Bye bye Butch - Purdue bound (message board rumor)

Yes you have to break habits your use to. If I was butch, I would go after Casey clausen as qb coach/assistant OC. Bring shoops assistants on board, and we will have a top tier coaching staff.

If Butch does leave how do you feel if Vols hired PJ Fleck?
 
So is this fake or what? Has anyone actually seen or heard from Butch? Have any recruits said he's been to see them since the Vandy game? The only thing that makes me wonder is the 3 decomitts and Marquez Bembry had a vague tweet someone posted.

He was my favorite QB. I bet we lose some assistants so Shoop will get his guys.
 
Clawfence is a good example. He was micro managed and had none of his people. He goes everywhere else and succeeds. That's because he has his guys and they all understand.

I'll get flamed from people not smart enough to know Clawson can coach, but I often wonder: what if UT left things intact another year? Tajh Boyd and others coming in, Aaron Douglas, etc. Let him develop his system. I honestly regret my stance then. I wish we could have seen it play out another year. Clawson would have been HC eventually. Latrell Scott wasnt bad either although his dui trouble has hindered his career

The next hire has to be a big name. They have to open up the checkbooks. No more up and comers unless it was jim bob cooter

From what I'm hearing the things or people that have to be in line for that to happen are getting on the same page.

Now, take away 4 defensive tackles, 2 star linebackes, star cornerback and run a base form of jancek defense with some of shoops......

You can't play without that many people gone. It's just not possible, it catches up to you. We aren't deep like bama or Florida right now. Bama has recruited number 1 for 8 straight years.

So pretty much they're either a lesser level booster that has little to no say in what happens with a program, or you made it up.

He saw it on twitter and is trying to look like an insider. You think Butch Jones told players and recruits he is leaving and they haven't said a word??? Its a total lie.

That's exactly what I read back a few months ago after spring practice.

I think it's safe to say that the experiment did NOT work on defense.

I wasn't sure, but I'd heard that from somebody I figured would know.

In addition, the best defenses are built from the inside out. Today they want to be multiple, meaning they want to be able to be a 4-3 front and a 3-4 front while running different stuff (nickel) in the back end...but you have to take away running between the tackles...Think, Suh, Haynesworth, etc...

We lost O'Brien, that was huge in terms of being multiple and the losses of Tuttle and Mckenzie as well as the MLB and Safety...that is very difficult to overcome and it forces everyone to try to overcompensate and the trust in knowing where everyone is s'posed to be gets lost...that's probably being over simplistic, but to me the last couple of games, defensively, that's what it looked like.

Barnett was getting his, Vereen was getting his...but we were weak in the one place you can't be weak. The middle of the field.
