So Butch inherited a team that won 2 total SEC games in 2011 and 2012. He inherited a team without a single freshman, sophomore, or junior that was drafted. You have to go back 51 years to find a coach with so little talent available to him. You have to combine the 6 prior years to get to more SEC wins than he's had in 4 years. You have to combine the 6 prior years to get to more total wins than he's had in 4 years. You have to go back 12 years to find the last time we had 3 winning seasons in a row.
And for everyone that will say he's 2-2 against Vandy you're clearly ignoring that the 2013 Vandy loss was to a far better team that was coming off a 9 win season and was on its way to a second 9 win season.
