Coach show starts in approximately 1.5 hours in Nashville.

Let me say this.....I like Butch....but my jury is definitely still out....

Last night was reminiscent of last years Florida loss. Just a complete meltdown.

THE ONE THING I'VE NOTICED ABOUT BUTCH SO FAR, IN THREE YEARS, IS THAT HE NEVER TAKES BLAME FOR ANYTHING.

THIS BOTHERS ME.

Once again, he has the chance to own some of the blame at least on camera.

True....the players didn't execute....especially a million missed tackles on defense in the 4th quarter.....BUT...the defense was on the field the entire second half due to a complete and utter coaching meltdown on offense.

NOT ONCE DID THE STAFF ATTEMPT TO GIVE THE BACKFIELD ANY HELP WITH THE CONTINUOUS BLITZING.

5 GUYS CANT BLOCK 6 OR 7 GUYS. SIMPLE MATH.

AND RUNNING CONTINUOUS DIVE PLAYS RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE WHEN THE OPPONENT HAS SNUFFED OUT THOSE PLAYS HOURS EARLIER IN THE CONTEST.

Anyone think Butch will admit he was out coached on the "Butch Jones Show" this morning? Can't wait to hear the excuses. He looked completely lost standing on the sidelines in the 4th quarter. More realistically, completely out of his league.

Nope, he doesn't want the players to believe that his methods and philosophy's don't work. it's the players fault they don't work not his.

I'm going to go with a solid no. He'll talk about execution and penalties and all that. He'll talk about the quality of OU and how great of a team they are and how young we are and depth. He will not blame himself or Debord.

I think he will own that the coaches have got to do a better job. But yeah he will mention youth and injuries that forced those young players into action. Then Kesling will have a lot of leading questions. To which the replies will be something like "well you're exactly right Bob we have to be better".

I chalk up the penalties to a lack of discipline. This goes back directly to coaching. There are some coaches that consistently have very few penalties. THIS part can be coached and I put that blame squarely on his shoulders. The poor play calling in the 2nd half is also on the coaches. Dobbs does not call the plays. Since these were the 2 biggest problems I saw, I think the coach deserves the blame for this debacle.

Not a chance, no way. If he wants to try and curry favor and gain back some respect from the fans who pay his salary, he'd do well to take a page out of Steve Spurrier's book and say what everybody knows....the coaching was bad and the loss was in him. But don't hold your breath.

We should have won outright I wont deny that, but then again according to thier rank we should have lost that game on paper. It does prove CBJ gets out coached time and time again. Might be why he was at Cincy instead of a power program. I bet he will say he needs Volnation to stand behind the team, it' process, we are young.

I've been a huge proponent of Butch and haven't minded how guarded and robotic he has been in interviews in the past. But damn, it would be nice to see a human moment from him for once right now.

The only reason I watch the Butch Jones show is for the features on the players. The rest of the show is nothing but sponsor commercials and coach-speak. That's not to say that I don't support the coach—I do. He's made tremendous improvements to the program since he came to UT.

However, there's much more work to do, and a large part of the failure to get it done last night falls within his realm of responsibility. I think he wants the time to breakdown the film before he'll even entertain the idea of admitting fault in any way. I believe he needs to address is the following: why has the passing game fallen apart even in the presence of an increase in capability from the O-Line?

Couldn't agree more. I want him to look in the camera and say this will never happen again under his watch. It's happened 3 times now. All at home. But as he said aren't a team that plays on emotion. Oklahoma was last night and they got the W. Maybe our coach needs to show more emotion.
