Butch Jones doesn't understand criticism over current state of Tennessee program
If one coaches at a high-profile school, there’s bound to be criticism and second-guessing. It’s simply the nature of the profession.
Tennessee head coach Butch Jones is certainly no stranger to this. Expected to be a dark-horse National Championship contender in 2016, injuries have completely derailed the Vols’ season.
Though a title shot is out of the question, Tennessee is still has a respectable 8-3 overall record. This isn’t good enough for many of the die-hards in Knoxville — and Jones isn’t sure why.
During his teleconference on Wednesday, he spoke about how far his program has come in four years:
Butch: The progress we’ve made in this program keeps being minimized, and I just don’t get it. We’ve come so far in so many areas.

Prior to Jones taking over in 2012, Tennessee had gone through a rough three-year period in which the team had not made a bowl game. In 2010, Lane Kiffin coached for one year — before leaving unexpectedly for the Southern Cal job.
Tennessee needed a stabilizing force, and Jones has been that for this program.
#Vols coach Butch Jones said he doesn't understand why people don't get the progress made at Tennessee the last 4 years.
— Rhiannon Potkey (@TennesseeBeat) November 23, 2016
When factoring in this current season, UT will have made three-straight bowl appearances. Jones has turned Tennessee into a recruiting juggernaut — routinely finishing within the top 10 from a national standpoint.
Any measure of improvement can come from the team’s record on an annual basis. Take a look at the program’s record under Jones:
2013: 5-7
2014: 7-6
2015: 9-4
2016: 8-3 (with two more games remaining)
As one can see, Jones has gotten the program to a much better place when compared to his predecessor.
If this “champion of life” can’t understand why people are still frustrated with the results and constant under performing to expectations then he’s clearly not fit for a role of head coach at an SEC program
Took the words right out of my mouth!
I’m not a T fan but it appears, with each season’s record, there have been improvements. Don’t let the preseason hype and expectations keep you from seeing what the stats prove. The numbers speak for themselves. I know the preseason hype had everyone believing that T would win the East. All that is hype. It doesn’t mean anything. If each season’s game record is accurate in the article, then we HAVE to acknowledge that. All this is just my humble opinion.
Nobody’s ever argued the improvement. Everyone’s upset over the owning it to blowing it! BTW, we weren’t overhyped, the hype was real even last year. We should be talking about a possible playoff for Tennessee had Butch Jones just beaten SC! Has he done great things here? Yes! From Butch Jones telling the fans “f@(k all of them” to champions of life after saying the SEC East was never his goal is why everyone’s up in arms! What other coach do you hear crying at a press conference like this guy right now? He makes $11000 a day and we are passionate about football at Tennessee. We travel well, cheer even when they deserve it and boo when they deserve it as well! Nobody’s panicking but we are pissed and rightfully so!
Dang, it takes Ole Miss fan to be rational. Could use OM as good example also, that every season doesn’t go as planned. They’ve had a good run past few years, and this season didn’t turn out like expected, where they went from top ten to even make a bowl game. Don’t hear about OM burning mattresses. You’d think Derek Dooley was back on our sidelines.
Ole Miss is in the West😂. We’re in the down east, beat Florida and Georgia and somehow managed to not make Atlanta. Try again.
Maybe because Ole Miss is used to being at the bottom of the SEC. Look at Tennessee’s history and Ole Miss and tell me which program expects more. As a so called Tennessee fan you should already know this. Ole Miss did not become relavant again until coach Freeze came to town and gave them a few good years. Before that, it was the same iloold same old bottom dwelling Ole Miss. Thats the reason their fans love Freeze. Whens the last time they won or even went to SEC CG? Tennessee always expects that each year. Go back to being a Vandy fan bc you dont know shat from shinola about UT.
He’s clearly the wronh guy!
In today’s day and age where coaching hires can result in a national title in the 2nd year (Alabama/Saban, Florida/Urban, Texas/Brown, LSU/Miles) fans are going to grip but it doesn’t mean anything. Butch is obviously not about to be fired. He needs to learn to ignore the fans. Gene Stallings once said If you listen to the fans you’ll become one.
