“There’s no validity to it. I’m not even gonna waste your time or my time by even commenting on that. I think y’all know how I feel.”
Why discuss it again tonight on Vol Calls?
He discussed it again tonight to help ease the paranoid fears of VN. He thought his comment last night was good enough to dispel the rumors. But not with VN. So he was more specific tonight about wanting to be here at Tennessee.
That being said it was coach speak to some degree, although I do think he truly likes it here. I am sure the losing is driving him nuts with his personality. I do not see him leaving, but if it was to another college, UM or MSU being home state teams would be the ones. I see Butch looking at the NFL more in a few years than other colleges.
Look what Franklin did with Vandy recruits; it's not in a coach's approach to stay true to the end. Cincinnati is dealing, two years later, with the ends of CBJ's 3rd year there. He pursued Colorado and Pursue while biding time to wait for any Tennessee interest. ALL coaches know how to handle the recruiting pipeline if they have any possibility of entertaining another offer.Hypothetically speaking, if Butch were NOT firmly committed to us, I doubt he'd purposefully sabotage our program... that would cause his market value plummet.
I feel he'll give us 100% the entire time, and I hope he's here for many many years.
