'14 NC RB Derrell Scott (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[VOLINVONORE]

I've heard him say it at the end of practice.

CBJ praises effort at practice and during games. I does not like those who do not give effort. He can except mistakes made during effort because they can be corrected. If you give the effort, you earn the praise.

The videos show a small portion of the practice during a predetermined period. Judging Butch's temperament off of them is the definition of basing an opinion off too little information. The large majority of what he hear from the team is that they love playing for the whole staff and it feels like a big family.

No one said players don't like playing for him. If the couple hours I watched though it was 99% negative motivation, which I'm not saying is a bad thing. The explosive yelling cursing red faced Butch we see a lot of is contrary to the book he was quoting, all I was saying. I seriously doubt he's a completely different disposition in practice than he is on gameday. Every coach I've ever had is just like that, and I'm not criticizing. Just pointing out the irony.

I would say that you have to see the full range of interaction to get the proper picture. If someone has proven to me that they love me and want the best for me, I am much quicker to accept negative reinforcement.

I will guarantee that Butch has proven off the field that he is a fountain, respects those who are fountains, and cares for the kids, so that when they put the pads on and get in the trenches he can spur them on to doing more. I do not see that as an irony at all; actually reminds me of some leaders in my life that I respect greatly.

Best way to gauge: Staff retention.

In my day I was taught that as long as the coach was yelling at you things would be OK. The real worry was when they stopped yelling which meant they had wrote you off.

I've seen him mad at coaches and refs. I've heard him use negatives in jest at practice, but most of the team really likes and respects him. Where do you get that he is "brutally negative"?

That's called being a coach. Anyone that's played sports has heard it. Playing a sport isn't for thinned skinned sensitive people.

Haha, never heard it put that way, but that was certainly true of my coaches.

Speaking as an employer, this is spot on.

 

[TriedAndTrueVOL]

I think that's right unless the NCAA says you can play immediately.

That's rare though...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I find it ironic that the Jon Gordon book that's from talks constantly about only being positive and how people respond best to positive statements and coaching, while Butch is known for being brutally negative as a motivation tool. Not advocating one or the other, so no one start that argument, just pointing out the irony.

Jeez you are like a broken eff'n record. Irony is you pointing out negativity.

Hahahahahahaha.

Jeez you are like a broken eff'n record. Irony is you pointing out negativity.

I've never said Butch's coaching style is bad. But Jon Gordon books use explosive yelling coaches as examples of what not to do, and Butch seems to be an explosive yelling coach.

I dislike Jon Gordon, I think he's a fraud. I'd never read him if my previous boss didn't make me. It was truly pointing out irony.

I don't care about Jon Gordon's book. I am saying that you pointing out negativity is ironic. It is amusing to me. You have been incessantly negative all year. At least you are consistent. I wish you would quit acting like Fade Routes long lost twin, and cheer up a little. Whatever bad s*** you want to throw at Butch and co. Just admit one thing, this program is already in light years better shape than he found it.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And screw Derrell Scott. I have heard enough bad crap on that little traitorous leech, I dont care if he ever plays again. I hope he gets buried on NC states depth chart too.

Per Hubbs

VolQuest.com first reported last week that Derrell Scott and Dewayne Hendrix had elected not to participate in the initial bowl practices and were contemplating their futures in Knoxville. That continues to be the case, with growing skepticism that either player returns next semester. Scott's issues seem to be related to homesickness and it's likely he would return to North Carolina and go to school. But that doesn't necessarily mean an ACC school. It could potentially be somewhere like East Carolina.

 

[Aesius]

In the video where Butch tells the team they're going to the Gator Bowl, you can see Scott sitting off by himself when the camera pans and he shows no reaction when all the other players are going crazy.

He's been mentally checked out for a while.
