I can't support Butch anymore

im 45 and im right there with ya



Dobbs had 83 passing yard the entire game. I was at the game and we still did not get the ball to our playmakers in space espically the middle of the field. Horrible.

On a note I was in line with a player parents and they are just as pissed as we all are at the offensive plan on passing. If they don't start getting the ball to our wide receivers then we are in for a long season.

Personal debord better look in the mirror or he might not make the season let alone the year. I like all vol fans am very pissed at the talent being wasted on passing. Bad.

Over his cliches and excuses. Thanks for building our talent back up, but he can gtfo now so we can get a real coach that can do something with this talent.

All I have to say is:

If Dobbs can't throw the ball better than today and the staff is so afraid that they only allow him to throw for 25 yards in the first half, we need to start over starting with the qb.

He only had 83 yds the entire game bc our coaching staff doesn't trust him.

Begin to blow it up at qb and start dormady next week. We have to be able to throw to win. This is not high school football!.

I think we have the wrong coach, but while he is still here maybe he could start with splitting playing time with Dobbs/Dormady and call some pass plays.
 
This is the most embarrassing football i have seen in the 44yrs i have been on this earth.

Right there with, I am 43 been a vol fan since the age of 6, living here in Alabama and even Alabama fans are no longer laughing but wishing Tennessee kids could turn the program around. Kind of like the now helpless kid every one wants to win...
This is getting pretty darn pathetic for these coaches to be allowed to get rich and rob the kids of pride in all they work for week in and week out. To buy in and for the head man to slap out fail and deny them the opportunity to be elite. He needs to be gone as well as his best coaching staff. Position coaches are outstanding, but there is plenty of talent there, the university is in the top 15 in the country in team revenue. We should have plenty of resources to get man in here to right this ship!

i live in huntsville, very true about bama fans. we are no threat to them anymore. they feel very sorry for us. i hear every monday about how they were pulling for us but we let another slip away. very uncomfortable having the gumps look down on us. makes you feel like ut is a joke.
 
Fully agree! We've lost 2 games by a total of what...7 points? Was is Bowling Green, who's beaten both Maryland AND Purdue? Was it some other FCS team that's beaten us? We all need to take a breath and stop firing our coach every week. THAT is what's embarrassing!

What is embarrassing is the wasted talent we have not being used at WR. Throw the damn ball! That is all on the coach. If Dobbs can't do it let dormady try or split time between the two. Just throw the damn ball!

People need to wake up and pay attention to this post--- PLAYER PARENTS are getting pissed. Let that sink in.

Just got home from Gainesville. I've had a little time to settle down. Gotta say...pretty pissed yesterday and a lot of what has been said on the site is hard to disagree with. The season is not over, and I believe Butch will get one more year. I thought 2016 would be the "big" year. Now, not so sure that we'll do any different from I've seen so far. Butch has some big decisions to make about his offensive assistants (coaches). I expected us to beat Florida yesterday but was sadly disappointed and frustrated at the coaching. One more year of this kind of coaching and he most definitely will be gone.

GO VOLS!

This is pretty much how I feel RV. He better get this turned around now,and I mean win out. I'm pretty sure if he keeps making bone headed decisions next season like he has so far this season...he's not going to have a job,and rightfully so.
 
Take a listen to Doug Matthews. Life long vol fan and hits a nail on head.
Vol fans if we can't get a balance offense and start hitting our receivers, then it's going to be a long season. I Bleed orange like the rest of us. I was at the game yesterday and it was sickening. Best word I could find their folks. Gator fans don't respect us and dam sure don't fear us. Anyway, Something interesting here was we were in line with a players parents and they are just as pissed with the lack of receiver play and lack of middle the field production as the rest of us.
Thanks, I needed to vent. Lol. Gotta laugh at this sh!t

Now we hear "money" come into the argument. McElwain is the real deal? Did that dude even know how to answer a question from a sideline reporter? You think JM "outcoached" Butch Jones? Would you rather have JM in Knoxville? I wouldn't.

You think we'll even think about hiring another coach before Dooley is paid off? I wouldn't think so. Thus, CBJ has this year and next to get things really going. Not sure you understood what I was trying to say.

Also, JM out coached Butch. Pretty much everyone on this board seems to think so. Didn't say I wanted him in Knoxville, but he looks more like the real deal now than what's in Knoxville.

But hey, we all have our opinions.
It's all good.
 
I'm wondering if Butch is the problem or symptomatic of a University system that is no longer committed to athletic excellence? They remain quick to stick out their hands to demand elite program financial support, but are consistently short on delivering an elite program.

I've been attending UT games since the '60's and have been a season ticket holder for at least 15 years. I'm tired of pouring money and emotional equity into a half-azz program. What say ye Board of Trustees?

No sir YOU are clueless and always have been...Yeah lets go fire Jones and hire some mid major coach who you will wet your pants over and gush and say he will take us to the promised land and when he starts losing you will want to fire him too and the process starts all over again..Jones isn't the best out there but he is a hell of a lot better than some of the losers sitting around waiting for a shot at the big time...No top coach wants to come here...NONE

We already hired a mid major coach. Butch.

And if the administration is cheap, nobody will come. Same way for any job. But nice try...
 
Yesterday's ridiculous loss will reverberate through signing day. What WR would actually want to come to TN after an 83 yard performance? What kid would want to play for a coach that chokes harder than mama cass??

And since we're not using our WR's, maybe we can see if one or two of them can play DB. That alone might have made the difference against OU and UF.

If we're not gonna throw them the ball, then let someone else do it, right?

Go Vols.
 
WOW! all the dumba$$es on one post........good work. Can one you just keep posting this crap so everyone can see how shallow you life is, I just hope the wife and kids are ok after seeing their Dad or whatever act like an idiot because UT lost a football game.

I will not underestimate any of you Negative Nancys......go to another team, none us will miss you or the team. If you are so fricken brave to write this ignorant post, just go up to UT, find any football player and just tell them........you suck! please let us fans know, I haven't seen a good a$$ kicking in a long time.

Meanwhile FL is 4-0 and TN 2-2. FL exceeding expectations and back in the top 25. One coach in his first year of a rebuild without back to back top 5 recruiting classes and finding ways to win. Beat TN with a RS Freshman QB, freshman WR, very young & inexperienced offensive line. TN coach on the other hand keeps finding ways to lose.

Respectfully must disagree with you. I don't think people's lives are shallow because they are venting on a message board. Quite the contrary...good folks are TIRED of losing, TIRED of the excuses, TIRED of 'brick by brick' slogans without results.

He is a terrible in game coach.

Agree.

I am in no way calling for his return, simply using him as an example of an aggressive offensive coach.

If Lane Kiffin had Oklahoma and Florida down by 13-14 points in the second half of the 4th quarter, he would have cranked up the heat to put the game away. We also would have scored 1-2 more times in each game, sitting in the top 15 at 4-0.

Butch is coaching big boy ball now. He cannot not sit on a 2 score lead.
