God bless Jayson Swain: “8-4 is not what we set out to do, it’s to win a championship. It’s to win as many games as possible. It’s okay to be disappointed when you go 8-4, 9-3. I’ve had the luxury of talking to former players and they would tell me how down they were about going 10-2. They wouldn’t dare walk around with a TaxSlayer Bowl ring on. That’s not the standard here"
“It’s year five. In the last nine SEC games, Coach Jones is 4-5. Vanderbilt, South Carolina last year — Tennessee fans are knowledgable and they want to see results.”
Tax Slayer rings? That is so true. We have lost our way. The Chancellor at Nebraska fired the AD for not being competitive. My inlaws are big Husker fans. They hear that damn bell ringing on putting some positive ass spin on losing. Time to nut up
There has been a ton of bashing of the 990 guys lately. Just ripping them for being homers. Most of the hosts are saying ambiguous things about "the guys on the other stations", but s lot of callers are specifically mentioning Jimmy Hyams and Erik Ainge and not getting any kind of disagreement.
Hyams on Nashville radio repeats "I just don't understand it" when asked about playcalling and personnel decisions
This is 5yrs too late. What did Swain (or anyone) see in the hire, yr1 (Year Zero 2.0?), yr2, etc. to think any differently of Butch?
