I wanted to cry. I sat on my couch silent for 15 min after the game it was just gut wrenching. The positive is how much this team has improved and the true fight that they showed. Things are getting better, I can feel it!

Absolutely. I am glad I was alone in my hotel in Vegas at the end of that game....

Anybody know how Pig was after the game?

Love it when people who have zero effort to contribute to a cause criticize those who do. Well done y'all. Makes you look real good and manly, and what not.

I felt a little bad for these kids after the effort they put out on the field for them not to get the win. I can't imagine how a coach that has invested so much time and emotion into the program could walk away and not be a little emotional.

These kids will run through a wall for Jones, wait until he has a roster full of 4 star players that have been here to develop a few years.

I am guessing you have never played a football or a team sport?

CBJ had these kids playing with great effort, emotion and pride. CBJ had them to buy in if you play with great effort lay it all on the line then you will win.

Pig Howard and the rest of this team put it all on the line and played with great effort, they left everything on that field and lost a game by inches.

Im not saying crying makes a good coach but by God he was hurting for those players that is why the tears were coming, they lost the game by inches on a play giving great effort.

We will see how good of a coach he is, if he gets the same effort for the SC game then I believe he is a good coach bc now he has to get them to buy in again after giving so much effort and emotion and I think he will.

If you did not hurt for those kids after the game then you are not a VOL fan you are just stupid

Take is easy. I didn't say there was anything wrong w him crying. I love his passion. But it's not a reason to anoint him as the savior of UT football. If there's any reason for hope it should be the product he's putting on the field

You were the one that inserted that red herring into the discussion. The OP just thinks it's a sign that he's the right guy for UT. He didn't say anything about anointing him as savior.

(For the record, the UGA game showed some additional signs that he's a good coach.)

Maybe you're the one that should take it easy?

I'm under the assumption that most people's idea of "the right guy for Tennessee" is first and foremost, a good coach.

Stop assuming and start reading the posts you're responding to.

He seems to be under the impression that, after the Kiffin and Dooley debacles, UT may need more than a good coach to turn this thing around. CBJ showed results Saturday that reinforce his winning record as a HFB-- that he's a good coach. Intense emotional investment in the job and players is an incredibly good thing, combined with those indicators.

In any event, his closing sentence clearly stated that his point was made in a context outside of strictly winning/losing. You didn't even have to assume.

No, what were missing from the Dooley and Kiffin years was... A good coach.

The heartbreaker at Baton Rouge was 2010. Was a sign of worse days to come. I think the GA was a sign of better days to come.

The LSU game down to coaching and game management and being ready for those special circumstances. Too many men on the field was the Defensive staff and Dooley's fault. Dooley didn't have us prepared, but I think Butch gets the little details and game management. He practices for so many different scenarios. This loss was not due to coaching and game management. If there was ever a good loss, I think this game fits the defenition. The heart and determination our coaching staff and mainly our players exhibited should give us all reason for hope regarding the future and direction of this program. One game isn't a season, but we need a turning point somewhere and this is one to build on.:thumbsup:

I only saw the post-game interview, and I thought I could see him trying to hold back the emotion/heart-break for the kids...just like you would if you saw your undersized kid fall short against a bigger opponent after a herculean effort.

I thought it was a sheer pride in the kids and overwhelmed by the fan support. That place was rocking.

I think anyone that loves UT wanted/did cry after Saturday's loss. That loss, the LSU loss in 2011, and the NC loss in 2011 were three of the most heartbreaking losses in the last 10 years at UT.

Can't argue with that.

You are wrong. Period. As a matter of fact, I believe you are letting your emotions lead you to illogical conclusions-- in the most literal sense of the word.

Logic: Cause -> Effect.

Logic: Winning football games == the results of a good coach. They don't cause a good coach.

Logic: Many variable go into won games. One of those variable could be emotional investment in the system, people, team, University, etc... which would combine with other variables to produce determination and the eventual result/effect of... Winning games.

Your emotions are leading you to post illogical claptrap. Please step back and think rationally about the situation before mindlessly dragging down a perfectly valid thread.

Garbage post right here.

He was exactly right in what he said.

I have absolutely no problem with CBJ or any other coach showing their emotions when they and their players have invested so much and I think it does mean he's all about TN, but that doesn't necessarily make him "the right man for TN"

I like the emotion and the passion, but like every other coach CBJ's tenure at TN will be judged in wins and losses not emotions and to think otherwise is silly. If TN was to go say 10-26 in CBJ's first 3 years but CBJ cried and showed genuine emotion after each of the 26 losses would he still be the right man for TN ? I doubt many would think so.
