To all who want Butch gone

I came back from my first visit to Seattle last night. Was there just a couple days on business. To say the least, I see why people love to live there.

Not me man, I spent more than my fair share of time out Redmond way. If you love weary bleary rainy days 90% of the time, Seattle is great. If you like seeing the sun during most daylight hours, seek living elsewhere.

You are ready to fire a coach for going 8-4 and you want to hire Jeff Fisher? He is a career 8-8 coach...yeah sounds good

I'm assuming this is directed towards me since my comment was copied on it. Somebody mentioned "Fisher" (Jimbo Fisher), but for me and at least one other Jeff Fisher came to mind probably because we are old Titans fans and I live in the Nashville area. For the record I haven't suggested JF as coach and agree with your assessment of him. However he was one and a half yards away from a super bowl victory if Kevin Dyson made that touchdown so he has that going for him.
 
I keep hearing Dan Mullen.

So you want Butch out at 8-4 and bring in Mullen who is 5-7 this year with losses to South Alabama,Kentucky,BYU and Arkansas. A 12 point win against UMass and a 15 point win against the Samford Bulldogs. At best he could be considered a side grade. Which means in four years the same thing will be going on.

Art Briles the rape lover was another popular name on here. Seriously, you guys are ****tarded.

I don't get the Mullen thing at all. "10 wins should be the expectation".

Yeah. He's done it.

Once.
 
Chip Kelly is a home run hire, and very obtainable.

He just turned down Oregon, not to mention he's won one game this year...against the Rams and he's stated he prefers the NFL.

Who knows what that situation will be a year from now though.
 
No thank you to Miles, Mullen, B. Kelly, Helfrich, Ji. Fisher, Petrino, Briles, Kiffin, MacIntyre, Taggart, Strong, Willingham, etc.

He won't go back to Oregon, and while he may prefer the NFL, the NFL does not prefer him.
 
I actually still want Butch to succeed. I want anyone coaching UTK to succeed. But he needs to make some serious changes. If I fired him though I would go hard after Chip Kelly. Things are looking good in San Fran and I think much like Satan he's just not a pro coach. I would offer him a sweet deal and tell him he can bring Helfrich with.

I could do C. Kelly (HC), Helfrich (OC) and Shoop (DC) with his guys on D.

Well, he certainly will be better off for his time in the NFL and if it happened it wouldn't be the worst hire...but honestly, I'm tired of watching this offensive style and you aren't beating Bama with it anymore.
 
1. Gruden - wouldn't come
2. Kiffin- would have to hold my nose but he'd be a winner
3. petrino- would have to hold my nose but...

If he turned the defense completely over to Shoop, you'd have a hell of a squad.

There aren't many coaches that have three years with the 2016 team and AREN'T 11-1 and playing in Atlanta tomorrow.
 
Not taking sides here in this thread. Not looking for a debate on whether or not he should be fired.

If you were the AD and fired Butch today:

1. Who is the first coach you target?
1. What other coaches would you target?
2. Of those you target, who do you think you'd have the best chance of hiring?

1-Les Miles
2-Make Les interview and have a serious discussion with Tee Martin to be his OC. Keep Shoop and tell him he has 2 million to hire a S&C coach.

I'm not sold on Shoop and I completely disagree with your assessment of the talent, especially the talent that actually played in the games.

But, hey that's what message boards are for right?


GBO!!!
 
SMH...I like the guy on TV, but good grief when is it time to give up on the Gruden thing...it lacks originality for crying out loud.

NB4




Soon.