Butch needs to learn to not come across so flippant about losing and to ignore the fans when they are in panic mode.
You don’t “learn” to ignore the fans as a $4million head coach in the SEC, it’s common sense, which is exactly why for the 2nd year we’re not playing the SEC Championship game. Butch Jones is great at chess but really sucks at checkers.
@ Gainesville – Do some research – you talk like $4 million is a lot – it isn’t today – it is average – Saban makes twice that.
I did some research like you said😏. Here you go. http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/.
other than this year, expectations were way out of whack with reality. When Jones took over, UT did not even have SEC talent. Dooley had not even signed an OL. Think about that for 1 second–not 1 OL was signed. To say, Butch started with nothing is an understatement. Spoiled fans see other teams winning with coaches with less tenure than Butch and want to compare. Well, folks, those teams (FL, Ole Miss, etc, at least had a few NFL caliber players on those teams, UT had zip, nada. All you have to do is see how many players have been drafted from UT in last few yrs. Here, I will help–2013, UT had 3 players drafted–that was Jones, 1st year, 2014-0 players, 2015, 0 players. So 3 players in 3 yrs drafted!! That is a bare cupboard. We had no talent, and we had no depth. Tell me why you think the top talent was supposed to come to UT? B/C it’s UT and we have tradition–give me a freaking break. Jones has been able to come in and bring in top talent despite the obstacles and he is trying to build a team from nothing. Yes, I agree he does say some dumb things, but you always know where you stand, he seems to always do the right thing, he gets rid of bad apples and he has UT’s best interest in mind–ALWAYS. Folks, it is not 1997 anymore. Peyton Manning is not going to be our coach or our OC. UT is not a destination job, like so many would like to believe. We are now a top 25 program, that was nothing more than a top 125 team 4-5 yrs ago.
Here’s my expectations as a Tennessee fan. When you’re up 13 points in the 4th quarter you win that game. 3 times last year we didn’t. When you beat Florida and Georgia, you beat South Carolina and control your own destiny. You don’t give Florida a chance to have that LSU game even matter. Now Butch is already making excuses as to why we’re going to lose to Vanderbilt! What coach does that? I’ve never expected more out of Butch than he gave us those first 2years but I will say these last 2 years have definitely been disappointing.
@ Gainesville – It is clear that you’ve never coached. Losing in the 4th quarter is a sign that a team lacks depth. Plus, you are totally ignoring the injuries this season. If you had ever coached, you would know that injuries and people leaving the team can make a HUGE difference. There have been times when Tenn had as many as 10 starters out. Reeves-Maybin is a GREAT player and would have made a difference. Cam Sutton makes a difference. Shy Tuttle. McKenzie. Danny O’Brien. Chance Hall. etc. etc. This year will be the first time in 12 years that we have gone to a bowl game for 3 years in a row. If you don’t think all those injuries make a difference you are delusional. Jones is a LOT better than Kiffin or Dooley and his $4 million salary is just average for the SEC – Saban and Jim Harbaugh at Michigan make twice that. Over the past 3 years our winning % is better than Auburn and Texas AM, the same as Ole Miss and very close to LSU. Want to improve our winning %? Get them to stop playing Bama every year.
Well what happened last year then? As far as depth, all media outlets reported Tennessee had as much depth as Bama and LSU. No difference is the coaches IMO. Jones always has excuses. All teams deal with injuries. I go back to the start of the season. Tennessee looked like they was totally unprepared. Took half a season to get the offense going. To me, piss poor coaching is to blame.
I think its more that he didn’t win the division. Now, I understand that its not his fault that Tennessee had the hardest crossover games of any east team. Tennessee and Florida both finished with the same record against the division, but Tennessee beat Florida. So, the East Division was decided by games against the West. There is just something not right about that. But regardless, this was Butch’s season to win the division and if he just beats USCe then he accomplishes that. No excuses. He didn’t get it done, and I think that is the reason people are upset. But no fan that is reasonable is gonna ask that he be fired after a year where he beats UF, UGA and improves the team’s record for a 4th straight year.
