Welcome butch jones from mzterry - VolNation wow. 2.0 and you don't play. Tenn is like the harvard and stanford of the south. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume Vollygirl loves this hire too.
I'm a genius and volly is an idiot as usual. . . I'm in - VolNation also from that thread (he's not joking btw): Jones may be the "Bruce Pearl" type of character coach our current roster needs and: Originally Posted by marvin It would be nice if we didn't have to put up with the preteen little girls on these big boy football sites. We have a coach the wants to be a Vol, wants to play 4 front def, reached out to T Martin for assistant, recommended by Payton and had Couch yell Hell yea when the 4 front was mentioned!!!!!! What the hell else do you want. I believe he will take us up hill, not down hill. 81 year old Vol and have been since Life! Go Vols!!!!!!
I'm not clicking that link. I'm not. Not today. I've chosen to never fight that stupidity, and I'm not starting today.
I thought this might bring a little levity to the situation. but i could see how it could make one just want to put a hole in the wall.
I enjoy how wanting the job is high on their list. God forbid you get a Saban at LSU situation. That would really suck.
Sean Payton, huh? I know making JUCO transfer Maurice Couch happy was my personal #1 trait in a coaching hire. Though (and this is mean-spirited), it's impressive enough for an 81-year-old to even access the Internet. Coherency is unrealistic.
I just can't cut all ties to our football program. I think we have made a step forward. I think we had the opportunity to make a HUGE leap forward and didnt make it happen. I also think that I will be fired up for the beginning of football season next fall. I wanted Gruden as bad as anybody but I do think Butch has his head in the right place and will make progress with our program. With all of that said, HART MUST GO!!!!!!!!!!!
I posted over there for a while. I stopped when it got really stupid with Dooley, andi finally just quit going. There are just so many idiots who want to shout down anyone with an opposing view. I really hope ol' Butch works out and we see a string of SEC and national championships, but I'll get excited and start believing when it starts looking like it's going to happen. Until then, I'll just view posts such as that as nonsense. Edit: no frustration directed toward you on this.
Jones sounded like a spokesperson for Hart. When he talked about Hart having a vision and doing his due diligence for the program I thought we just hired a puppet to be manipulated by Hart and Cheek,
I'm predicting 4 and 8, or 5 and 7 again. Especially considering that we may lose the small amount of good talent that we are clinging on to at the moment.
unfortunetely some managers will not hire anyone who isn't a yes man. great coaches tend to not be in that category.
I would say he 100% didn't given that Butch had the perfect opportunity to namedrop the endorsement and settled for some angular, weird Colorado job substitute.
Right there with you. He was 4-8 at Cincy his first year, after following Kelly. Here we go again. A Big Orange shit show.
