Interesting piece from Tennesseean writer via KNS. http://www.knoxnews.com/story/sport...ode-s-time-turn-heat-up-butch-jones/93112914/
Except for the part where he said recruiting is "rolling," I thought it was a pretty accurate and fair column.
He said it's too early to say botch won't win the SEC. 6 months in and it was obvious. The hiring of DeBord absolutely assured it.
Just heard some local morning sports talk geniuses saying that no one had any misgivings about DeBord when he was hired and you couldn't have known whether or not he'd work out.
Justin Worley running a zone read, hiring DeBord, refusing to pull Dobbs, seeing how much better they look in an I-form against Northwestern and abandoning that to go back to the read option, 58 yard field goal attempt....it's not too early.
Yes, because offensive coordinators like Lane Kiffin, Mike Norvell, Chad Morris or countless others spend time between gigs ordering pens and copy paper when they're not coaching gymnastics and field hockey. There's such a low demand for good play callers and all.
To a sixth round draft pick. I specifically remember reading a joke on Volnation about how he should be our defensive coordinator since he managed to hold Tom Brady to so few touchdowns. Many others hated it as well. And if you don't have Volnation, you don't have anyone.
I suppose, to be fair, he sucks but he's here because he's willing to run Butch's offense. It's Butch's baby because he's too much of a ***** to hire someone on offense that may question the greatness of his system.
Is he also the guy that coached Dobbs to throw 7 yard passes that skip across the ground like I'm skipping rocks across the lake?
I could jump off this balcony and not be completely certain how it would work out. I would put the outcomes between broken ankle and broken femur.
Knox, local, or your hometown, local? Bill Meade has been uncharacteristically critical of DeBord this week. That's unheard of. He stroked Dooley until the day he was fired, then he said he knew he was bad. He just wanted to support UT. I want to support UT; however, my idea of support involves giving the place an enema to flush all the shit out of town and replace them with the caliber of people my university deserves.
