Monday Press Conference

Butch could come out and be honest like Gene Chizik encouraged him to do last week. Just come out and say that he and the staff are treating this game as if their jobs were on the line, because they are. People would respect that. Maybe even rally around him. 'Leadership reps' doesn't win anyone over and just gives the national media a huge rock to throw back at him.

I think Jones is already mentally counting his buyout cash. The primary takeaway from his presser imo is that, despite an utter disastrous start to his 5th season as head coach here, he's decided to change not one single, solitary thing with his program over the bye week. Steady as she goes. Has the guy checked out or what?

He still believes in the infallibility of his system, as long as players "buy in"; at this point nothing on the field is going change Butch's outlook.

After reading all the posts on this thread I really can't believe the majority of you. To be clear, I am in the camp that if things don't improve rapidly and dramatically then we should get a new coach that can take us to the next level; however, the majority of comments on this page are really childish, vindictive, hurtful not only to Coach Jones but the program as a whole.

When I read all these childish comments I see how ignorant people can be. Come on, what do you expect him to say given the situation he is in? Why do some try to analyze every word spoken? Why do some people enjoy "kicking people when they are down"? Do some of you people realize it really speaks more about you than Coach Jones!

I can understand frustration as I have vented plenty but again come on, some of you people need to grow up!!

I guess some of you can hide behind the fact nobody knows who you are and that must give you some demented feeling of power to kick people when they are down. Pathetic!

We should create a new drinking game. Every time he utters a stupid gimmick statement during the week keep tabs, then 30 minutes before kickoff slam a shot for each statement.

This should make Saturdays more pleasurable short term until we have been Grudified.

Would lead to alcohol poisoning.

Q: Upon deep film evaluation, what's holding O back?

A: All 11 individuals working collectively as one. 9/10 individuals do the right thing, but all 11 have to. Discipline, execution. Hard to play perfect. "6 seconds, 3 great efforts" "consistency" "efficiency"
Click to expand...

You forgot the biggest breakthrough, on the "6 seconds, 3 great efforts". Coach said, "we actually started counting them."

For the love of god. Make it a four year study. This man overcomplicates the simplest of tasks.

I'd love to hear Coach Jones explain the process of taking a dump. He prob still is teaching his kids how to potty.

"10 minutes, 3 great efforts, individuals showing great sphincter discipline, in terms of proper alignment, flush and clear, we call that containment discipline, a perfect execution doesnt start at the potty. Thats something we stress to the individuals that success, starts at the mouth, we call that tooth discipline, every chew repitition is vital to proper fecal form, so it doesnt just start at the bathroom door. An individual's evacuation in an ongoing process. We encourage all individuals to "self check", every phase, top to bottom we call that, pushing not rushing, and seeing it through to the end. We try to limit individual reps made after the fly, when the pants drop, its time to execute and perform, trusting your instincts. We have youngsters that sometimes can't distinguish between a productive rep, and what we call "just a fart" and we as coaches always stress, we tell them, good sphincter discipline at the junction point helps minimize what would be wasted opportunity. As you know we only get so many hours with these kids, and everyone cant get in there at once, you must prioritize as coaches and instill into individuals, the mentality that enables them to maximize potty time, ensure efficiency and reduce overstrain,just get in there and get it done, earning that trust, no unplanned containment violations, when you get there, drop your drawers and sit down, the last thing you want, is an individual calling for mommy. We like to call that sh!t or get off the pot.
These are prideful youngsters, they want to achieve results, and progress to big boy pants."

"Coach at this point, have you given any thought to wiping? Is that something you will be working on in your off week."

"Thats a good question Jimmy. I'd like to say we are there. We have a number of ass-wiping individuals, with good technique and understanding what we are looking for, and why its important to follow up with a thorough procedure and all that entails, they understand the process, the directional flow, we call that front to back awareness. They give you the eye discipline necessary to avoid wasted minutes, chafing. As far as the team. We have a ways to go before we could be considered an asswiping team of individuals. Its a process, you can only focus on so much, and thats why spring camp is so valuable, so that your not forcing an individuals hand before they have a full thorough awareness of our expectations and where they fit in. We are still determining who is there, and the individuals that need more reps. And to be honest sometimes thats a factor that may not show up until bath time. We identify individuals and focus on their development, but wiping is a fundamental, but less instinct oriented, more complex. We call that a high level technique or finesse move, and requires a lot of desire on the individuals part, fortunately we have some real leaders among us who help other individuals along, if one individual takes it upon himself to elevate another the entire team benefits, but the idea is eventually we all need to be a team of individuals who can all wipe their own ass if it comes to that. We are not there yet. It takes years to implement and refine that, roll by roll.

Lol... What's impressive about how he speaks? I get being annoyed by the cliches, but I don't get thinking he's trying to act smarter than everyone else. It's just the goofy way he communicates.

It's the accent or lack of one.
It's amazing how many here in the south automatically jump to the conclusion that someone is trying to act smart or better than everyone if they don't speak with a southern drawl.

"We've had one of, if not the best bye week that we've had in a long long time"
..... you've had 5 butch

Also, if you're saying a long long time, that means you've been here too long to be performing so poorly.

I don't think a college coach should ever throw amateur athletes under the bus. They aren't the ones making 7 figures.

Even if it is 100% on the players (which in this case it isn't), the coach has to shoulder the blame.

I was thinking about the OL question that he was asked.i believe the question was "Have you been disappointed with the OL's play?" He gave some answer that really had nothing to do with the question and danced around it. It would have been fine if he just said "They need to be better and they would be the first to tell you that."

Can't help but feel bad for him honestly. He looked beat down and at his breaking point. I don't want him as the coach anymore but this presser made me realize how much garbage he's had to deal with the last couple weeks.
