The article is basically a restatement of what has already been said and what we all know: This season is probably going to suck.
I'm going to be really pissed if the Vol bandwagoneers start railing against Butch when this season plays out exactly like we know it will. It has practically no chance of playing out otherwise. The talent level is low and thin. To go into our schedule looking for some kind of "improvement" in order to judge Butch is short-sighted and self-defeating.
And yet, that's exactly the reaction I expect from many of our "fans".
Yeah. I've seen predictions from some on this board for 8 or 9 wins. How we're going to do that with inexperience at QB, our top 3 WRs (Hunter, Patterson and Rogers) and our best TE (Rivera) gone, RBs that are serviceable but not spectacular and a defense that was absolutely horrible last year (and yeah I know a lot of it was coaching and scheme and it should be better, but a top-level D?) is beyond me. I think if he wins 7 it would be a good accomplishment and a positive stepping stone for the future.
