It does very much so have to do with UT. I was drawing in a comparison that the fan base's attitude toward the coach and the program are very similar to Clemson. Both teams are met with high expectations from the fan base only to be disappointed with 3 and 4 loss seasons. there are talent at both schools met with disappointing losses. The AD at both schools have unwavering support to their head coach. With no clear cut time line for a championship to be won, they continue to support these guys. There is growing discontent from the boosters and fans.
