Monday Coach Jones Presser

He didnt own anything. Analytics would have kicked from the one piece of dog food line. Also 3rd and 4th quarter snapping the ball with 25+ seconds on the clock. I am more concerned with what I heard than the end result.

It's as if people here want confirmation from our head coach that he's a bad game manager to somehow make themselves feel better.

Some of you just like being mad. Look the game is over. I'm fine with ranting the day after. But that time is gone. Time to move on and support our coach and team.

What do you think Dobbs whispered at the 3:47 mark? Sounded like he said something about awkward.

You don't want him to own up to it. It's easier to hate him for the loss that way. I find this to be the case with people who aren't capable of forgiveness. Time heals everything and winning heals it quicker.

I'll feel much better this Saturday watching the team slaughter some catamounts.

About the presser, I think he feels it from the fans and knows that with the talent we have that we now we expect to win and he knows we should've won. He did what some wanted and took responsibility.

Butch Jones and staff need to put the 5 * on the field and let them GROW UP in the battle. I didn't see, Kyle Phillips, Alvin Kamara, Preston Williams, Darrin Kirkland, YOU HAVE TO quit trying to play 7 & 8 WRs, just roll w/ 6...........Malon, Pearson, Pig, North, Williams, Jennings...............(All those guys are beasts) and you need to keep them on the field enough to establish a rhythm for the game versus everytime they catch a pass, they get pulled out...............If OU would have done that w/ Shepard, we wouldv easily won..........as he was dead tired. Stop trying to make excuses for playing Jumper and play Kirkland as he makes plays everytime he's in there and let him learn on the fly as you said he has a photographic memory earlier or were you blowing smoke? Foreman makes too many bone headed plays. E. Mosely will be every teams target for the rest of the season.

Not to mention but after the 1st 2 games, have you noticed that anytime either one of our opponents needs a big play or a 1st down, is that they scheme a play to either involve Jumper, Foreman, or Mosely

Has to be hard to face the folks after letting such a big one get away. He is paid a ton of money to be the face of the program.

We're all fans and most of us are a little pissed. We identify with this program and want it to succeed. Butch is still our guy, but we are a little upset, which is why we are such rabid fans.

I hope for all of us we feel better soon.

You know, he makes one good point. We may see more games like this in the near future. We will be competitive in games this year that we might not have been last year. Some people are saying that they would rather we were beaten by 2-3 touchdowns. I say, REALLY? You really prefer that we were STILL not even competitive? That our progress was stagnant? You've got to be kidding me.

I thought Mosely played a pretty good game.

CBJ said what needed to be said. Took responsibility. Coaches must improve just as players are expected to improve.

I do not get this at all. I have said I would have felt better with a shootout 42-38 type loss than this one but its over, it happened and we move on. Its not the loss that hurts its the way we lost...again.

I fully support Butch and his staff although the second half play calling looked like someone called CPF and asked what they should do. You cannot sit on a lead like this.

As someone else stated, if your offense is not moving the ball and you are going to rely on your defense to finish the game why rush snaps? That is my BIG problem. One coverage segment I saw said we averaged snapping the ball at 23 seconds left on the play clock and how snapping at 5 seconds or less would have eaten over 6 minutes off the clock. I just cannot decide if we were trying to milk the clock or trying to score with very very conservative play calling and hoping to get lucky and break one?

For me its not that we lost, its how we lost and trying to make sense of what the "goal" was after halftime. Was it to win or not lose?

Not sure what anybody could want additionally from him after this. I keep hearing...show me a great coach that doesn't go for it on 4th and inches! To that I would say, show me a great coach that hasn't lost a game they probably should have won. It doesn't mean you start the hate rhetoric. Don't try to run a good coach out of town. He has completely changed the environment, talent level, and expectations in Knoxville in a couple of years.

For the record, I thought we should've gone for the 4th and 1 myself but his answer was spot on. Hypothetically, an unsuccessful TD attempt and a 2 point loss would've caused the fan base to explode and call for his head as well.

Suck it up and move on. And when he has that defining year (this or next IMO) all you haters will be welcomed back on the wagon as if none of your hate-filled posts never existed. You can act like you loved him all along!!

Yes, I thought he did too, however, look at when OU needed a play, they consistently went at him: the 1st down play that Shepard caught on the sideline, the endzone catch..................but overall I would give him a B- for the game and unfortunately for him, TK went out of the game and there was no backup from the safety (E. Berry) that it was an ISO play to the back corner of the endzone. Safeties have to recognize that when opposite teams line up on the far side of the field
