Ending of Butch's press conference

Other coaches rant at the media all the time. Did you even watch the presser? He was very calm and very nice. He told them that understood that they had a job to do.

 

I'll go with this.

 

There's not a local media market in America that would be nicer to Butch than Knoxville.

He's really lucky no one called him on his bullshit from day one.

He's a lying fraud.

 

Of course it is. You can take responsibility but disagree with the outcome.

 

BS...do you even read the propaganda that comes out of Atlanta regarding UGA?

 

In what way is he taking responsibility? Is he giving up salary? Lowering his buyout?

Quantify this "taking responsibility."

 

Do you read the propaganda coming out of Knoxville?

 

You can take responsibility without being penalized...people do it all the time. If I screw up at work, I raise my hand and admit it. It doesn't necessarily mean that I have to forfeit part of my salary.

 

So meaningless gestures and words. So nothing.

He did nothing.

Just making sure.

 

Yes...and I don't blame Butch for saying what he did. I don't always like his coaching, but I applaud him defending himself and the team for BS.

 

Guys, I'm taking responsibility for Butch Jones. And Wyoming. Kiffin's buyout.

All the responsibility, right here.

 

He doesn't even have to do that. He just needs to give the specific ways he has screwed up as easily and readily as he tells how and where others screw up. I've never heard a specific thing he has done wrong come out of his mouth. A generic "I take responsibility" is garbage and we all know it.

 

So every time you have taken responsibility, you have been penalized? I mean, if you ever have in the first place.

 

When I have earnestly meant it, yes. Most times I say what I have to say to get by, so as not to have to take a penalty.

And I call it "taking responsibility." Morons eat it up. Think I'm super mature and responsible. Turns out I'm just manipulative.

 

How many coaches give a laundry list of everything that they have done wrong?

 

Touche

 

So he's not actually upstanding, he's just like every other coach.

I'm getting mixed signals.

Is he doing the right thing, or just the popular thing? You seem to be skipping around.

 

Most don't have quite the impressive list that Butch has that is obvious to every sentient being on planet earth.

But anyway, I'm just saying that I would think a lot higher of the guy if he would just come out and say, "I suck at life, and I'm resigning."

 

And [itch bay]ed that for the first time in 5 years people were no longer carrying his water for him. The guys has sucked hard for 4 years, the fact he made it this far before "all this negativity" is a testament to how little our fan base cares about being competitive and loves mediocrity.

 

Him making the thousand and one mistakes he's made and still being employed as the head coach at UT without any media backlash disproves that idea. It also makes it obvious he doesn't learn from his mistakes. So his "taking responsibility" is worthless.
