Tennessee is improving? Could have fooled me. Compare years 1 and 2 of Dooley's stint vs Butch's. 1 more win and 1 less loss for Butch. Now look at season 3 for each. Butch likely 2-5 after first 7 games (still have to play UGA and Bama in games 6 and 7). Dooley was 3-4 his first 7 games. That's about when the cries were reaching a crescendo for his head, right? They will have the exact same record (assuming UGA and Bama beat them, through 7 games of year 3. Actually, they opened 2012 3-2 and are 2-3 this year, so they have the same record to date. Not much improvement in the win/loss aspect.
Funny last year when a bunch of their fans would use the "brick by brick" moniker that Butch was preaching. Haven't heard that in a while now...
