He was the back up behind Hurd.
Butch didnt play the better players.
Just let that sink in for a minute.
Further proves Butch's inability to develop and use NFL caliber talent.
I mean seriously, even if you gave him the 5 stars Bama gets, he would still find a way for them to not play up to their potential.
He's so much better than even I thought.
Special special player.
Can be the one of the best ever in the NFL.

We all thought Hurd was great in 2015. I'm not gonna pretend like that wasn't the consensus around here 2 years ago.
However, there was no excuse for Alvin to not play more. We all could see even in 2015 that Alvin was AT WORST the 3rd best player on our offense (after Dobbs and Hurd). There was no excuse for him not playing a lot more. Especially given the fact Kamara was such an outstanding receiver. He should have been on the field just as much as Hurd and Dobbs.
There was no excuse for why Alvin didn't play significantly more than he did under Butch Jones.
This.
Was Kamara drastically underused at UT? Yes. But lets not play revisionist history and act as if there was not a significant hype surrounding Hurd. Butchs mistake was just not realizing a litttle but sooner.

Kamara's success directly and positively related to Coach Jones. First, he recruited him and worked with him to grow out of the problems at Bama. He had to manage some stud running backs to try and get the best out of them.
I would agree Butch's inability to solve the Offensive Line woes should be legitimately laid on Butch. If we had better than average, top ten, lines with Dobbs and other skill players, we would be two time winners of the National Championship. Kamara or Dobbs might have been our first Heisman.
