I would almost welcome a loss this Saturday if it guaranteed Butch Jones is done here. I'm more concerned with the long term health of the program than any one game.
Butch Jones is obviously a problem that must be removed right now. I hope the administration makes the right choice and fires him this weekend.
Players ultimately have to be team-first guys. Everybody wants to start and be the man and that rarely happens--there is a lot of competition, the coaches have their own ideas, and lots of players have frustrations of one kind or another--there are 85 players on the squad, and you hope all of them have the fire to compete and to want playing time. It's up to the players and coaches to keep the big picture in mind--and the big picture is the success of the team.
Hahahahhaha. Your one gullible person.I want this downward spiral created by CBJ at UT to END...
He's running this program back down into the ground...
So yes, I want whatever it takes to convince those people who actually have the power to make those decisions to get rid of him....because only then will it stop! :salute:
In the absence of facts about if this really happened or if it happened, why? I'm not going to blame Butch for anything.
I like TKjr, but he has not lived up (IMO) to the hype. If he's upset about anything related to what happens or happened on the field, then he's a cry baby. If he's upset about off the field stuff, then step up and be a leader. This team desperately needs leaders, not quitters.
I guess I'm old school, if you agree to come to a school and receive a scholarship, then make the best of whatever situation there is. Be a leader and be a champion for change if something needs to change. Be a man about it, don't quit.
This forum is exactly what is wrong with college culture in America to day. People come on here and give what the know or have heard for better or worse. But instead of taking the info and drawing there own conclusions they try to shout down the person that gives it. Not sure if it a football forum or Liberal elitist talk show anymore. You say what you know D1 and let these babies figure it out on there own. You don't owe them a d*** thing.
Just like everyone saying fire Butch now because he will never win KY, USC and Mizzou. Until they're played it's 100% BS speculation.

No. Because I'm about 1,000 miles away. I'll be watching and rooting for the Vols every week... just like I always do... including the worst misery of the past 10 years.
I am a Vol fan. I know the difference between being a Vol fan and a blind follower of a coach. I can handle unpleasant information... and still be a Vol fan. I can even see problems and be a Vol fan.
If you can't... maybe you aren't quite the fan you think you are.
Not true. He mismanaged that relationship. He created the conditions where Hurd could think his agenda was the team's agenda or bigger than the team's agenda.
Whether Jones made a verbal promise or not (I personally suspect he did), Hurd expected to run more out of the I last year.
The worst part is that it probably WOULD have helped the team and would probably help the team now if they ran more under center and let the OL's use aggression sometimes instead of "technique".
With Tennessee's HC, past is prologue. He is his own history, and 10 year head coaching record. An 8 win per year average coach, with an occasional peak and valley. Grab a win you shouldn't, lose two you should win. There is something intrinsically flawed in his "system", however infallible as he believes it to be, that keeps him at that 8 win average no matter what he does.
The ones speculating are the ones who refuse to see that, and hope he becomes something else.
I always like reading your posts. Thanks for the info. I think win or loss Saturday Butch is gone. To much stuff happeningSo when the real situation with TKJr comes out will ppl hate him like another former player? Or do ppl understand things regarding what I said this past off-season about the HC and the bad culture and environment he has going on? Guys are really frustrated on the hill fellas. Thank God TKSr has some control over this situation.
