*This is our first loss this decade as a double-digit favorite (the last one was against UCLA in 2009) *We've dropped 110 spots in the national rankings in turnovers lost this season. *The blue chip ratio of our current commits in the 2017 recruiting class is worse than either of Dooley's full classes. *Since 2000, first-year coaches at South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida have a combined 7-1 record against Tennessee (thanks, Jauan).

Also there are actually people in the comments section of TV's article that say that risking losing Guarantano is sufficient reason to keep Butch. Dumb.
I just wasn't concerned as long as 10-2 was still on the table, because I thought that'd give him the pitch he needed to close strong. The facts about the existing commits haven't changed, but the chances of massively improving the class before February just dropped big time
It is dramatic to complain about a class a year before signing day. Now, 4 months away with the season going down the shitter, it's not
