Butch Jones players can’t win?

[Orange defense]

They seem to be trying, but it may be to much for them to overcome, even after good coaching. Some of them, but not all, just can’t get there yet. That is what Pruitt has been talking about.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Yep

 

[Chilmonty]

Brings me no pleasure but have to agree!?!?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

They were talented in high school against smalller & slower players.

Most of them look lost that can’t seem to do their assignments.

At some point, some of ya’ll are going to have to stop blaming Pruitt and the coaches.

We don’t have an legit SEC roster right now.

 

[norriscraftbasser]

Agree, some people blame the qb some blame the coaches, at some point though the players must execute on what the coaches coach. Too many mental mistakes and we have some players who just don't perform well under pressure.

So were the 2015 and 2016 teams not CBJ's?

 

[maotai]

Man the coach worshipers are out in full force today. It is like South Carolina used two tight ends on offense and abused the defense all night long.

Coaching is the main issue here and it doesn't have a thing to so with Pruitt. All of these upperclassmen were gifted athletes in high school but were never developed under Jones, now sadly the majority of them will never overcome bad habits and will be recruited over.

I was pretty stoked after the game last night and was about ready to hang them all. After a little time and reading Rucker, I've settled down some. We all kind of knew this year would be this way, and we are a little more competitive than we were the first of the year.

JP has to coach that Botch stink out of the Vols. We have a way to go.

 

[Boca Vol]

JP has to coach that Botch stink out of the Vols. We have a way to go.

And Butch had to coach the Dooley stink out of the Vols...and Dooley had to wash the Kiffin stink out of the Vols....on and on.

If these players don't know their assignments it is because they haven't been taught. That has zero to do with the prior staff and everything to do with this one.

If these players don't know their assignments it is because the current staff isn't teaching them and has nothing to do with CBJ and the prior staff.

Some of y'all need to ease up on the man-crush you've got going on for CJP.

Yep the lady 10 years have blown

 

[robtom]

Just punt the ball and give us a chance.........MS coaching mistake last night.

The truth is the truth. The discipline is on Pruitt. The lack of depth is in Jones.

 

[RollerVol]

getting stinky up in here and actually there's a few games to play...let's see who gives up first, fans or the players...fans have an edge right now...not me...still pulling for that 6-6 finish...

GO VOLS!

NO, those teams belonged to Josh Dobbs!

 

[Volinnooga]

Ive grown so weary of you guys blaming everything on Butch. This one is absolutely ridiculous

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

NO, those teams belonged to Josh Dobbs!

So this team belongs to JG?

What a ridiculous argument. CBJ and staff recruited and coached every player on that roster. So if you little fellers want to blame all the woes of this current team on him and his staff then you have to give him credit for the seasons he was here also.

This team should have won that game last night but were completely out-coached. That is on this staff

Butchie living rent free in their heads.

I personally think if some posters of VN would charge CBJ rent for the space he takes up in their head, UT could pay his contract off next week.

 

[Samuellbronkowitz]

Damn right.

Yeah...we know.

Nope. He was just lucky to stay out of the way. Many were recruited ahead of his arrival.
