Before the internship position with Alabama, I'd really like to know how exactly Butch Jones got to where he did. I look at him and I don't see a guy who's good at anything besides recruiting. Not a good football coach, I think his football IQ is about as low as it can be at this level, probably sucked at football himself, etc. Could be one of the finest snake oil salesmen this side of the Mississip.

Didn’t need to read the book to know that. He played Kendrick while he was clearly suffering from a concussion

Wasn’t just that, would stand outside the locker room waiting on him just to tell him how terrible he is, that he couldn’t wait till Kendrick is gone, etc

From Nagi’s book:

“During the Butch Jones era, there were many players who chose to transfer out of the program for a variety of reasons, including expected playing time that didn’t come. Brett Kendrick was originally committed under Dooley but chose to stick to with the Vols. [after the Arkansas state game] Brett got a text from Jones with language that Brett wouldn’t repeat to his mom and told him that he is not SEC caliber and that his play wouldn’t cut it,” says Beth Kendrick. “He was very derogatory towards him. Brett graded out as the third-best offensive player overall. They awarded t-shirts to the top three offensive and defensive players after each game. Brett received that recognition and yet was benched the next week. It made no sense, except that Coach Jones had made promises to other players and their parents.” ...Jones would wait outside the position coaches’ room,” Beth Kendrick says. “When Brett would come out, he’d get in his face and say that he’d be so happy when Brett was gone. He was trying to run him off. Maybe he needed the scholarship. I didn’t know this was going on at the time. I’m proud of my son for fighting through it. He grew in character and learned how to deal with people. He loved his teammates. He is the kind of kid who would bend over backwards for you and do whatever the coach asked. He toughed it out and suffered through it all’.”

Wow. Thanks for sharing that. Makes me respect all the guys who fought through the past 5 years with that douche bag

I was off the bandwagon in ’15 when all the freshman transfers started happening. It was like something was up. Making promises to people that involve automatic playing time are never good things.

I didn’t believe that Travis Haney hit piece from 2016 at the time, but if you go back and read it, it appears to have a lot of truth about Butch. I’ve moved on though.

This doesn't surprise me. Every profession has these kind of "fake it 'til you make it" success stories.

Unless you're very lucky, though, there's eventually going to be a trial by fire that burns away the dead wood and reveals the truth. For Butch Jones, that fire burned a light shade of orange.

Kendrick was stumbling around on the field clearly in distress. It’s actually pathetic that your still sticking up for that scumbag

Has nothing to do with defending him. I don't care about Butch Jones. But there is a position coach, a trainer, and a league spotter who look for those things. In no way did the article back then confirm that he was aware of it at the time, but you took it as truth.
