We fired Butch Jones for this?

[cutnitclose]

I am not a Butch Jones fan, but it is hard to see how well are any better now... We actually look worse..

 

[Other_Guy]

Pruitt may be fired in a few years, but the mentality you see out there oozes Jones own character.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Jones won 7-6,9-4,9-4 then lost an NFL qb and had a bad season. Had some bad hires. But nothing is good enough for volnation right.

 

[WesternNCVol]

Pretty sure we suck so bad due to butch jones recruiting and lack of development.

 

[TheDeeble]

I imagine the o-line is so bad that it is restricting the play calling and what we can honestly attempt on offense.

Or Helton is massively over rated.

Worst product I've ever seen fielded in 30 years of Tennessee football.

 

[WhitewaterVol]

To be fair, they fired Jones so they could hire Schiano. Not that he'd be any better.....

 

[VolFreakJosh]

f*** Butch

 

[Vol_n_LR]

Yea we hired a coach to coach joneses under developed guys.

No bro, Dobbs won those games. UT barely makes a bowl with any other QB.

You're making me lose IQ just by reading this.

Entirely false

Jones teams provided any 2nd half comebacks.


Never ever saw this many turnovers duringg Jones years. Well other than the PeeWee team my son played made several in a game.

You’re totally right, I’m totally distraught that we no longer are Champions of Life, that matters so much more than a fresh start and an attempt to put Tennessee on the road to maybe, actually, being a competent program again.

I think having a proven HC is better than an assistant at a big program. He would have had the team in the correct type of play calling and wouldn't panic.

I don’t think Dan Mullen is a world beater. But if he was coach at UT in 2015/2016 we would be in a NY6 bowl with all of that talent.

Nah. That makes way too much sense.

 

[nash101]

B*tch recruited a bunch of show ponies. No player development. Took a year off in S&C snd we have never recovered. His failure to recruit SEC talent on the line because they didn’t fit his “infallible offense” Put it altogether and the result is what you see on the field. It will take 2-3 years to recruit and develop out of this hole. I think an offensive genius would have gotten us wins quicker, but we don’t need a flash in the pan approach

 

[TennTom]

There are so many different position groups under-performing in this game, that this is difficult for me to pin this debacle on anyone but one person. I know it's only one SEC game, but sheesh, this is as truly bad as it gets. The buck stops with him. We were massively unprepared tonight.

 

[MurphyVol]

I feel confident Butch would have the same record right now. And he sucks

 

[azVolFan]

Butch is a con artist.

 

[Gandalf]

No, we fired Butch Jones BECAUSE of this. Who do you think made these players like this?

We dont have 6 sec to throw or let our receivers get down the field

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

Cmon these guys are competing. What more do you have the right to demand from the "lads?"

Competing? Lol

 

[NYCVolunteer]

If Butch was our coach, we would still get blown out by WV. And ETSU and UTEP would be games we would have to fight until the bitter end for.
