The players have to execute for Butch Jones to succeed, so it is a joint effort, even though most want to put it solely on Butch. (I am not a Butch Jones superfan but I support him until he isn't the coach any more.
of course they have to execute, and players make mistakes. i'm not going to sit here and blame every turnover, penalty , dropped pass, or missed tackle on CBJ.
but when you get in to the circumstances of situational football, and your decisions in those situations affect the outcome of the game, that's on the coach.
i will blame going for 1 instead of 2, allowing your DC to play that ridiculous coverage on 4th and 16, the play calling in 2 min and 4 min offense in general, the sideline penalties (substitution infractions), clock management issues, mismanagement of time outs etc...on the coach. he's the guy making those decisions.
and there's plenty of that in the record books to point to.
