Criticize Butch all you want but don't put him in the same category as Dooley. Dooley was 16-20 in the WAC. He had never been a coordinator. His players disliked him and a lot of them didn't respect him.

Compare Dooley talking about how difficult it was going to be for three years and still trying to get his guys to play hard for sixty minutes in his third year to what Butch said today. Butch basically said our intention is to contend and that's what we plan to do every year. Is he going to do it next year? No. But he makes it clear right from the start that just dicking around isn't going to cut it anymore.

I honestly believe, and this isn't hyperbole, that Derek Dooley was the single worst hire in the history of the SEC. Completely over his head in every way. His major claim to fame was being a recruiting coordinator for Saban yet we are literally recruiting better with no head coach than we did with him. There are tons of kids considering us now who wanted no part of that joker. Read this:

The biggest problem with Bielema is his hatred for Sec style recruiting and recruiting in general.

Ut fans can at least hope Jones will be a good recruiter, you only have to be average to bring in a top 20 class at UT. There is no hope for recruiting with Bielema which is the most important thing in the SEC. I think Beilema and Arky is a bad fit. Jones and UT may be too, but there is at least hope it isn't.
