This can't be a real Butch Jones quote can it?

[WesternKyVol]

#Vols coach Butch Jones said "you never heard me talk about it" regarding team's goal winning SEC East title.

Wouldn't doubt it.

If Championships aren't your goal, why even coach or play?!

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Booooooo. Get real.

Cherry picking quotes

Explain? I was shocked to read this on twitter. Is there some context that makes it better? I'm all ears.

I have also heard CBJ quoted as saying "we hadn't won 8 regular season games here in a while." Won 8 last year if I remember correctly.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Fulmer was quoted as saying " I used the run to set up the punt"......and.... "I didn't just get dumb over night "

 

[Dustin4Vols]

That's our coach

Context is important. If the question was asked if he talked to the team about possibly going to the SEC championship game if Florida lost, then this quote is exactly what he should have said.

Don't mess with their agenda

Then the university needs to back off the $95 ticket prices

He said that in reference to whether the players had been told the outcome of the LSU-Florida game. And he was simply saying that they had not let it interfere with their game plan.

Are you guys freaking serious. I'm sure his goal was much bigger than to win the East, perhaps it was to win the SEC.

What he said wouldn't answer that question. His remark doesn't speak of what he said or didn't say to the team.

Well step 1 in that goal is winning the East...

See the last post from Orange & White on page 1 for enlightenment.

It seems the exact quote is fine if you had actually cared to investigate further than 140 characters.

Seems like asking the context was investigating it further....

 

[WesternKyVol]

Butch talked about "owning expectations" in the preseason. What were those expectations?

He said that in reference to whether the players had been told the outcome of the LSU-Florida game. And he was simply saying that they had not let it interfere with their game plan.

You're destroying our agenda

Said investigation is what the thread is about genius.

Context?

The context was you stupid fans shouldn't expect Championships. Just shut up & enjoy your 8 wins. Sadly, there is an entire contingent of beta males on here that are ok with that...

 

[WesternKyVol]

And also not sure about that either. Quote is oddly worded to just be about this week.
