2-2 vs Vandy
0-3 vs Muschamp

are all the stats you need to know. If Butch had some conference (real conference like SEC) or NC wins those horrible stats could be excused to some extent, but he does not.

Don't want to put in his conference champion statistics?

2-8 (Ties don't count)
4-6 (Ties do count)​

But those don't help push the idea that CBJ is awesome do they?

The effort required to make the case that Butch is a good coach is FAR greater than the effort required to prove he's not.

 

[Chitlin&theDude]

1-3 against FL. 0-4 against Bama (3 blowouts) 0-3 against Muschamp. 2-2 against Vandy. 0 East championships.

Stop it. The verdict on butch came in this year.

I coached peewee football for a couple of year. We got beat pretty bad by another team. Our league was 8-9 year olds, Half my team was 6-7 year olds. The team that whipped up on us was later removed from our league for playing 10-11 year olds. I wonder if those people were happy about beating us and wonder how good they would have done against teams that were comparable to them?

and people wonder why us realistic types repeat ourselves. Different hype excuse everyday, requires the same answer.

Yea, let's start over again...we're not moving in the right direction....

Which bowls? How many BCS bowls? How many new years 6 bowls? How many sec title games?

Plenty of coaches can win 6 games multiple years in a row. Are we in this thing to see how many bowl games we can go to in a row? If that's true then we are way overpaying our coach. Thousands of people are good enough to accommplish that.

I challenge your notion that we have to start all over again by hiring a new coach.

So, because someone doesn't agree with your opinion you want them to commit suicide?

Still trying to distract from his underachievement at UT I see.

What that 6-2 record tells you as much as anything is that he has taken teams to lower level bowls than what their talent could have accomplished. That is definitely the case for the last two years.

His overall win % is not very good. In fact, his best years come to around Fulmer's average career win %. That becomes even worse when you consider his results against teams with winning records. I have not looked at the numbers at UT which have probably improved simply on the basis of playing down in 3 OOC games every year. However, his winning % against teams with a winning record at Cincy was under 40%.

His % at UT is obviously not very good and below the historic winning % of the program.

I didn't arrive to this level of skepticism easily. He had to earn it... and has in spades. Successful SEC coaches are overachievers. They make their teams better than the sum of their talent. Jones in his 10 years has not demonstrated the ability to do that.

It's the same ceiling though.


Golden opportunity to take the next step and failed. Yes Tennessee is winning and scoring a lot of points but struggle against quality teams, struggle to maintain focus, and teach fundamentals.

If Jones were fired after next season, he would leave a roster good enough for the next coach not to "start over again"... and he might just move the program in the right direction.

Actually he didn't coach in the 2012 Belk Bowl, Coach Strip did. Nor did he coach that 2009 Bowl Game

I hope you are not serious! If you are, this is one of the most ignorant posts on volnation I have ever seen. This is like saying because Bear Bryant never beat General Neyland Bear Bryant was a terrible coach! This posts says more about you than it does Jones' coaching ability.
