Butch Jones: Xs and Os

When you dropoff to Sun Belt level talent in your second team on defense, and somewhat on offense, it's going to show up sooner or later against a foe like USA.
I'm sorry I don't agree... Our whole 2nd & 3rd string team is higher ranked than 99% of South Alabama's Roster. You can make any exscuse you like . The X'S and O'S are very bad right now!

I homestly don't think he can win ball games. I hope I'm wrong but play calling has been stupid up to this point. I would have run the ball about 20 more times yesterday and this game would have been a blow out, plus we probably wouldn't have turned it over THREE TIMES
USA finally stacked the box inside. We have all of one run play. Off tackle left, flip it to off tackle right. That's our whole run playbook..

i hope you are wrong in so many ways and on so many levels, but i agree overall

honestly did not watch much of the game, but i remember a 3rd and 15 (i think?) when we only rushed 3 and put everyone in coverage...they converted imagine that

doesn't fall in line with the zone blitzes and what not you mentioned, however it did grind my gears quite a bit

If you don't even watch the game maybe you should not comment on CBJ's coaching abilities.

Lets Be Hones here Central Michigan and Cincy Scheduals would be easy for Dufus to have winning season's at. This is a whole new ball game in the SEC . You have BIG time chordinators that will eat your Lunch if you don't change !

Apparently you only read the bolded potion of my post. His play calling sucks.

You gave a definitive position, then tried to give yourself a small out, if you were wrong. So, do you think he can win games or not? Everything else is immaterial.

Now we know Dooley filled this roster with bodies. Not SEC players. We're a long way from being SEC ready. There where some thing we could have done to not make USA look all world in the second half though.

Did you see Worthless throw the rock? Run the ball up the middle. If that can't get it done, fire the o-lime coach

He's going to run that system. Put a different QB under center and it probably looks a lot different. The fact we stayed in a base defense all second half and just about let them come all the way back is more disturbing.

At least show them a different alignment from time to time. Maybe throw them off the trail. Yeah Worley stinks , but we could do a few things to help the guy out.

What did I say before? NO. You know it too, if you don't than your stupid or you want to win so bad you can't let yourself think otherwise. He's bad, he can recruit well but I know bad play callin wheni see it.

When your players don't do it right, it makes the coaches look like they don't know what they are doing. When it looks like it did the first half, no one is complaining. It's rather easy to understand. Our players got complacent, and kicked it into cruise control, like they have in the past. There wasn't a huge gameplan for yesterday, and I would say we were running 40% of our offensive gameplan yesterday.

1.) Any scheme will work as long as you execute better than the other team
2.) Bama will run a zone blitz and drop their nose guard into coverage so that doesn't mean he doesn't know x's and o's.

Teams are going to make life tough until we show we can throw the ball more than 5 yards down field with some consistency. Right now it's hit or miss. Mostly miss, or hit the other team for a pick.

Let me know if you feel the same way after October.
lol what? your defending The coach by saying South Alabama has much better Talent than our 2nd and 3 rd stringers and then you say " Let me know if you feel the same way after October" WTH . Dude, Wake up. We don't have a team of SEC players . But we our Not full of sun belt players either! I don't care who you are. I have followed this teams recruiting for 20 years . It has fallen off but not one time since the begining of time has it been Sun Belt Level!

40% isnt enough, we are in the SEC. That game should have never ended up like it did. He's a bad coach.

I like Jones as a coach, i don't care for his offensive system that much. Right now it's a eye sore.

Our system will be like ole miss. They used play action on bamas goal line and they did not score. That will be us. Much as I hate to say it.

( omg in the Middle? ) lol Bama's Defense and Ours is nothing similar, not even on the same planet in coverage as Bama!

I can give CBJ the benefit of the doubt that he's instituting his scheme w/out his players. However, perhaps someone can clarify why he is not giving reps to 1 or both of the future QBs to speed up the process which would only benefit next year. Any young QB who can't handle being thrown to the wolves against S. Alabama doesn't have what it takes period.
