Unless / until the fans start staying home and boycotting Neyland, Botch is safe. UT doesn't have the cash to make the change right now. People don't seem realize the magnitude of firing a highly paid coach / staff and replacing them - unless it's for cause, the buyouts make it nearly impossible. These aren't NFL teams, these are school athletic departments, a vast majority of which already operate in the red.
I talked about that in the other thread.. It's unlikely they will fire Jones.
I honestly do - he seems like a good guy, but he's in WAY over his head.
Some guys are just better suited for a lower level job. Might be their personality, the stress of the job, or something else, but some guys are better off staying at a lower level job and dominating there.
Completely agree. If a guy isn't an elite coach, I got it. No reason to treat someone like dirt though. Only reason I said "almost" is because he is making a couple million a year to basically exist in the seat.
To paraphrase that dude who sung "Walking in Memphis" - or in Botch's case, "Dead Man Walking (and Talking) in Memphis:"
The whole "young" team line is stupid. On our next to last offensive touchdown play last week, we were playing EIGHT true freshmen. EIGHT. two other true freshmen contributed during that drive and throughout the game. Of those ten, many had been playing pretty early in the game, well before it was a blowout.
You realize that Alabama has more talent in its freshman class than most teams have across their entire roster, right?
yep, sure do. that's the point. it's not about how young or not young the team is, it's about how talented it is, which is both raw talent incoming and how well it's developed once it's there. Our staff does a great job of that; Tenersee's staff, not so much.
True, but it is not Alabama that has him in trouble this year. It is GT, Florida and UMass. Young is no excuse with those three.
