UT coach Butch Jones did not pledge to donate his $100,000
bowl bonus to Sevier County fire victims, per Vols SID Ryan Robinson.

Lol, great timing Jimbo

 

[Vols4us]

lol. The vast majority of you fully support Butch despite all of the obvious issues and your own posts that said the same stuff. Do you honestly expect current players to allow their names to be quoted? How about current UTAD staff or current members of the media with access to the program? Not even VFL's that get to attend practices and events are going to want their names quoted.

Yes, the article is a rehash hit piece for the fan base that does not follow it all as closely as you. The suggestions made are some of the same ones many of us have made on here. Does that make us bad people as well?

Winning at a higher level cures this. At UT 8-4 is treading water. Butch's got another year to win at a higher level. If he makes major hires and stops stepping on his own **** he will get longer than that to prove he can get it done. That's all any employee of any employer can ask and more than most.

Rucker in full blown defending Haney mode right now on Twitter 😂

He's trying so hard because he's pretty obviously one of the sources

I can't imagine why Butch distrusts the "media". With a couple of exceptions it seems like they are all trying to bring him down. This doesn't seem to happen at any other school. Did UT steal a bunch of reporter's girlfriends or something?

We are forum posters, not reporters. There's a huge difference in standards.

If you have a story of that length and only a single named source, you don't have a story. And you certainly don't have a story befitting such a clickbait headline.

Yikes

Inside the failing of Tennessee Volunteers football under Butch Jones

 

[drvenner]

Exactly. One stigma that has followed Butch is he has this giant ego. Has to understand that you have to let the OC and DC do their thing.

I don't think it's his ego. I think it is his fear of failure. He very much wants to succeed and has not been able to be hands off because he has so much at stake.

Rucker hates Butch because Butch has no respect for the media hacks who cover the program. Rucker writes clickbait for 247 and is the lowest man on the totem pole there after they hired John Brice and Grant Ramey.

Saw where USF might be interested in our TE coach Scott for their HC position.

Doubt it gets to him. Their top two targets both want that job. Kiffin and Strong

Correct. He desperately tries to tell everyone how crucial his job is on a daily basis.

If you have to convince people that you are important, you ain't that important.

Well said. He's a control freak not an ego maniac

Ha I used to work with the guy that throws up...its fake btw. We were tasked with creating viral videos. He did that one and I did one where a guy stopped for drunk driving pees on cops:

I forgot how to post a youtube video...

 

[csprig9]

Also, Brice did say there is fire to the Helfrich talk. He said people in the program have mentioned it. The Hoke talk is real. There has been communication between Fair and UT as well.

Please, please get these guys, would be huge gets for the coaching staff

Butch needs to be a CEO. Hire replacements for most of the "best coaching staff in College Football" and then get out of their way.
