That Palardy kick was Butch's fault.

[VolStudent5]

Yeah, it was like what... 52 yards? Punt the ball. Palardy knew he had to get some distance and ended up screwing it up royally. should have played field position.

This decision and the decision in the Oregon game to decline the holding penalty which almost resulted in an Oregon TD has really shown me all I need to know about Butch's coaching.

edit: for those saying the holder "blocked" it. i never saw a replay, i was actually at the game. unlike some of you posters.

 

[Boca Vol]

It hit the holder's hand.

 

[Freak]

Palardy whiffed or something odd happened. Looked like he hit the holder's hand.

Was it Butches fault for the penalty on the fake, which likely would have been a touchdown?

Did Butch kick the ball?

 

[DC Vol]

It was a 47-yarder and Palardy hitting the holder's hand isn't really on Jones.

I'm just not seeing anything here. There is plenty to criticize the staff/team on.

So two 50/50 calls and now he's a bad coach?

Damn, why didn't Hart hire you instead?

 

[MiramarVol]

Drummond didn't get his left hand out of the way, and the ball hit it when Palardy kicked it. It wasn't on Palardy.

still should have punted anyway you look at it.

 

[bigdaddy]

It hit the holder's hand.

Stop using excuses. We obviously work on it hitting his hand in practice. Palardy should have been ready.

 

[pualsline]

You're just looking for things to gripe about now.

Butch's fault for trying a 52 yard field goal while Winning..

 

[bigdaddy]

Um no, he has hit 50+ in practice and warm ups and I believe the OW game. Need to see it in live action

Did you watch the replays or hear the play by play? Tyler Paige still had his left hand in front of the ball when Palardy kicked it! Probably the first blocked kick by a holder in Tennessee history. 52 yards is supposed to be in Palardy's range.

 

[Freak]

Maybe. It's a judgment call. I might have punted, but it's easy to second guess in hindsight. Obviously there was more to that play than a missed field goal.

Butchs fault the economy sucks

 

[Gary10ec1]

Still a little too early to tell about CBJ. I am sure he has never seen some of the stuff we have witnessed this year already. But at least we aren't teaching shower hygiene this year so that is a positive.

Butch's fault for trying a 52 yard field goal while Winning..

What? Did you watch the game?

 

[FLVOL_79]

What? Did you watch the game?

Yep. They were winning right? A smart person punts USA to the 10 yard line..Fact..

 

[Volfan2012]

14 point lead I punt knowing Parlardy is awful over 45 yards.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Yeah if we punt guaranteed the op starts a thread "why not try a field goal. Playing scared won't get you far. Outcoached"

Get a life op.

 

[Biopsyman]

Everyone knew that Palardy has several F ups left in his career... He has just been holding back... I see a really punt in the future and a missed extra point for s... and giggles

 

[Volumnus 2011]

Yep. They were winning right? A smart person punts USA to the 10 yard line..Fact..

Lol at people who attach the word "fact" to an obvious opinion

 

[bigdaddy]

Yep. They were winning right? A smart person punts USA to the 10 yard line..Fact..

And we won anyway...fact

 

[RockyTopFox]

Anyone have a link or gif of that kick? I need something to laugh at
