What an arrogant...

[JonGrudensAgent]

Forgot about that. Again I'm not saying any body is doing great...maybe Trevor Daniel, maybe Evan Berry as a returner...JRM has REALLY progressed imo...

I think folks are in a mood which is understandable. If one looks for the negative there is plenty to find, if one looks for positives there are some.

That's all.

Only problem is the negatives still far outweigh the positives so it's a net negative result.

Sure, there are plenty of things that have improved but is it a result of coaching or simply bringing in more talented players?

Kind of the chicken versus egg question like what we are discussing with the O line.

Has the O line actually improved or are the stats better simply from having a more mobile QB and running the ball 2/3 of the time?

Looks more like the latter to me.

People look around the SEC and see programs that were in similar situations getting positive results. Ole Miss beating Bama, Florida standing at 5-0 etc.

Jones didn't need to win the conference or even the East this year. He needed to win a game against a credible opponent this season and time is running out on him quick to do that.

Weighs on a fan base for as long as this program has been struck in neutral.

There is the rub for me over anything Jones is saying in the press conferences about keeping a list or a bunker mentality or whatever.

People are overreacting to stuff like that IMO.

But when he says the team is getting better but there is nothing on the field on Saturdays proving that is a different story.

Tackling has been much, much worse this season.

Dobbs played like a warrior against Florida but hasn't improved his accuracy, not that he has been given much opportunity to show anything else but the ability to scramble out of trouble.

The offensive line continues to be terrible and there have been plays where those guys have been flat out lazy.

Medley is starting to struggle more and more.

Sorry, it's just getting really difficult to find any improvement out of this team and it continues to add up in more and more losses.

One question summed it up for me. When asked if Dobbs was accurate his answer was yes! The guy refuses to admit that there are problems with his system and or the players utilized in the system.

Yes he did. He is arrogant!! I'm like dude how many conference games have you won? Not even getting into sec east or bcs titles. He talks like he is Gene Simmons. We're not at the press conference to be blessed by your presence. Dude we want answers!!!! Well Butch your pocket will be full of all of East TN. He keeps saying stuff like to the untrained eye it may seem different than a coaches eye. Fulmer with all his success would never had said that.

Seriously? Well Mr. Man, how many games have you coached? He is in the ring giving of himself and is doing a good job of rebuilding this program, while you are on a message board dissecting every decision and word he has. Dude you need to find something important to you in your life and go do it. Fact is this program sacked when he took over, mUchida more of a rebuild job than Florida or Ole Miss. Wins will come and when they do posts like tour will go away.

Mrs. Jones, I thought you moved to Knoxville.

Giving of himself?
Isn't that what 3mil is supposed to obligate him to do?

 

[igotworms]

How many of us would be irritated if reporters and anonymous message board posters were saying the stuff being said about the way we do our jobs? I'd be pi$$ed

Even if you displayed high level of incompetent?
You'd still be "Pissed"?

Maybe if you were performing at high level there wouldn't be anything to complain about
I'm sure it goes for Mr. Butch too

So you want him to trash Dobbs at his press conference? Surely you know how physiology works.

Astro physiology!!!!!!! :hi:

He doesn't have to trash him. The point of my post was I seriously think Coach 23 doesn't want to admit any of the issues discussed here and will continue to pound a square peg into a round hole.

 

[cd12]

Yeah, so we're losing games by fewer points. That's a rather dubious distinction from previous seasons.

I guess that means we are 17 points better than Ole Miss.

Are you sure you meant physiology? Psychology, no?
