I think it's simply the stress. He's not use to the big time requirements of running a power program. These same expectations aren't the same at Central Michigan and Cincinnati. Every move is under a microscope and every detail is picked with a fine toothed comb. Most people didn't even know who he was before we went after him.

Agreed.

You can tell he hasn't been conditioned to handle adversity since his career has been based on riding Kelly's coattails.

It's showing up in testy answers at the press conferences and he spent the whole game with his arms tucked under his arm pits last night. He looked wired tighter than a banjo string.

If this is true, Dave Hart should do the following (but won't):

Offer him $1 million to resign at the end of the year. If he refuses, fire him for cause, reveal the assault to the public, and he will likely never coach Division I football again.

You would definitely want to wordsmith such a proposition since forced resignations can be fraught with legal peril.

If he struck a player, however, he could be terminated for cause, and UT would not have to disclose specifics.

I don't know, I find it very hard to believe that Crowder would let some little biddy F'er punch him and not body slam the fool, coach or no coach. No one has the right to lay hands on you and if they do then you have every right to park the idiot in a pool of red. Now if this happened and Crowder somehow was held in check from snapping Jones in two then Jones needs to be exposed, humiliated and sent packing. JMO, TIFWIW

Did you not read the account given? It was said he had to be pulled off him.

I understand Butch pulled a knife on Crowder and tortures puppies at home.

Come on guys.

Hmm...this seems to be complete BS.
Jumper story is plausible.

It's funny that these rumors are popping up now. I'm sure that if we had been 5-0, none of these rumors would have ever existed.

You would probably be surprised at the stuff no one hears about when you are winning.

Who was the coach that got fired for hitting one of his football players? Was it the old coach at USF?

IMO, posting these "rumors" is taking things too far. You are putting this information out there that goes beyond football, and goes into affecting a persons life. Accusing a coach of assault, because you are mad at him for losing games is just too low. I'm extremely pissed at how this season has went, but to goes as far as to accuse someone of assault, because you are mad is just wrong. Go vols

It's bad enough that so many called Mack Crowder's character into question when he was told to sit out practice even though he felt fine. To those of you that did. Shame on you. I alluded to something in an earlier post but was asked to not to talk about it. Again, credit to honor beyond due.

This happened. The description posted earlier is pretty accurate. Glad somebody decided it needed reported.

LWS is a careful smart poster. If he says it happened, it happened.

Thank you. Can't imagine the position Mack is stuck in --- could easily affect his playing/coaching career headed forward (if that is the career he wants). Jones should be fired today over the incident.
