Butch Jones Follies

[MSCE09]

Man, that play could work had 74 actually blocked. They have a 4 vs 3 screen set up at the top, but 74 just wiffed and the receiver was covered immediately.

Hard-fought game tonight, but Arkansas State falls to 1-6. Hard to understand why the magic hasn't translated to wins.

Holy crap 1-6.

I can’t remember, did we lose a transfer to them?

Yes - he was briefly shaken up last night and announcers mentioned he had transferred from UT

Holy crap 1-6.

John Mincey and Kevin Bennett, DLs, are there

Did Butch take LW seriously on the 1-11 jokes?

Hornblower has been blessed by being on the staff of the great one.
Little did Ark St know that serving oatmeal cakes and coffee does not train a head coach.
Can't laugh too hard, we fell for his used car salesman lines too.
And we paid a heck of a lot more for the experience.

They do hatch out a lot of SEC coaches there.

Butch Jones will not be one of them.

 

[Zues1]

Should have stayed at Central Michigan

Because Butch was never a P5 quality HC, anyone except Dave Hart could see that. Butch is at the level he belongs and his stint at Bama probably helped him get back to there.

Well not everybody could see he wasn’t P5 material...

I get it and hold Peyton accountable to a certain extent. However, Peyton is a P.R. guy, obviously, he will make lots of money off the brand he created for himself. If fans are expecting Peyton to get his hands dirty with Tennessee football, then think again.

Peyton is not going to come out and say negative about anyone. Especially, before things are obviously bad. I would like to think that he still loves the University of Tennessee but he isn't going to get wrapped up in letting his opinions get in the way of anything much less his image or money.

Butch Jones is a horrible coach. The only reason he found a little success was because of Josh Dobbs willing wins to happen, along with a very talented cast of characters on the offensive side of the football.

That’s my unbiased opinion of him. When I allow my biases to come out, then I say he is man of little character.

The way he bad mouthed the players he was incapable of developing was nauseating.

His going to Alabama as essentially an intern was wrong…not against the rules, but wrong. If he had any character, he wouldn’t have continued to milk his last employer who was still paying his buyout to take a position with Alabama.

If he had any class, he wouldn’t have been proudly puffing cigars in the bowels of Neyland after Alabama wins…while still on the payroll. The man has no shame.

And whenever I think of Butch, I think of his reaction to the Georgia Hail Mary. I know people will probably want to pick this apart, but it’s how I feel about it. It looked like he never expected to win a big game. He should have been running to Dobbs and Jennings thanking them for finding a way in spite of Butch. Instead he drops to a knee and looks like a fool.

Butch Jones belongs in a gym somewhere in the Midwest teaching middle school PE.

I could go, but I think that’s enough to get the point across.

(And, yes, I’m over Butch Jones, have moved on, and his name or his face rarely cross my
mind…but since the subject came up, I needed to get that off my chest )

Probably fired the strength and conditioning coaches. I might tune into the post game show to hear him blame the players.

 

[RTE]

.....and now 1-8 after losing 48-14 today.

 

[bigfredtn]

Listening to Butch Jones post game, same old Butch.

Have to learn how to play winning football.
Everyone is part of the foundation.
Learning how to play winning football, needs to be part of our culture.

Butch is now 0-13 in his last 13 conference games. Brick by brick

 

[MurphyVol]

BSIA

 

[sona]

Butch tossed out the tried and true "year zero" while documenting his latest embarrassing outing. Nothing but clichés in his post-game as usual.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

How sad is it that this charlatan high school band member is a chapter in the proud history of the University of Tennessee Football Team that can never be erased.

He has no place on the same planet as the General, much less the same team history.

Go Vols.

 

[sjt18]

He's a walking, talking cliche. Does he actually have the ability to think? I think GI Joe with the kung-foo grip has more originality.
