I don't look forward to the first time Tennessee gets beat down this season. But when it happens, it will hopefully have the effect of waking some fans up to reality.
There's been so many over-the-top posts this summer.
Amen.Lord, please protect me from your followers.
Here's where I disagree. Why can't we make that splash the first year? Why year three? That's the norm. Ole Miss kicked A their first season. Candy made a splash their first year. Sperman Meyer ran the table his first year. Why can't Tennessee make that same splash with this staff. Butch uses the word seamless when he describes this transition to UT. I'm telling you guys mark my words Butch Jones knows something about this team we don't. I think he knows he's got a pretty special team if they just follow the process. Somethings brewing on RockyTop and its about ready to blow. (damn I love this Orange koolaid)I've have the fortune of being around a lot of high quality leaders in my life and when you see it, you know it. Butch Jones is a leader, he is a strategist and he knows how to coach and win football games.
Of course, we need to wait until the season to crown him, but this team is going to win more games than they should. They are going to shock one or two teams this year and next year, it will get even better. By the third year, we will be competing for the SEC East again.
I live in Cincinnati and I've seen the man first hand, heard how much he was loved at UC and I work with a former UC football player. The guy can't say enough nice things about Butch Jones. He said he is a players coach, always encouraging, pushing, and demanding excellence. I couldn't be happier that he is our coach.
