when Worley basically never ran the ball (maybe twice all year?). That was enormously stupid and a huge red flag.

That and not being able to speak English. He tried so hard to look smart but came across as a moron.

absolutely. He had nothing to do with the win against us when he fired one up, so you should be able to fire one up since you won’t have anything to do with his firing

I knew we were screwed after the first game of 17. We played GT in the MB dome (or was it still Georgia Dome then?). Was at that game and was painfully obvious our players had no interest in being there. Even the fanbase in attendance had a visceral reaction to the turnover trash can when it first appeared-think Botch lost most of them that night. How we squeaked out a win is beyond me-more a function of GT being horrible and collapsing than any skill on the part of UT. Lord knows we were never gonna out coach anyone with Botch at the helm.

We won only because the GT QB made a terrible decision on their last play. If he makes the obvious choice on the pitch option they walk in for the winning TD.

Aside from Butchie boi, I couldn't help but laugh at seeing Napier on the list as he enters year 2. Year 2? What a state the game has reached when a guy with one year under his belt is considered "on the hot seat".

Who works for Quick Hook Florida.

We are so blessed to have Heupel. Take Butch on one end of the spectrum. He was so bullheaded that he literally ran read option an entire year with a QB that maybe kept the ball twice all year. Maybe. Now take Heupel. One of my biggest gripes with him his first year with us was our short yardage offense. We always ran 3rd or 4th and short out of the shotgun and we rarely converted. So did Heup stick with it year 2, like almost every coach in the country does? Nope. He put in an under center package and our conversion rate was way better. And I absolutely love that we force teams to play differently than they want to play. The easiest example is our offensive pressure forces teams to go for 4th downs way more than they normally would. We are in great hands.

Butch Jones will probably be fired during the 2023 season by Arkansas State.

If Sark doesn't pull his weight he could be a candidate to be Arky State's next coach

always thought grunge was overrated; too much flannel

Soundgarden & Nirvana rocked though.

 

[Probably_in_Class]

Nah. Just don't like the piece of crap. I never "bought" what he was selling... him taking the buyout and getting coffee for Saban until it ran out just confirmed my suspicions.

No. I don't like him as a person. He isn't a good coach.

For someone you claim to not like, its odd you let him live rent free in your head.

Alice In Chains also. Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, and Chris Cornell were 3 of the best front men ever. All gone too soon. RIP.
