    How likely you think it is he gets fired?

    8-4 got a Vols coach who won a National Championship fired so there is a chance it could happen. I just think the Gator win will save him for one more year.

    That, and knowing that injuries played a big role in the product we saw on the field.

    The Vols are about to lose their A.D. IMO, finding the right person for that job is a higher priority than replacing Butch.

    Fulmer had a lot of bad years leading up to that point though didn't he?

    It could end up being a situation similar to the one Munch found himself in. If they feel like Butch is on track to improve things (staff, recruiting, player development, etc) then they could keep him around. If they want changes and he is not willing to make them, or they are not confident in his proposed changes, then he is gone. Which, as we all know, is what happened with Munch.

    Fulmer was a great recruiter but a terrible coach. Did less with more talent than anyone I can remember. He kept getting extensions because he would go 9-2 or so every year but could rarely beat Florida or Bama. Jones has had a bunch of injuries, but his defense is just pathetic. He will probably can the DC to save his job. Many didn't like Dodd, so with Dormandy coming back to be the QB, they may wait another year. The Hurd incident didn't help his popularity at all.

    Fulmer's recruiting feel off big time after the national championship....didn't recover at all until B. Jones arrived...but like I said in a previous post...recruiting is only 1/2 the story...got to coach them up.

    And to coach them up you need good assistants. HC does not make players better, assistants do. HC just makes sure the assistants do their job.

    Butch has done a great job given where the team was four years ago. The issue now is the product on the field. I scan volnation and everyone has a complex theory about whether Butch is good or bad. However, the field that is fielded current is a soft, poorly coached team. The have the talent in Dobbs, Kamara, Barnett Jennings and Malone to win some games but I think it is in despite of coaching. In general, they are very poor at fundamental football.
