Which Butch do you prefer?

[hep]

No, not talking about women's basketball. Davis or Jones, who ya got?

 

[butchball13]

Jones. Davis is past his prime.

 

[bigsteve13]

where's the neither option?

 

[bleedorange0037]

One of those guys was instrumental in laying the groundwork for and building the best college football team of my lifetime. The other lost head to head against Derek Dooley. Not a difficult choice.

 

[BigOrangeTailgate]

Between the two Davis by far but I don't want to settle for either.

 

[Skjellyfetti]

Davis has as many national championships as Jones has losses to Dooley.

Davis easily.

 

[CincyVol21]

Saying no to Jones because he lost to Dooley is ridiculous. That would be like saying no to Saban because he lost to Ron Cooper while he was coaching Michigan State. Not all good coaches win every single game they coach.

[mreed90]

Ha, nice bump. Oh the good ol' days of the coaching search.

 

[Burhead]

I like Jones but I was on the Butch Davis band wagon bad.

 

[99gator]

i like to picture my butch with giant eagle's wings singing lead vocals for lynryd skynyrd with the pride of the southland band behind him and i'm in the front row and i'm hammered drunk.

and after the game when he's asked, "why did you go for 2, when you are already up on alabama 50-0?", he tells tracy wolfson, "Because I like to party."

i like to party, so i like my butch to party

 

[brian.kluever]

Butch Davis < Butch Jones. He is a hands off CEO type football coach. Tennessee needed a marketer and a program builder.

 

[YankeeVol]

Jones. Then and now

 

[golfballs]

I'm certainly not in on the Butch Jones love fest but I think he is a better choice than Davis

 

[NashVol11]

It seems like whoever bumped this is trying to be like, "Oh, look, everyone who said Jones was right," but I don't really see it. He's done well recruiting, but he's not suddenly the best coach in the country.

 

[golfballs]

I don't know about that. He hasn't feigned support for either

Yes that was exactly what I was doing! No, I just found an old thread I started and thought it would be interesting to see our initial reactions on Jones. But, if you don't think he's done a tremendous job thus far, you probably haven't been paying attention.

You sure jumped off that bandwagon fast^^^ lololo

 

[GBO97]

Butch Jones gets it

 

[dembewbs]

Butch Jones gets it

No he doesn't.

Not really. Butch Davis is still the FAR more accomplished college coach.

 

[johndoevol]

Ha! so many "realist" "fans" .

 

[Burger]

Not really. Butch Davis is still the FAR more accomplished college coach.

Davis has gotten fired more than once; Jones has not gotten fired yet. Jones is on the right side of his career.
