Recruiting Forum Talk XXXIX

wtf happened to Jennings, TKJR, or DKJR? They hurt so they just not on the team anymore?

This to me is the most telling indictment to Butch Jones as a coach. Players don’t have enough respect for their teammates to even be around the team anymore. That lets me know what the culture is right now.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Berry was announced available? Ouch. Maybe he'll wanna return and get a Rs year

That's what Butch said Wednesday at his presser.

 

[VolGee4]

Im THIS close from urging you guys to not buy any tickets til we make a change. This crap has gone on long enough

You think you have that much influence? People will decide for themselves. I may not go because I am 6 hours away, but I will proudly wear my orange.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Missed both of those announcements.
So berry it's good to go, but didn't travel? Is JJ going to RS?

Word is JJ s gone to the league.

Butch said berry was cleared to practice but made it clear he wasn't saying he would be ready to play this week.

I could be wrong but I thought Butch said in his presser Berry was good to go.

 

[BruinVol]

He didn't say he was going to play. Just able to practice

 

[InVOLuntary]

Butch said berry was cleared to practice but made it clear he wasn't saying he would be ready to play this week.

Ok, my bad, I thought he said he would be available Saturday.

I'm fine with that. Frost is young and hungry.

He'll make Tennessee a national power once again.

It's interesting how many legendary coaches Frost has played/coached under:

Bill Walsh (while at Stanford)
Tom Osborne (while at Nebraska)
Bill Parcels (while with the Jets)
Gruden (at Tampa Bay)

Throw in Chip Kelly at Oregon.

If he's a student of the game, he couldn't have asked for better mentors.

Word is JJ s gone to the league.

The Canadian or the Mexican?
He hasn't remotely done enough to justify the Draft...
Hell, Malone was 10x more justified. JJ is great, but has zero stock.

As long as JJ is projected to be drafted the dude is gone. He’s all about that money

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Frost would be good for that locker room that is full of broken trust from Butch. Frost has been there done that and keeps it real. Straight shooter no BS

Yes. We don't need another salesman/rah rah guy. Frost doesn't seem to throw bull crap out there if you've listened any of his interviews. Very direct and to the point.

 

[VolGee4]

The only thing UT has going for them against UK is that UK is sucking just as bad now. Butch's presence gives the edge to UK.

The one thing Butch can do is beat UK. Not a big deal to me. He was 4-7 and beat them with Dobbs.

 

[HankHill]

Good lord missed a 27 yarder.

 

[VolGee4]

Clay Helton may be worse than butch. He has one of the best QB in the last 5 years maybe and can’t figure it out.

Wait...people say Tee is calling the plays. Which one is it?

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Someone posted it a few days ago, but he's alpha as hell. Needed after Butch.

He looks like he could take every coach in the SEC in a fight lol. Means nothing but that kind of intimidating force would be nice in a coach.

 

[HankHill]

Wait...people say Tee is calling the plays. Which one is it?

I’m sure it’s both. Clay was a play caller like butch. He’s not giving the reigns to anyone.

 

[JCP201]

That's what Butch said Wednesday at his presser.

He was at practice.. I would rather him get a medical redshirt then be wasted the rest of the year. Maybe new coach could figure out a way to use his talents.

 

[mrMet]

Say what you want about Gaulden flipping the Bama fans off but the guy bleeds orange, has hated Bama since a child and let the moment get the best of him. At least he gives his all for Tennessee

 

[InVOLuntary]

Not saying I don't agree with you but I'm guessing he thinks he'll do well enough in the combine to make a roster.

 

[theutvolunteers]

I’m sure it’s both. Clay was a play caller like butch. He’s not giving the reigns to anyone.

Seems like a bad philosophy. You have to trust your coaches to do their job.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Scott Frost seems like a great hire but out of the realistic ones I'm not sure why Mullens not #1.

Widely considered the 2nd best coach in the SEC currently and know the lay of the land as good as you could.

He would have us right there competing for SEC titles every year.

He may not have the ultra elite high end ceiling (not sure) but he is definitely a great coach that would take us to much higher levels.

My thoughts

I’m with you. Mullen ahead of frost for me.

 

[MrVolton]

Frost would know what to do with a Guarantano and he probably would make Fields interested. Mariota and Milton both with stupid numbers in his offense

Frost's track record with Mariotta might be enough to keep Martinez and Penix in the fold as well.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Ha. To give credit when it’s due D4H told us Dobbs hid CBJ horrible coaching. And he was right.

Josh Dobbs greatness hid Butch Jones ineptitude.

Crazy to think we led the SEC in OFFENSIVE TDs last year.

Imagine what Dobbs could have done in college with a competent coach?

Swain said he was leaving for the league himself.
