We are on the knife's edge.... look at both sides

[The Artful Dodger]

The next two weeks can make a world of difference for this team. On one hand, if we beat Florida and then Georgia, we can walk to Atlanta. If we just show up to play like the team Butch and the media hyped us to be, both of these teams are easily beatable with our defense. Butch can get rid of a lot of bad blood in just under 13 days time.

However, the ugly side of this is really ugly. You have perhaps the most beatable Florida team in a generation coming to our house. We will no doubt checker the stadium and Gameday and the national media will be watching. When I think of the Florida game with this terrible backup QB, I envision a baby bear cub being chained to a tree for us to blow away. But what if Butch pulls the trigger and misses? Another national embarrassment. And then compound that with going to Georgia and losing.

Honest questions: can Jones survive the worst case scenario? And conversely if we win both games has Jones earned your unquestioned loyalty?

Could still end up with at least 2 SEC losses, even if we beat UF and UGA. Nothing in the SEC is a cake walk and getting to Atlanta is near the top of that list.

Jones will survive this season regardless of our final record. Next season is questionable as early termination would result in a ~$7.5 million buyout, but if things got bad enough maybe he would go.

That said, I don't expect things to look bad for him anytime soon, or next season for that matter. I expect things to look bad for one of our coordinators and maybe some of our position coaches toward the end of the season if certain things don't change; not Jones.

However, I'm confident in our boys and I also expect wins over Florida and Georgia before a tough Alabama game GBO!!!

I believe there is the matter of a little game in College Station, against a very good A&M team, to deal with as well.

Barring a 4-8 year..Butch is back.

Even if we are as bad as everyone hopes we won't be, that would be almost difficult to do with how bad the bottom of the east is. One more cupcake, then at least one of UK Vandy Mizzou and USC. 4-8 and the bus should leave without him.
