Butch Jones firing next?

[BigOrangeTrain]

He’s building a pink slip loss by loss and looks pathetic tonight versus a one win team.

Who cares?

Butch was better than Dooley and Pruitt, I’ll give him that

he was better than those two for two thirds of one season. but not the rest of his tenure.

 

[utchs81]

They won't fire him this year, he has a $157 buyout. If they wait until next year all they would owe him would be a 1 year Walmart+ membership!

Which begs the question did he make more for tending to Saban’s car and getting his coffee than he gets as head coach of Arkansas State?

 

[wmcovol]

Was under Saban long enough to learn a little and still can't get it done at a school like Ark St...he'll never get it done.

Saban taught some guys how to coach. He wasn’t 100% ( Dooley, Muschamp, Pruitt, Sinseri, Jones, etc)

He won 9 games in back to back seasons. What are you talking about?

 

[Vol Farmer]

Thank you for saying that. I know I don’t care

Imagine what that’s like. You were once coaching at the University of Tn. And now you’re struggling to beat a 1 win team in a the Sunbelt. Talk about humbling a man

 

[Kylo]

With his luck Kelly will go to Penn St and Botch will follow Kelly again at LSU.

That would be awesome. LSU down the crapper.

 

[adam.vol]

That would be awesome. LSU down the crapper.

He’s dumb enough to win at LSU. They’re a different breed.

If you don’t have an OC named Jimbo, you’ll need a grass eating Mad Hatter, or a wrestling Cajun as a HC.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

He'll be tooting his own horn after this win.

And NOW we know....

 

[overseasorange2]

anyone fell on a helmet lately on his team?

He really showed his temper on the sideline with some of his own players. I don't remember Heupel ever doing that

He learned how Saban takes his coffee. Nothing more.

The biggest knock on Butch is the 2017 season. The worst I have ever experienced as a UT fan, without a doubt. Other than that, definitely superior to Dooley and Pruitt.

 

[nomads-11]

Butch is his own worst enemy. I ACTUALLY thought a tutelage under Saban might actually teach him something. At this point I'd say he IGNORED all of it, went right back to his brick-by-brick philosophy ....i.e. he did his normal thing. Jesus, Jones that sh1t is what you got fired for in the first place. Why in the world would you, or ANYONE, even consider the same path. Yet genius here is right on queue. Fire him so he can get back to HS ball. What a pretender.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Lmao! The Big East was never a power conference in anything but basketball.

They were automatic qualifiers for the BCS. There were times they had Syracuse, Miami, Va Tech all capable of beating most anyone on a given day.

Well Pruitt won 8 once. Winning 9 games a couple of times isn’t that impressive when Jeremy Pruitt can almost do it once.
