Butch - “Offensive Issues Are Due To Players Not Executing.”

In fairness I watched USC Trojans get boat raced by Notre Dame and Brian Kelly Saturday night using this same offense. The issue is the coaching and CBJ owns what is on the field lock, stock, and barrel. Not the players, not the administration, not the fans, not the media, just him and the staff he hired owns what is happening on the field.

Wrong. Players have to do their jobs.

Which is more likely?

The HC is a genius with an unbeatable scheme but every kid on the team is intellectually subnormal.

The HC is not very good at coaching.

Exactly, and even if it was true that "every kid on the team is intellectually subnormal," it's still on the coaches because they recruited these "intellectually subnormal" players.

True to a point. But think about it, are all these guys on UTs roster just 2 and 3* nobodies? I mean did they come from little tiny schools? No they did not. Many of these guys were highly recruited and rated guys. Now that means these players are supposed to have talent. Yes coaching is a big part of it but its not all of it. You can be the best coach in the world but if your guys dont execute, then you arent going to win.

Take Alabama last year losing to Clemson. What happened? Was it Sabans coaching that cost them the game? Was it Bama player execution failures? What about when Bama lost to Hugh Freeze? Was Freeze the better coach? Or was it Sabans players just screwed it up? All of you who assign zero blame to players are just flat out wrong.

Well at least the mods are in a "positive" mood today. A Jones quote and sentiment revolving around a series of Jones quotes are not the same thing. Just for the record.

I loved the part when Jimmy asked him about the talent disparity or somethingaong those lines between us and UGA and Bama. Jones said they are very talented with a lot of juniors and seniors who have played a lot of football, especially on defense.
Phillips-junior
Tuttle(although hurt) junior
McKenzie-junior
Kongbo-junior
Vickers-junior
Taylor -rssophomore
Jumper-junior
Mostly-sr
Martin-sr
Abernathy-jr
Gaulden-rs jr
Wiggins fifth he sr
That's on defense!!!! Somewhere we are missing something. Are the players just not that good or is development that bad. I'm going with number two.

No not seriously but tired of Butch throwing everyone but himself under the bus every time we lose. Plenty of blame to go around this year. Just a play on his use of the word "execution".

WRs are horrible.

On one play where bama blitzed off the corner. Calloway didn't run to the spot the blitzing DB vacated. Instead he ran to the safety and tried to block him. Running to the spot the DB vacates is the hot read for the qb who sees Te corner blitz. Instead JG had no read and got sacked.

That is embarrassing bad. Makes them look like a ragtag team.

No. Not really. You/ve taken a program that executes at a very high level and equate the few execution errors it makes against one of the best teams in the country to the general lack of execution by Jones' team.

The lack of execution by Jones' teams going all the way back to his 1st year... is the issue. This isn't a new development. This is a pattern than a few of us here recognized as a possibly fatal flaw going back to Vandy in '13.

My hope in Jones hinged on him maybe being an execution focused coach like Cutcliffe. He talked about it. But ultimately he doesn't have the talent to make it happen.

There ARE teams who execute so well that they can make it work even when everyone knows what's coming. Jones is not a coach who can get a team to that point... and is very unlikely to ever be that good.

UT used to be a team like that. There wasn't a damn thing the other team could do about it.

Jones' scheme has been questioned since Year 1.

And in Year 5 he is still throwing his players under the bus.

The only one I am concerned with executing this vaunted,mythical offense at this point is Currie.

Hopefully he executes it soon and puts it in a shallow grave.
