Always take the points! Never leave points on the field. A field goal beats the hell out of 0 points.

Not only is that strategy mathematically unsound and technically unsound, you're about to see the result of that type of decision making in about two hours.

It's not like four points one way or the other will decide this game, anyway.

So if we lined up and went for it and did not make it and then lost the game by 3 points would you be mad at Butch or pat him on the back for being aggresive.

Should have at least called a TO and lined up like they were going for it. Maybe Alabama lines up wrong. If you don't see anything call the last TO and kick anyway.

I don't think Jones has a very good grasp on game management.

You don't live life nor coach a football game on what ifs. You make the mathematically, strategically, intelligently correct thought out move. That's what should be done.

Dramatic? I've not made one post calling for Butch to be fired. Nor saying Bajakian is terrible. Nor talking how this team is terrible. Nor how we won't make a bowl game yet again. I've said nothing like that. Not dramatic at all.

You should either post less or become an FBS head coach. I'm betting you can't do either...

You started the post with "You don't live life . . . ".

I'll tell you what I won't do....I won't make a rude off color post to a fellow Vol fan like you just did. I want UT to win as much as you do. I see no value in making comments to other Vol fans like you did to me.

I like the call. If we went for it and didn't make it you would have started a thread, "going for it on 4th with a sure chance to get points on the board before half". Let's face it, Butch will do no right in some people's eyes.

No I would not have. The FG was not the correct play. Playing safe or playing not to lose against Alabama will get you beat.

off color?...lulz. You need to spend more time updating your resume to FBS schools looking for a head coach and less time replying to me, coach.
