I have no interest in defending Butch Jones in anything at all but I don't think the situation we ended up with regarding our offensive staff was his first choice.

In the offseason coaches have time to punish the players in other ways before the season starts. During the season about the only course of action is a suspension. You don't have time to sufficiently punish by other means.
He doesn't get it. He is the most stubborn coach ever and think he is smarter than everyone. He had 2 opportunities to change his career path and go from good to great in the same way that Dabo and James Franklin did when they gave up the reins of offensive completely to new hires in Morris and Moorhead. If they don't make those hires they are both prob not where they are now either. It changed their paths. Butch had that chance twice and he hired Debord and Scott. He had the chance to evolve and he didn't. He blew it and can only blame himself

I disagree. I think the whole search for a new OC/QB coach was a total sham and Butch knew who he was gonna hire the whole time.I have no interest in defending Butch Jones in anything at all but I don't think the situation we ended up with regarding our offensive staff was his first choice.
