A final thanks to Coach Jones

[volfannbama]

We appreciate the work ethic, recruiting top players, bring in Josh Dobbs and other players to represent the University well. The bowl games were fun and several exciting games.

No need to dwell on the negatives, at the end of the day it just wasnt good enough. No hard feelings and good luck in the future.

Thank you for cleaning up the mess left by Kiffin/Dooley. Good luck in whatever you do next.

 

[Fayettvol]

You tried so hard butch and got so far but in the end it didnt really matter

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Well said. Things just didn’t work out like any of us wanted, Butch included. Good luck in the future.

Thanks for lecturing us on your offense and being arrogant your first three seasons.
In the end, your offense and arrogance led to your firing.

Good riddance.

Thanks for the two 9-4 season, snapping the Florida streak, and 3 very fun bowl games. That is it.

Edit: and also for not coaching the last two games this season. Best decision you have made in 5 years.

 

[BldnOrngNAtl]

Amen, dont like where we are or all the bashing but what needed to be done, now has been. Thank you and good luck.

 

[TN_Transplant]

Thanks for the recruiting.

No question he gave his All and truly loved Tennessee. But, you have to win. Both 2015 and 2016 could have been extraordinary. He just didn’t get it done. It wasn’t from lack of effort or desire. I’ll leave it at that.

 

[Volatility]

He was way better than Dooley and pulled in top talent. I hope he does well wherever he goes next.

No. Butch is a SHARK. He very aggressively renegotiated his contract and I think he has purposefully tanked our ****ing season because he wanted the buy out and wanted to walk. Impossible to prove but.. the play calls, the schemes..

Here is a thought to our current AD.. whoever we get next.. god forbids he goes 8-4 in his third season, do NOT give him an extension with a massive buy out. Who the **** is going to hire away an 8-4 coach for more than his current salary? Why do AD's suck so bad at leveraging contract talks?

Always good to reveal a lack of class.

 

[SuperVol]

The only thing I appreciate is you leaving.

With you 110% on this.

I've never seen a more arrogant and unlikeable coach. People bought the snake oil and I can see why, but this year really exposed it. Feel bad for whoever picks up this guy and has to deal with him.

Thank goodness its over. We can move on and rebuild.

 

[alaVOL]

Thanks for leaving the next coach a lot of young talent to quickly turn this boat around.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Thanks Butch for giving it your best shot.

Unfortunately, you didn’t do your job right.

At the end of the day, it’s still a business.

Good luck to whatever your next destination might be.

 

[RollerVol]

thanks for not coaching the last two games...take the money and run...you were well paid for anything you did here, so...:salute:

GO VOLS!

 

[real orange]

goodluck to CBJ

 

[Catbone]

Meh

 

[gorockytop98]

We thanked him by paying him too much money.

Screw Butch Jones.

 

[Fayettvol]

Already rumors that vandy is looking at him for recruiting coordinator

 

[CountVolcula]

Just give it a bit

Your idea of who Butch Jones really was is about to be shock you

I couldn’t agree more. I am very thankful for him “ righting the ship “ however, it’s time for a much bigger and faster sail

Brush up on your masonry skills Butch, remember brick by brick you *****.
