Didn’t Butch pass on Trevor Lawrence due to him not fitting his system? Lawrence grew up a TN fan and wanted to sign with the Vols. Without Dobbs, Jones would not have lasted as long as he did in Knoxville.

Regarding the running backs, he also kept Kamara on the bench in favor of Hurd.

I never said Butch was a good or decent HC. All I said is he's far superior to Pruitt. Take a look at their Y3s and let me know how Pruitt wouldnt be Butch's b!tch...

Again, Butch signed and played Dobbs. Pruitt signed HB and gave him less than 10 reps in fall practice while the team imploded behind Mr. PICK 6

I agree that CBJ is a better coach than CJP, but that really isn’t saying much.

Barnett was fun to watch i miss watching him coming off the end. Dude was big time.

Butch, by no means a defensive guru, knows you have to pressure the QB in 2020. Pruitt hasnt signed a rusher near the caliber of Darrell Taylor either (although Rocker did a good job developing him before Pruitt let him go for not recruiting well enough)...

To be completely objective about the whole “Starting Hurd over Kamara” thing.... we were 5-0 with Hurd as our starter that year, with wins over Georgia and Florida. We didn’t lose until we started Kamara against A&M. We actually ended up going 4-4 with Kamara as our starter. Now that’s not in any way to suggest those losses were Kamara’s fault, we all know he was the better back, but objectively speaking, starting Hurd really didn’t hurt us.

Dobbs is a smart guy. If he persues a coaching career after the NFL, maybe he can come back and be UT's head coach sometime down the road.

I don’t think he has a future in football after his playing days are over. Not slamming him but pointing out that he has other dreams and passions beyond football.

Derrick Barnett was special also. Tying Reggie Whites sack record.

Barnett was at an elite level. One of the best college defensive ends I've seen.

I feel like every play he got pressure on the QB.

Every damn play.

Guy is definitely up there with Manning and Berry in my opinion.

Say what you want, but I just watched UT highlights from 2013-2017 on YouTube, and my takeaway was that any one of Butch’s Vol teams would beat this current team by 4 TDs

My other takeaway was that Dobbs might be one of the best QBs we’ve had since Manning. I should’ve appreciated him more.

Thoughts?

You should enter the fan transfer portal.

Nobody should be allowed to say a single good word about Butch.

Butch was lucky to have Dobbs.

CAN YOU IMAGINE

Butch plus JG for 4 years????? You think that would have worked out any better?

Butch recruited Dobbs, Putrid evi can’t recruit a QB worth a damn.

That 13 and 17 weren't beating any of Pruitt's teams. Especially 17.

At least Butch Jones had the competence to play Josh Dobbs. If Pruitt was in charge while Josh Dobbs was here, he would've been benched because he didn't practice well enough.

Butch sat Dobbs until he was the only option, and the last half of 2013, Butch was trying to throw the ball like he was a pro style passer instead of letting Dobbs run the read option like he had forced Worley to.
