CBJ: “We want five-star hearts and five-star competitors.”

That's no where near embarrassing. That was all on the media. The most embarrassing thing I've ever seen Butch do is lose to Vandy & South Carolina. The whole Champions of Life gimmick was wayyyy blown out of proportion. At this point, I really don't care what Butch has to say whether it's positive or negative. I want to see him win ball games this 2017 season.
This. He can say whatever he wants,JUST WIN.

Cool story, too bad it had nothing to do with what you just said. You said it would be forgotten, "Champions of Life" hasn't.

But please, keep that spin cycle going.

The history being repeated and the life champions is a lie. How do you combat a lie when the ones repeating it don't have enough self respect to get the facts right? You're blaming butch for something he can't control. It's amazing to watch UT fans even be forced to have these conversations

He's talking about Hurd and Preston Williams. 5* players with a 1* heart. Butch wants players who'll work hard to improve this team instead of quitting when they don't get their way. It's not that much of a big deal like some posters are bringing it out be. Literally nothing to see here.

Butch slurper

His point isn't dumb at all. Maybe it was the way he said it idk. Basically he could just have said that he wants true competitors who'll work hard and make a difference on this team. His coach speak is what makes it sound dumb to the media but I get the guy's point.

Maybe. You worded it better

You're the one saying winning the division doesn't count, so I guess you really think an individual regular season game is worthless then.

I said it wasn't a title not that it didn't count. I can see now why you back the sports media so hard

I agree this is very ridiculous to say, but he has been one of the best coaches at finding good players who are not highly ranked. It's funny that anyone on here thinks that over-complaining does anything except for make them look like a child.

Obviously a disappointing recruiting class, but every coach seemingly got the players they want, that's really all that matters.

Another tone deaf and moronic comment from the coach after his program takes a gut shot.

Not remotely surprised he is spewing this crap right now.

We all know how good Cam Sutton was, and as of right now, after being on a 3 game bowl winning street with back to back 9 win seasons, 5 years removed from the worst 3 years of Volunteers lives, can we please just remain calm.

As long as we land the five-star-heart Champion of Life recruits, we'll be OK.

What's amazing is hard you miss the point and how hard you're trying to change the argument.

Let's make this easy:

You: "It will be forgotten"
Me: "Champions of Life hasn't been forgotten".
You: A bunch of divergent excuses that has little to do with your original claim.

Finebaum just brought it up. Said it was ill advised after the Champions of Life comment.

Don't know if Butch would take any media coaching.
He certainly needs some.
But, I think he is either too stubborn or just not savvy enuf to know that these type of comments will be poorly received.
Bless his heart.

Four years and y'all are still gettin' whiggy over Butch-speak?

Build the team. Coach 'em up. Win the games. That's what matters. That's the focus.

This is the same kind of BS justification post that hit this board after the "Champions of life" comment.

Obviously every coach in the country wants 5*heart. That's a damn unspoken assumption.

But only our coach follows up a very bad recruiting class with handing his rival coaches a box of ammunition to use against him next year.

Crap on a cracker, you literally can't make this stuff up. Even Derek Dooley is wishing this guy would shut up already.
