Tough game for the Champions of Life last night

[Enigmatic_Vol]

Lost a squeaker 34-30, stopped at the goal line as time expired. The familiar futility on Butch's face afterward brought back bad memories.

 

[General Jack]

Brings back memories of him trying to run read-option with an immobile QB. Any idea what the losing play call was?

I only saw the replay once, so I could be wrong, but it looked like a QB run around the right end that was stymied.

Not to mention NOT running Hurd out of the I…

Butch was blind to the talent he had and instead forced his system on a roster not optimized for that system…

Perfect Botch. Run 15 yards when you only need 1.

I thought he was having a stroke after the game.

Who is he yelling at? Himself? He looks insane.

Jethro Tull. 'Thick As a Brick' comes to mind.

 

[The Original Fade]

Brian Kelly protege so the red faced meltdown is expected

 

[IUGradVol]

Never a bad day when he loses.

Looks like a psychopath, still can't believe we hired that goon.

 

[General Jack]

Dang I almost feel bad for Butch after watching that.

Replace "looks" with "is"

Sgt Carter

Sgt Carter

You are dating yourself. I'll take it one step further - just think if the player that didn't execute on that critical play came up to him and said 'Golleeee. Coach Jones'. That's the kind of things that made Sgt Carter mad.

What s loser! My issue goes back to him quitting on the team.

 

[Tin Man]

0-8 in the SEC... Only on his watch.

His only virtue? He knew UT to be a career destination job and wanted it (despite being incapable of doing it).

Dobbs saved UT football during Jones' tenure. Without Dobbs? See line one of my post.

 

[Enigmatic_Vol]

Without Dobbs, he wouldn't have had a winning season during his tenure.

Looks like Sgt. Carter giving Gomer Pyle the business

 

[Volwark]

still can't believe we hired that goon.

At that time, the photos of Dave Hart picking him up at McGee-Tyson might be the darkest UT football moment for me.

Nope its has to be Beldar -- worst coach in UT history

Yep.

What's crazy with Jones is how thin the line was for him pretty much every season between being great and being terrible; which yeah you can say about many coaches but he was definitely a roller coaster and yes his talent especially Dobbs covered him. Every season he could have had more wins or more losses by changing just in some cases a few plays. And then 2017 it felt like it all caught up to him and given the first game with GT it could have ended even worse.

I still don't understand how he's gotten as many solid jobs as he has. Its pretty obvious he's as fake as he comes, but AD's still fall for it.

I think where he is at should be his ceiling, though even for Arkansas St. he seems to be underachieving. But any talk of him for a P4 job would be silly, even for the P4 teams that are never going to really compete. Even those jobs are above him at this point.
