As I was thinking about Butch during the first year of his coaching some people would call into talk shows or on VolNation saying Butch has not won a big game and I would defend him and back him saying, "He does not have a good QB his defense is made of a rag tag bunch of Dooley left overs, he is competing against the SEC whereas Dooley was not even competing and most people thought this was a positive step so big game or "signature" wins would come or if you count the USC game as that then good things were to come.
Year two comes around and Butch is still using the same slogans and lingo and I thought "you know give Butch a break it is a little quirky but it is getting a top 5 recruiting class in the house (Hurd, Malone, Barnett)." He still did not get a BIG win or that "signature" win that tell everyone that UT is back. I let it go and ignored and said Butch is the man!!
Year three I thought to myself NO excuses this year no new offensive line and defensive line, no playing 13 freshman as starters or underclassman as starters in all CFB. I was still with Butch I was over his quotes and quips that he uses. After the Oklahoma loss I just thought...UGGHHH this sucks lets fix it. Florida loss, was like this is the same thing I don't think they can fix this it is Butch's fault that we loss via play-calling. Arkansas it was expected, like part of the norm. That this is how the season is going to go and players cannot get over three straight of these NO MATTER what slogan or catchphrases you use. You have lost them.
Butch is going to be here this year and next year AT LEAST, please do not talk about buyouts or we are Tennessee crap that we should get Gruden or Chip Kelly etc...
Butch is like a really smooth talking car salesman that when you go and but a car you think he is different that he is not slimy and sneaky that he is truthful of what he is selling you. he tells you all the great things the car does and the great price and how he will throw in doormats and chrome wheels. You are all in and buy the car and it is SO AWESOME driving off the lot that all your friends say how what a great ride it is and can they ride in it. After the first year you have trouble but he tells you "It happens sometimes that the mechanic will fix it."
Then the more you drive the car the more problems start coming up and you have end up replacing all these parts. Before you know it you have a car that won't work but looks really really nice in your driveway that people that come over ask you about it but you say it doesn't work anymore, I was duped but I still have it because I cannot afford to get rid of it......
