This is from Jalen talking about his injuries this year.

To me, it goes a long way in clarifying why Jones is vague in Injuries. If Jalen wasn't comfortable disclosing injury status - then it sounds like a coach respecting his players wishes.

Also, JRM danced around his shoulder injury because he didn't want the specifics to be known.

We forget that these guys are playing the long game and trying to change the course of their life and fortune.

To me, this statement, from a player that is no longer with the program and left because of disagreement with the coaching staff and philosophy speaks VOLUMES to the fact that Butch Jones acts with his players interest at heart.

Butch is all about the players and trying to get their best. We have got to keep a handle on turnovers.

Go Vols!

Butch is all about his system and feels the players should evolve into his system not his system evolve with the players.

Why a lot of star talent leaves.


Guy is really, really stubborn and feels anyone who disagrees should just shut the f up....

Kind of feel like these kids should know what they are committing too. Pretty sure we have other talent doing well in his offense.

How many guys are on this team? Butch cannot make everyone of them happy. He has a QB who works best out of a read option, but he should run a pro style to make the RB happy?

Think Dobbs with an accurate cannon, that is JG. With Kelly stepping up, along with some other freshman talent making plays, we have some good times to come.

It's time to finish strong(win out), get some help with the Florida, handle business in Atlanta, and then see if they will give a 3 loss SEC team a chance.

Plan D all the way to Tampa.

Butch can't take criticism in any form apparently, but not winning the games he's supposed to win will be his downfall

What do you think Butch was thinking when he so heavily recruited Jalen Hurd for his system?:popcorn:

He talks all this business of "I've got your back", he takes it personal when other do hold the same values.

You are dead on about losing games he should win, that's got to stop, along with all the turnovers.

Go Vols!

You keep saying this nonsense. What star players have left outside of Hurd and P Williams? And I wouldn't call Preston Williams a star seeing as though he hasn't done anything of relevance on the college level. Seems to me the common denominator is me first guys that expect everything to be handed to them. Including your over exaggerated take of an offense being built around one guy.

Seems to me Jalen wasn't comfortable with just about everything. And if the scheme was getting him hurt, he did a poor job of making a case for change. Instead, he chose to alienate teammates, and quit. Oh well, moving along.

Seems like Butch's new plan this next recruiting class is to go after the 3 star athletes instead of the 5 star variety.

Stay tuned..................
