Another questionable quote from Butch today

I really believe CBJ and his staff laugh at the reaction to some of the things that he says .... it is hilarious to me to see some of the elementary responses to what he says .... it reminds me of gossiping middle school kids and you should know by now that he does not care about your reactions ... which is a good thing for sure .... I worked in a career for over 30 years where guys would say things just to see what type of reactions they would get and some would be priceless .... as long as we have this dynamic in society guess who's in charge of the narrative...for reference check the Oval Office😂😂😂

I thought so too.
Chancing the risk for the rewards, another first for him. Would be nice if all these changes payoff.

You got 2 guys with little and no live action. Worth the risk IMO.

I've been pretty critical of him but I will say he is at least doing some things different and making changes. Have no idea if they pan out, but he is at least making some moves.

No, I agree completely.
Hate mistakes but hate them worse when people don't try something new/different.
Glad he's trying anyway.

Yep.

I'm still not sure he's anything but a mediocre coach with a likable demeanor but it's time to make a move and the first way wasn't good enough.

I'll be that, I guess. I made the thread, I'll own my stance. It doesn't change the fact that Butch chose to talk about this topic.

Why even dance around "championship" talk when you can't win your own division?

If anyone cares about things that pertain to actual fb, Jones said something else today:
For the first time (in his tenure) to help the young QB's and receivers, they will participate in some 7 on 7 drills in future practices.

I think this is a smart move. New QB, young receivers. They need all the timing practice they can get. You can't get it vs. air.

I don't have as much of an issue with this quote.

We contended until the USCe/Hurd fiasco not to mention injuries set us back.

We beat the three best SECeast teams not named Tennessee (FL, GA, UK).

Unfortunately we played aTm about 4 weeks too early before their annual November swoon. (swap the USCe dates & aTm and we probably win both of them.

Vandy was a hangover from FL clinching the SECeast. Team Captains/leadership/coaches letdown.

Exactly, and honestly, a loss to SC kept us from playing in the SECCG. We are a lot better than we were. Let's see how this year goes, and then start making definitive judgements on Butch and his new staff. Do we have to jump on everything the man says? Good Grief... I bet Beilema (or however you spell his name) has said the same, so has every other coach in the SEC. C'mon give the man a break!

How did that work back in 2005?

Need a poll.

Who is sillier:

1. Butch Jones
2. All of us on Vol Nation
3. Those of us on Vol Nation who take ourselves seriously.

If UT is in a position where they can win out, and they still need an opponent, whom they've already beaten(Florida), to lose two games in order to win the division, then UT is not a contender for the division at that point.

At that point the divisional race becomes Florida's to lose rather than ours to win.

Kind of like Tennessee in '97?

Butch also managed to play Florida into the SECCG and AUB into the sugar, found ways to lose to lesser talented teams in vandy and uscjr (with all of our injuries we were still much better than both) and one of the ugliest defenses I've ever seen ut field. Last year was pissed away with bad off season coaching changes.
