Having said that, if he does it will devastate this program for years to come. As if we aren't in bad enough shape already...
Some results of what will happen if he left after this season:
- I bet our athletic fund is still low. If Butch left and his entire staff left too, we would have to hire personnel to replace them. We don't have the money unless we want to pick up some upstart high school coaches. Or perhaps the fat one can be enticed to come back with generous truckloads full of Krispy Kremes.
- If he left, who the @#$% would we get to replace him? Who could we afford which is good enough to coach at this school, someone who can coach/survive in the SEC, someone who has the expectation they would get us to a bowl game someday, is willing to come here, and can recruit? No one at this time as there is no one out there(except the before mentioned fat one). Well, maybe Chavis but I doubt he would come back. Speaking of recruiting...
- No recruit worth a damn will come here 'cause they simply won't know what to expect. When Kiffin left, we had only 2 of his 22 person recruiting class actually come to UT. We STILL have not recovered from that fiasco. Butch leaving would create an unrecoverable nightmare.
There are other reasons but I'll stop there as I could be here all night and those hit the main points anyway.
Bottom line: if Butch leaves we will become a stepping stone school and we will be fucked for 15-20 years. Heck, that maybe true already...