My previous statement is assuming UT beats Vandy, which is not quite a forgone conclusion at this point.
So you guys think road games against Arky and Lsu are winnable for a UT team that cant stop anyone besides TN Tech on defense? Be real you lost the east bc your not a very good team period. Stop with the excuses, I miss the Vols of the 90s the team rubbed off on its fans. Not like these bullsh!t champions of life fans. We lost 3 sec games and we should win the east bc we had to play bama at home.
Not saying we are a great team or even a good one at this point, but we did spank talks @$$ while spotting you a whole half😂. Now tell us how we didn’t beat y’all, y’all beat yourselves🙄. Btw, are you denying Alabama and Texas A&M aren’t better, especially without Fournette and LSUs top linebacker?
Fournette and kendall played so idk what your talking about and no i think a&m is trash. Bama is bama and we play them in two week i gurantee we keep it closer then 39 points.
😂You’re just embarrassing yourself now. Fournette was sidelined most of the game as was their best linebacker due to injury. The fact you call Texas A&M trash really shows you have an IQ less than 50. As far as keeping Alabama closer than 39 points, that’ll be totally up to Alabama.
Btw, Texas A&M beat Arkansas 45-24 and Alabama beat LSU
Based on that logic Sc beat TN Florida beat SC so Florida is better….
You’ve already shown your lack of logic by calling Texas A&M trash😂. Think Tennessee being better than Florida was already decisively decided😏 38-28
Butch Jones is the biggest blowhard…brick by brick,team 120 Champions of Life….what a load of crap Sgt.Carter.
Hail Mary Yes!….Sgt. Cater has kicked that Dawg A$$ the last 2 years! Yeee Haaa!
Exactly, when the game starts, he’s clueless. He’s paid 4 million, has as good of facilities as any program in the country. His non sensicle cl
It’s funny everyone is so quick to blame Butch, I didn’t see him suit up and play one time this season… Granted, coaching is obviously a vital part of the game, and his share of the blame is still there. He didn’t give up 7 turnovers against A&M, or 3 critical ones against SC. He’s not out there missing tackles left and right like a high-school team, or giving up record-setting yardage to opponents. You can coach and prepare a team all you want, but at the end of the day it all boils down to players going out and performing. At times they’ve played like a NC caliber team, at other times like a mid-level FCS team. They simply just didn’t go out and compete and perform when it crucially mattered. Point. Blank. Period.
Did injuries play a role? D@mn right. Is that an excuse? No, sh!t happens. Is it upsetting that we didn’t win the East? Sure, but we’re still looking at a possible 10-win season and a Sugar Bowl appearance. That’s an improvement over last year, and the year before, and the year before.. We beat FL for the first time in 11 years, we beat GA in Athens. All improvements.
TL&DR: Everyone sit down, take a sip, and chill the F out.
Did you see Muschamp say at halftime all we have to do is make Josh Dobbs play quarterback? Did you see him use a 6,4″ 245lb running back in the spread? Did you see him put us on the goal line repeatedly from the 1yatd marker and run shotgun?
…..or giving up record-setting yardage to opponents.”
This from the Knoxville News Sentinal:
The Vols allowed an opponent-record 740 yards of total offense to Missouri. They let another team set a rushing record with Missouri’s Damarea Crockett rushing for a freshman program record 225 yards.
Take off the glasses.
Go Vawls!
Champions Of Life
Tn in the Suger bowl is the worst possibly thing that could happen to the Sec. TN as of right now is not the 2nd best team theyre easily 4th or 5th.
The worst thing to the SEC? I guess another Michigan drubbing of the Gators would be better😂
Idk last year mattered? Not everyone got cupcakes in their bowl.
Not my fault Michigan got a cupcake in their bowl game.
We’re not going to have to wait until bowl season… got a classic coming up in championship game
Criticizing the fans. Always a smart move for SEC coaches on the bubble.
