We got stuck with Scott because bUTch went to LSU's O.C. and tried to bring him to U.T. He said NO, so to save face bUtch promoted Scott.
I would bet that Scott called the plays on 1st & 2nd downs but when the play really mattered, bUTch called the 3rd & 4th downs.
If you see an idiotic play, then you know that it is likely that bUTch called the play. For instance, on the 5 yard line against Florida, three conseq. pass plays were called and one ended in an int. That play has bUTch written all over it...........

Your theory sounds interesting but you forget Jones didnt carry a play chart. I seriously doubt that Jones is smart enough to recall the plays they have on 3rd and various yardage distances when guys like SOS, Kiffin, Kelly, etc all carry a chart. Either your theory sucks or we just fired a guy smarter than all those offensive geniuses
With them owing both Dooley & Fulmer, I would say that bUTch had to bring in his old coaching staff for the first few years. Then when Dooley & Fulmer were paid off, bUTch was able to go spend money and bring in Shoops and also a Q.B. coach....
Funny thing is that I was thinking about this today. Given how screwed up the current search has been, I began to wonder if the reason we brought in so many subpar assistants over the offseason wasn't Butch Jones, but because the Athletic Department.
I've said a million times, people underestimate how much the AD impacts the football program. I think that's one reason why Les Miles struggled so much in his last years as well. The LSU AD is awful, as well. They tried to be cheap and controlling. It hurt Miles. Maybe Butch isn't as at-fault as we've thought. (Though, he still shouldn't have have gone 0-8 in conference play; that's ridiculous!)
Guys, look at the numbers they cited. Tennessee had the 8th most expensive coaching staff in college football in 2016, and it went up in 2017 since Scott was making nearly $200K more than DeBord. Don't buy into this. It's a Butch Jones ally trying to muddy the waters.
