Fans and supporters of others schools don't want to see their competitors succeed and seldom give credit where credit is due. To date, Butch has demonstrated in actions that he has a plan and is working relentlessly to accomplished that plan (and now it is time to win).
The fear factor associated with Butch continuing to build Brick by Brick, change the culture, win the next play, and "it all starts with recruiting" has to annoy other fan bases just as much as the color Orange and Rocky Top.
I can recall during the 1990's that many fans of others schools were calling CPF unexciting and boring but all he was doing was beating them on every Saturday. Just the other day, I read a couple of comments regarding one VIMEO production on youTube where a jawja dawg was saying he had no clue why Butch was being successful recruiting because Butch had nothing new to say but admitted it seems to be working.
Personally, every time I see the Vols have just added another Brick for Team 120/Team 121, etc, it brightens my day! GBO!!
Guys it all boils down to this.When Butch Jones thinks we finally have a lights out defense he will open up the play book quit a bit.He is a little conservative during the games because we haven't has a defense he fully trust yet.That's about to change very soon.
I think the media probably gets the cliché coach speak which can definitely sound robotic. I'd imagine that press conferences are a thing that is required to do much like a household chore to a child. I bet at practice and game time situations he is not speaking of bricks and culture and how young we are as a team.
I wonder what clichés he used with Jalen Hurd after the underage drinking incident when he said they "took care of it internally".
Coach Jones is the man from every aspect besides letting Bajakian run the O into the ground. I think it was probably a mutual departure for Bajakian and he will also keep a tight leash on Deboard throughout the 4 quarters.
I wanted to get VNs opinion on something. I live in Arkansas and as such, I listen to the hog slanted sports radio here in Little Rock. One of the recruiting guys who covers the Razorbacks said that he hasn't bought into Butch Jones yet because he said he was too "robotic". He went on to say that yes, he recruits at an extremely high level but that he is a "cliche machine" and "the biggest coach speak guy in the SEC" and that his "brick by brick" mantra is as cliche as it gets.
Butch seems to be a pretty conservative coach by nature and one of the guys said he might be too inflexible as far as in game coaching and that hurts him. So what do you guys think? Accurate? Denial? Some of both? I'll hang up and listen.
he has said so himself. He has talked about in a number of games about being conservative and to keep it close in the first half, then when he feels more comfortable opening up the playbook.
Lol. Never once have I called for his firing during a game. That's a tactic you guys like to use so you can feel cool for being sheep. It's cool man. We know.