Good Lord… haters gonna hate. SDS and others take “champions of life” and blow it totally out of context. Then SDS post this garbage…it’s like any random snippet they can peel off an interview gets posted as if it is “true fact”. I was at the SC trainwreck game, and I get it that we didn’t win the East, but enjoy the ride. We’re sitting at 8-3 and have the possibility of being the second highest SEC team in playoff top 25 by season end (no, I didn’t say we’re the second best team). I can see what he’s talking about, but in fairness, he’s got thin skin, so instead of coach speak on every question, he should either roll with it, or tell some reporters to kiss his a$$…I’d have more respect.
At end of day, if he wins out, we’ll be 10-3, and if puts together good season next year, all will be good. Tell me one SEC team that has their act together. You could argue FL, and credit to them for winning SEC E last two years…but Mac is no rain maker. He may win, but he’s not sucking all the talent out of FL, like Spurrier or Meyer or Fisher…so, I don’t see them being any sort of dominant juggernaut in coming years. UGA is biggest potential w/ either a really good hire or next version of Ray Goff…gonna take a few years to find out, but not off to stellar start.
Meant SEC E…obviously a few in West are in good shape.
All Vol fan Wannabes…..This is a great time and place for you to jump ship…Head Coaches receive too much credit when they win….and too much blame when the program loses…Go ahead and lobby for Jones to be fired…who would UT hire? I for one do not want to start the process all over again. V🍊L4Life
Don’t necessarily want him fired, just want him to quit saying stupid antagonistic things and quit blowing games we should win. Other than that we’re all good.
Hard to enjoy the ride when your coach keeps wrecking the “energy bus”
Good to see you’re going with Butch’s recommended reading list…maybe you’re a closet Butch fan after all???
I actually did read the book. Not bad. First and foremost Im a TRUE Tennessee fan. I’m actually am a very big supporter of Butch Jones as he’s done many wonderful things here. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to voice my opinion when he does or says stupid.
I’m going with “Ray Goof”, UGA had some real stinky play this season. :-)
Butch and team have improved each season, but while the fanbase is disappointed (from believing the hype) it isn’t like they have regressed. I’m expecting staff changes *IF* Butch doesn’t jump ship. “Destination” job stuff is silly, as each coach is different. For some, particularly for Vol lettermen, it would be top job, but foir non-UT coaches, it’s a paycheck. I think in many cases we have seen the last of 16 year coaching runs like Fulmer and Majors. Happy Thanksgiving y’all.
You had the best Tn roster in prob 10 years and you lost 3 games including one to SC. Then you turn around and say one of the dumbest things in CFB history.
Life champions really IS the dumbest thing ever said by a coach in cfb history. It will never go away and the cfb world have been laughing since Botch uttered those I’ll timed worlds, LMFAO
This was supposed to be the year for Jones. Yeah he beat Florida but from the start, Tennessee looked sloppy and not ready to play. Then the loss to SC stung. SC beat UT with a bunch of 3rd string and freshmen players. Kinda reminded me of Kentucky under Dooley. Well Butch let me clear this up for you. You get paid to win. Not build life champions. You fire your DC last year thinking that was the problem but this years D looks even worse. Then you hire your ole bud Deboard who gave you your 1st coaching job as your OC knowing he was a prostyle OC that didnt know shat from shinola about running a fast paced spread offense. The game plans he creates are vanilla at best and leave every UT fan scratching their heads and pissed as well. Then all the players you recruited started jumping ship leaving the program. Do they know somethimg about you we don’t? UT fans are not satisfied beat scrub teams and bottom dwelling SEC teams,they want to take down Bama. Josh Dobbs, Hurd, and Kamara was tour offense and they all 3 will be gone next year which scares alot of us. Knowing how inept Deboard is and having a new QB will be a bad news bears season. Thats whats wrong Butch.
Dear Tennessee fans and media, There are 128 NCAA div. 1 programs. There are several in your own state. You might never set a better winning season high. Butch Jones could turn ou to be your best coach from this point in time on. What made you think that this roster was good enough to do more than they did ? One example, Dobbs, great rusher but average passing, at best. The rest of the roster is full of examples like this. A program doesn,t just collect great players at every position because the fans and the media demand it. The attitude your fans and media have is your program,s worst enemy. Thanks for giving the other 127 programs an edge over you.
