Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

This is not a 9 win team. LOL.

With proper strength, conditioning, and on-field coaching, I believe it is.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Why would Butch tell the kid to look somewhere else? Why not stick around and wait to see who is coming in and keep your commitment to your original school? Douche.

Yep. That’s Kiffin level douchery. Butch couldn’t handle the pressure and expectations that come with the SEC and Tennessee.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Trey Wallace saying that Ingle wasn’t the only recruit Butch called on his way out. TIFWIW.

What a joke.

Get out. He has lost all of my respect

 

[Kingston Vol]

**** Butch Jones

I would like to see what this team could do with a good off season of a true S&C program, specific work on developing specific units/groups, and starting the season healthy with all our top talent on the field with a new perspective and new coach... will be interesting.

 

[Hammer85]

There was more to the Ingle thing. I saw more that basically Butch told him if he landed a job somewhere else, he would give him a call.

We have plenty of talent. We can win 8-9 next year. UGA, Bama and Auburn are the only guaranteed loses.

STATEMENT FROM TENNESSEE VICE CHANCELLOR/DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS JOHN CURRIE

"I would like to emphasize how much I appreciate Butch and Barb Jones and their sons, Alex, Adam and Andrew. The Jones family has poured their heart and soul into this Tennessee football program and the Knoxville community. We have been fortunate to have Coach Jones lead our program for the last five years. During that time, the program has improved tremendously in the areas of academics, discipline and community involvement.

"Unfortunately, we are not where we need to be competitively. For that reason, I have asked Coach Jones to step down as head football coach. I know Coach Jones will be successful moving forward, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

"Coach Brady Hoke has been named interim head coach. I know Vol Nation will rally around this team and support our student-athletes as they compete the remainder of this season.

"An exhaustive search is underway for a person of the highest integrity and character with the skills and vision to propel Tennessee to championships. This search will be my sole focus, and I will be in regular contact with Chancellor Davenport. I want to make clear that we are intensely committed to hiring the best coach for Tennessee."

@JoshSmith_25: Boy you love attention huh? Maybe you were apart of the problem, but we will never know. 🤷🏻*♂️


👀👀

Who is he responding to?

 

[OrangenSC]

Coaching search season is the best season. Now the fun really starts

I know right. See what Bama fans are missing? I feel sorry for them.

@JoshSmith_25: That was for this tweet..

UGA and Auburn are not even close to guaranteed losses.

 

[BigZiti09]

Lost 3 commits already. Where’s bass? Thought firing butch was supposed to stop the bleeding on recruiting?

Thanks Currie.

I was secretly hoping Butch would ease out with Class, knowing his body of work would allow him to land somewhere more fitting, but if he is going bush-league on his way out, F that guy. SERIOUSLY.

Search is already underway I see. Hmm....

 

[BeecherVol]

A perfect world would announce Gruden on monday as next head coach, but I have a feeling this will drag on until end of december.

I think that answer comes a lot quicker than that. A lot.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Maybe not guaranteed but pretty close. Both being away games won’t help our chances any.

 

[gordonr24]

Who is he responding to?

Chris Weatherd I believe

If they were solely committed to butch I don’t want them anyways.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

With proper strength, conditioning, and on-field coaching, I believe it is.

I don't think so. I'd say 8-4 will be the ceiling.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Lol at Butch thinking he's going to get hired somewhere where he can poach Tennessee recruits. He'll be lucky to find a job period.

 

[Blake25p]

Search is already underway I see. Hmm....

I think he’s been looking for weeks, and has found his guy. Doubt this coaching search lasts long IMO

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Lol at Butch thinking he's going to get hired somewhere where he can poach Tennessee recruits. He'll be lucky to find a job period.

Yep. And Ingel putting that out there is prettt telling imo.

Mobile AL is beautiful this time of year.

 

[BigZiti09]

They were committed to the whole package in most cases. Every coach we have is getting fired most likely.

This is mostly just to show how dumb it was to yell fire butch every time we lost a commit. As if that would fix it.
