Question? Is it possible that the players do not want their coach fired mid season and that is the reason a change has not been made yet? Just maybe the seniors would like to continue on with a bowl possible. That is the only sense I can make out of this.
Will be telling what questions are asked. Do they continue to lob softball questions or do they smell blood and ask some of the questions all of VN wants to hear? We will soon know.......
All I know for sure is #emptyneyland will be a VERY real thing if CBJ is still with us come Saturday.

That's actually the very interesting thing here. The players don't seem to be standing behind Butch at all. We've seen players "dig in" with coaches before; doing everything they can to fight to keep the coach's job. If anything, we've seen Vols tweet stuff indicating that they want Butch fired, which is highly unusual. Which makes it all the more bizarre that Butch is still around.
In the grand scheme of things, I'm not convinced the timing really matters that much (we can't interview candidates till December anyway), but I'm also not convinced that a whole lot of good is achieved keeping a coach around a few more weeks when he's clearly going to be fired.
