How many Butch Jones quotes and euphemisms can we list?

So many cliches - I wish he would spend more time on coaching and player development than cliches.

There are many, many more cliches that I can't remember.

My favorite is this one because it makes no sense

" It starts with me, it starts with our coaches and players. It starts with everyone in our football program."

That's a lot of starting , but where the hell does it end?

Here are the excuses I've seen so far. Feel free to add on.

  • Jalen Hurd whining cost us USCjr. game
  • Vanilla the first few games
  • Injuries
  • Starting slow
  • offensive coordinators fault
  • defensive coordinators fault
  • WHO IS OUR Strength and Conditioning coach?! HIS FAULT!

We haven't blamed the refs really this year so I can't add that.

Dunno why my thread was moved to this thread.. Mine was a list of excuses fans have had for our crappy team, not the cliche of butch jones.

Butch gets on the refs plenty during the game without commenting about it afterward, unlike some coaches.

This thread is supposed to be for cliches and euphemisms not excuses...

What gives?

The resilient individuals of this fine football program are now Champions of Life, and we're very, very proud of that. Again, if you look at the resolve and the resiliency of the young men within our football program, you'll see that we've brought a new competitive spirit. We've now got individuals competing on the field, in the classroom, and in the community, and I think that's exactly what Tennessee Football is all about.

We've got the best fans in the country; 102,455. I tell our players all the time "63 in front of the 102,455." It's not only what makes a winning team, but a winning football program.

That is spot on!

"Our goal is to get 1% better each and every day."

BTW, somebody should do the math on that, we should be at least 10,000% better in year 4. :good!:
