Butch Jones stealing ideas from CJH?

I don't much care for Lyle Allen myself. I don't even blame him for his failure at the UT. I blame the AD director and school itself for being mental deficient and tightwads. Not having the sense or guts to value the program enough to hire a proven coach at a time we most needed one. Wrong as I might be, I blame them for not forward-thinking by keeping Fulmer one more year. I think the embarrassment of the team collapse and loss to Wyoming would have lit a campfire under his fat butt. In an effort to redeem himself, I think he would have fielded a team that would have been much more competitive. Either way, the Oh, the water is cold!" hire of a JUCO level coach for a storied SEC program was inexcusable. Butch eventually failed because he had no business being here to begin with, but our imbecile administrators brought him in anyway.

Now, with the above being said, you folks enjoying yourselves the opportunity of belittling a guy no longer here, hence irrelevant, have the guts if not the dignity to also acknowledge what little success he did have. He once led a team that came close to beating Bama. If not for a last minute fumble, they might have pulled it off. Not since the Kiffin led Mount Cody game have we made the Crimson Crude sweat so profusely. He even twice led teams to near wins over Florida teams, then finally beat them. We haven't sniffed such proximity with either Bama or Florida since. Show your nastiness by curb stomping the guy if you wish, but have the gall and strength of character to give some credit where it's due as well.

What you said is true. But with the talent he had he should have played in Atlanta at least twice (especially in '16) where his gross incompetence was a glittering jewel at season's end. Our talent hasn't been the same since - albeit rebuilding (as we've done for so many years I can't remember).

This does it. He's done enough stealing from us! UT better tell him to lawyer up!

As soon as I saw then thread title I thought “Lemme guess… dodgeball.”

At least some of his players will experience winning at something.

I laughed when I saw your comment because it described me to a tee back in high school PE class. Being of small stature, I relished a chance to go up against bigger guys in a game of dodgeball. I was a smaller target, and I played with malice. Those red rubber balls that went ping! ping! ping! when bounced were the greatest. I would always aim for the head or the groin. My favorite target was the guy who was out, walking off the floor but not paying attention. The way I saw it, if you're in the field of play you were a valid target, even if I knew you were out. Oh the memories.

I'm just looking forward to the day he gets fired from Ark State and takes an analyst job at Coastal Carolina.

True comment...he compared his time at bama to halftime of a game. Well no wonder he went 2-10 at Ark State, everyone with an ounce of football knowledge knows he can't adjust a game plan for crap. Not sure what he did at halftime at UT, we almost always did worse in the second half. The team would have been better staying on the field to run a few practice plays.

Which is why I said a JUCO level head coach didn't belong at a storied SEC program. This hire was all on our administration at the time. It was tantamount to entering a Shetland pony in the Kentucky Derby. It loses not due to its own fault, rather because of the logic-defying nitwit owners who entered it into a race it didn't belong.

I do not indulge in the despite some express for Butch Jones. That said, Josh Heupel is a coach. Butch Jones wants to be one.
