    I can find 3 guaranteed wins and ~3 toss up games

    If Butch. Doesn't win 6 and make a bowl showing I'll be disappointed and he will be on a serious hot seat in 2015.

    Utah State can beat them and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did. That is a Top 10 defense and an All-American at QB returning. Ask Auburn.

    They will get murdered in Norman.
    Florida is better.
    Georgia is sneakily better.
    USCjr takes a step back.
    Ole Miss is better.
    Kentucky is better.
    Vandy is ??? Likely worse.
    Alabama gonna Alabama.
    Missouri is likely about the same.

    Praise God we avoid LSU and Auburn this year.

    Obviously you are unaware of how well Tennessee is recruiting and recruiting is the first step to success.

    Even negavols on volnation.com don't hate on butch.

    Recruiting is only half of the equation and yes they had a top 10 class this year. Likely another top 10 class in 2015 if they can find a few wins this year.

    If Butch doesn't put together a couple good seasons the recruiting will fall off.

    The Tennessee brand is not what it once was.

    When they last won a conference title most of today's recruits were learning their ABC's

    I know fans and alum from schools across this conference.

    I live in a college football hotbed now and lived in Knoxville for 7 years while going to school there.

    I'll believe in Butch when I see it.

    I didn't go to a single game last year for the first time since I was a small child.

    I hated the hire. It was a safe hire. It was a Mike Munchak type hire.

    Volnation.com is the worst website on the entire internet.

    All Vol forums are awful and full of ignorant assholes.


    Tennessee is the most uncritical and complacent fan base. The fact a term like "negaVol" even exists is embarrassing.

    I had the great benefit of being a student during 3 different coaching hires in my 4 year career ('13) at UT. Kiffin, Dooley, Jones. I can tell you flat out, that when Kiffin made a run for it to USC, the school went ape **** mad.. one dude burned a mattress.. graphitti across various buildings saying **** kiffin... the rock painted with obscenities about kiffin (i still have a pic of it somewhere in the archives). Then we saw Dooley suck balls and the general sentiment was critical as **** around campus. Everyone wanted Dooley fired. Now with Butch, people are having faith based off his solid recruiting. But in summary, NO vols fans are not uncritical and complacent.. At least the student fan base isn't. My 4 years had to have been the overall worse 4 years of UT football, we were mad, but I and many others at my fraternity tailgated hard and made it fun.

    I was there with Fulmer, Kiffin

    The students are always the vocal minority.

    Students don't pay the the bills at Neyland.

    The millions of football fans across the state do.

    They are ignorant big orange pole dancers that put UT on a pedestal where they are immune from criticism.

    They dismiss students and alums. They attack any media critical of the university. They troll forums and twitter inventing terms like "negavol".

    What do you not like about Butch? He acquired Dooley's 2 star recruits with no Tyler Bray and beat USCjr, almost beat Georgia and showed he could be competitive in general, if you ignore the Bama game.

    Butch will not be on the hot seat next year, regardless of record. It will take a couple good recruiting classes and some time before things start firing on all cylinders. 2015 is when he will be evaluated.

    I would say based on your posts about UT you are one of the most ignorant UT fans out there.

    Quit your bitching and watch and support for a few years or gtfo.

    Lol Conzo just made the sweet 16 and you want to fire him. Butch is in his 2nd f'n year with a knockout recruiting class... how about we see what he can do with it before firing a coach again?

    For **** sakes, you need to look at college football history. Nobody wins championships every year kid.
