Butch says it takes 6 to 7 years to build a program in the SEC

None of those teams are in the SEC. I would even argue that Fulmer's best teams would struggle to compete in today's SEC. Just seems like the season is longer and much more of a grind than in the past.

I will disagree on Fulmer's teams struggling against today's SEC. Fulmer's talent in the '90s would rate right there with what Saban has had. We were constantly having guys drafted in the 1st round and at one time had more NFL players than anybody. To say Fulmer underachieved with the talent he had would be an understatement. He should have had more SEC championships And at least played for a few more NC. But when it comes down to pure talent those '90s Fulmer teams could play with anybody and would win the majority of the games.

Saying it takes 6 years is more than subliminally saying he needs 6 years. So yes, that's what he said.

That's not what he said either. Listen to the damned interview. He said someone TOLD him it takes that long. It was in response to a question by Kesling. Good grief.

The "article" isn't an interview. It's a quote from the UT beat writer. Sorry I didn't hear it out of your mouth Butch, I've got better things to do than go to Calhoun's on Wednesday nights.

The idiot from Saturday Down South took it out of context for click bait. You and others jumped on it like they KNEW you would. He said it on Vol Calls.

It's archived on utsports.com. You don't have to go to Calhoun's. I think that it was about 15 minutes into the program.

Everyone who posted in this thread claiming Jones said he needed/wanted 6 or 7 years to build UT look like total idiots to those who ACTUALLY HEARD what was said. It's amazing to me how so many of you jump at anything. So, so gullible.

Those darn facts don't matter do they. Stupid context.

It's not SDS taking anything out, they simply posted a tweet from Dopirak. Blame the UT beat writer if you want to blame someone. It's not click bait; if someone didn't hear it and simply saw a quote from a "professional" who was there then it's taking it at face value. Bet you don't let Dopriak ask you any questions at the next PC.

If I had to compare fulmer to a coach in the sec today it would have to be les miles. Both had/has a lot of talent and everybody thinks they should've done more with it

So foolish. How many here posted what was really said and have told you and others where to hear it for yourself and yet you refuse. Instead you continue to spew your hatred and ignorance. LOL you, KB, Wylo etc are really showing everyone who you are. Keep it up, Y'alls credibility continues to plummet.

why do you think he said someone told him that? why do you think he found that important to note, if not to essentially say, "hey guys..sometimes this stuff takes longer than you think it should"? I mean, he didn't mention the guy who said he should win an sec title yr 3 did he?

It is like an interviewer saying, "some people have said..." to make a point the interviewer wants to make

I would have compared him to Richt also. But can definitely see the Less comparison also.

You posted it 4 posts ago. WTF are you talking about spewing BS? I didn't say it wasn't taken out of context, I said it wasn't a click bait article by SDS, they didn't write the quote, they simply posted it. What am I Butch? I'm the one in the stands every week buying season tickets and paying salaries. So who's ignorant?

He was asked a question. He went on in a conversation. Period. You and your ilk hear what you want to hear and sparse every word looking for some hidden meaning instead of just going on what was actually stated.
Let me let you in on a clue here. There's no big conspiracy theory with a 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll. Quit looking for bigfoot and join the real world. For Heavens sake.

You most definitely are. And with every post you remove any doubt some may still have. The answer was there all along yet you and your ilk wanted to drive this BS story (like with a certain Olineman a while back) so you once again ignored facts.
 
that hardly matters...bama was a mess under shula, and obviously why he was fired..saban comes in goes 26-2 with a nat'l title his first 2 yrs..if my point is wrong, again I will ask..where are the successful coaches at traditional powrs like tennessee that didnt win big by yr 2-3?

Alright I guess I am going to have to agree to disagree. I don't believe our situation is comparable and yes, I believe playing in today's SEC is a big part of the problem.
 
Build a program... Not a team. I think he's right. Building and elite program and an elite team are two different things. Programs are more than one team. Teams can be elite for a year programs can be elite for decades. You all look way too much into this stuff.

ok...the word is parse, but answer this question for me...why do you think he mentioned what a guy told him about 6-7 yrs? In the real world, for proper context, if you could.
