The UT admin needs to understand

“Kids judge you by your car,” Jones told the Knoxville newspaper. “It’s crazy.”

A pretender ?? I like that.

The HC of Tennessee Football shouldn't need a Mercedes sports car, to impress recruits, Butch.

Sadly, I see Butch Jones driving up to a group of recruits in his nice Mercedes -- "Hey guys, see my new car / are you impressed with my Mercedes, guys? Oh, by the way, don't worry about the fact we just lost to Vandy and South Carolina this year / just wait 'til next year guys."

"Hey guys, who would like a ride in my shiny new Mercedes?"

Come up Butch -- Ditch the Mercedes. Go Vols.

From the looks of this recruiting class so far he'd need a Lamborghini and I'm not sure that would matter at this point. At some point substance sells better than flashy cars and corny clichés, bricks and all that trash. He lacks substance after actively pursuing the Purdue job and he has no more mortar for his bricks.
 
finess football does not work in the SEC
It doesn't. If it wasn't for Dobbs they wouldn't have been able to run at all. He opened up the running game for Kamara. If they had to line up and get a tough yard they wouldn't have been able to do it.
 
that UT fans are tired of losing to Alabama every year

I know some of you youngsters think that Florida is our biggest rival, but it will always be Alabama to a majority of us

Im sick and tired of hearing Bama fans rattle off and having to smell cigarettes and cheap liquor on their breath

I'm sick and tired of hearing Roll Tide and seeing every other redbeck in Tn wearing an Alabama shirt and a frickin gray penis on their head

I'm tired of hearing about how they will never lose again

I'm tired of having to explain to 70% of their fans that before Saban, we owned their ass for 11 years in a row( I stand corrected. I had forgot 2002 and 2005 were Bama wins)

I'm tired of their smug ass attitudes

Most of all, I'm tired of a UT AD that doesnt recognize how important beating Alabama is to this school and going out and doing everything necessary to see it comes to an end

Go Vols

Yeah just look at the way ....oh wait.,,there's NO ONE on the face of this earth that has figured out how to beat Saban year in and out.,,and I said Saban because he'll never represent Alabama to me.,,it's the University of Nick Saban..,,and he was their fourth choice as head coach..,

Dungy is the overrated one. Gruden was the only coach in forever to make the Raiders good, and in fact built the team that he then dominated in the Super Bowl. I bet some of you were the ones saying "Don't worry about Bama hiring Saban, he's overrated."

Dungy went on to put together another Super Bowl team in Indianapolis and Gruden went on to obscurity on the football field and became a nice face made for TV where he excels. As a football coach? Not so much, one and done with Dungy's team.

Yeah I like Gruden and think he could still coach. I just don't see it happening. If it was going to he already would have.

I absolutely believe Gruden benefited from Dungys work too. Yes he destroyed his old Raiders team with the Dungy Bucs. And Dungy went on to more success at Indy. Gruden is forever frozen at that Bucs moment. I think Dungy has the more complete resume.

Think a great deal of both but personally I have to tip the hand to Dungy in the comparison for complete body of work.

That "guy" had the benefit of winning with a team Tony Dungy put together. He was a one and done coach. Nothing significant before or after his one and done season with Tony's team. He thanks his lucky stars he has to no longer coach as he was exposed IMO. Bring him back to college football, especially on The Hill would be a massive fail, he knows it and anybody that was in Tampa Bay while he was there knows it.

Yeah, but a one hit wonder who hasn't coached in years with the best QB that's never played a college down is a sure CFP winner. Kinda surprising a lot of the experts here manage to get from the bed (or wherever they passed out) to the bathroom in the morning.
 
We had a guy in line to take care of that 4 years ago, but our AD mucked it up.


Horse ****. Gruden was never coming to Tennessee. He makes more in his soft cushy job as a color guy than any school would ever pay.

I guess you also believe in Bigfoot....:p

So was Bobby Dodd; that's why GA Tech is in the ACC now. Bobby Bowden picked the ACC over the SEC because he didn't think they could be #1 playing in the SEC. Urban Meyer felt that playing in the SEC was hazardous to his health even without the AL fan diet and lifestyle.

There's enough ex-SEC coaches who failed to produce acceptable winning seasons to fill a moderate size graveyard - the AL machine chewing people up and spitting them out has a lot to do with it. Not that you could ever prove anything, but there's probably reasonable doubt that AL plays by the same rules that the rest of the conference does.

Funny thing is that everybody seems to accept that the SEC is in a "down" year because AL is so dominant and the great sports analysts have proclaimed it so, but bowl season will probably prove them wrong again. But one thing for sure is that as long as schools keep replacing coaches in an attempt to match AL, they will lag behind while trying to reach some level of stability - 4 year coaching stints won't get you there.

Gruden did well in Oakland in spite of Al Davis being bat **** crazy at the time. Oakland shoulda, woulda, coulda stopped the Brady-Bellichik run early with the infamous "tuck rule" BS.

Of course, the NFL explained that rule very carefully. Tuck rule= we hate Al Davis and will screw him every chance we get!

Tuck rule really means f-- al davis rule! :p
 
I wish the old school folk would understand the younger folk could care less about playing Alabama every year. Cancel the series and play a rotating opponent. Giving ourselves an automatic SEC loss every year kills our SEC title hopes.

Go back to your safe place.

It may be that the SEC IS down, and bammer has profited from a weak schedule compared to other years. I mean heck, Ole Miss gave them a really good game and ended up 5-7.

It may just be that they lose a playoff game here, because they look better than they are.

I know they stomped USC sr, but that was before USC replaced it's QB.
 
I find it funny how folks move the target to support their agenda. Prior to this season it was just "beat Florida" and I will be happy. Since that was accomplished folks are now saying the target was really Alabama. Make up your dang mind.

Most fans said..."beat FL and go to ATL."

Not sure of your age, but John Madden ring a bell?
 
That's the new aged thinking. They also think bringing in finesse football 101 coach Mark Helfrich is a good idea. Bob shoop again on the other side of the ball. You're not going to beat Bama with that flash in the pan garbage.
Its funny, didn't Bama just switch to that flash in a pan, with that freshman qb?

They use it when when they want too. They can also line up and run you over. They're multiple. Tennessee has charts. They also use it because Hurts is that type of QB. If Coker was there they wouldn't use any zone read concepts at all.
 
I can't believe people are still defending this guy then. I'm ready for him to GTFO. He obviously wants out. Maybe Indiana will hire his snake oil salesman azz. No wonder he hasn't said a word. What a thin skinned crap coach.. I didn't know he did that. I'm done with him.

Wow are you easy to convince. Someone says ' people in the know' have said BUT. No reliable source other than possibly a local radio guy searching for ratings... well done

NO--It doesn't!!!

Losing to Bama this year cost us NOTHING....It was losing to SC and Vandy that killed us!!!

You young bloods need to learn to use your brain to think instead of filling it with video games.....:crazy:

I'm only 26 but trust me. I was raised to hate Alabama from a young age. It doesn't help they are winning titles and we are laughable. I pray for alabamas failure every day.
