VFL is correct. I agree with you. 5 years ago, no one would take the coaching job at Tennessee. Only CBJ. Today, Florida was favored and at home. Refs did not call numerous penalties including holding on the last play. I saw a gator hit Kelly with his fist and there was no call, it was quick and not many people saw it. It still took a miracle for those ah's to beat us today. and we the Tennessee Vols in the end will finish better than florida. and we beat umass by 40 next week. I expected us to go 7 - 6 this year, after this game we go 10 - 3 IMO. Thank you VFL! Rest of you get a grip there is 10 more games to go. GOVOLS. I am proud of you win or lose.
Dude I've been with you and would have posted this same exact post until tonight. Every season I get excited and try to think positive and think maybe, just maybe Butch has finally learned from his past mistakes. Maybe he's learned how to manage a game. But it never comes. This was the motherload of coaching blunders. I've never seen anything like it and the fact that the same mistakes were repeated multiple times throughout the game just solidifies it for me. The fact that he can walk to the podium and put the blame on "poor execution" and "missed opportunities" makes me completely dislike the man. He basically blamed the players as he's done for 5 years now. A real head coach would take ownership.
I'm in no one's "corner". I support my coach until the facts are in. I don't let others sell me their opinions as such.
I am not defending his in game decision making. But he said this is on me. How is that not taking ownership ? East is so bad and getting LSU may be a break this year. This team is talented and could and probably will win eight games. What this did today is shake my faith that Butch can win a championship here. But will still be pulling for this team regardless who the coach is on the sideline. We have the talent.
Was pretty much out after the UMass game. Left out the hope they represented against UGA. Didn't fantasize a win but wanted them to show up. Butch lost the team after Florida.