“What made you think that this roster was good enough to do more than they did ?” The fact this same roster lost 4 games by a total of 25 points and had the lead in everyone of those losses late in the 4th quarter! It’s called projecting. BTW, we don’t play 127 other programs😏
Well Jones and UT are their own worst enemy. How many hype videos did theu put out during the summer and all season? The talent is there. Roster is supposidly stacked according to everyone from CBS, ESPN,SEC network, to SDS stated how Tennessee had as much talent as Bama and LSU. Talent is one thing, coaching is another. Talent only gets you so far. Everyone and their brother picked UT to win the east and maybe a playoff spot. Tennessee fans are passionate about their program and deservidly so. Look at UTs history. This is not GD Kentucky we are talkimg about! Fans know what could of been thats why they are pissed, all that darn talent and blow it. The same team that went toe to toe with Texas A&M blows it against SC. All goes back to the coaches. All teams have injuries. Look at what SC had, freshman and 3rd stringers……still beat UT. Why? Coaching.
When Land Kiffin was the head coach of Tennessee in 2009, but Saturday Down South becomes itself and disregards proofreading.
Thanks for that, autocorrect…
Lane*
Looks like someone else disregards proofreading😂
If you have ever coached you know that it makes a big difference if you lose some of your best players. There have been times when Tenn had as many as 10 starters out. Reeves-Maybin is a GREAT player and would have made a difference. Cam Sutton makes a difference. Shy Tuttle. McKenzie. Danny O’Brien. Chance Hall. etc. etc. This year will be the first time in 12 years that we have gone to a bowl game for 3 years in a row. If you don’t think all those injuries make a difference you are delusional. Jones is a LOT better than Kiffin or Dooley and his $4 million salary is just average for the SEC – Saban and Jim Harbaugh at Michigan make twice that. Over the past 3 years our winning % is better than Auburn and Texas AM, the same as Ole Miss and very close to LSU. Want to improve our winning %? Get them to stop playing Bama every year.
Losing to Bama is not our gripe! Are you actually going to sit there and say for the 2nd straight year we shouldn’t be in the SEC championship game?
Most UT fans grip with Jones is that in most every game, we just get outcoached. Talent and luck won us games this year. App State fumble in end zone that Hurd jumped on for the OT win, hail mary that Jennings caught against Georgia, the come back against A&M was Dobbs and Kamara willing the team to win. The coaching just doesnt look there. SC beat us with 3rd stringers and freshman most of who Tennessee would never recruit. Coaching is the difference. It all started last year blowing all those 4th quarter leads.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Let’s not forget we would have killed to be where we are as a program when butch started. I know he is no Phil fulmer, but this is starting to look very similar. Y’all need to calm down and get a life. This is a game. Games will always be played season after season. You will have good seasons and let down seasons…. Unless you’re Bama. Butch has done well with a program that is not as high profile as it was in the past. Y’all are ridiculous. I’m finding out Vols fans are obnoxious and ridiculous. Glad I can cheer for Tennessee in Texas and not be surrounded by whining ignorance.
I agree. This year will be the first time in 12 years that we have gone to a bowl game for 3 years in a row.
Yes we can be obnoxious and ungrateful. Every fan base can but our coach is his own worst enemy. I really do like Butch Jones but you gotta admit he’s done and said done crazy things. We’re just upset we’re not going to Atlanta for the 2nd year and our coach told us it’s not his goal, then it is his goal and we’re champions of life.
Sorry pal, Butch is another Phil Fulmer, that’s the problem.
Sorry, pal, but the last few years before Butch were miserable. I know you had to be a closet Fulmer lover. Everybody missed him. Now that we are on track we have to be careful before throwing in the towel. I know he has said some odd things. Concerning the champion of life statement, Ill timed? Definitely. taken out of context absolutely. He’s trying to be positive for the seniors and juniors who turned things around at Tennessee. Was it a let down season? Yes. But those guys did something that many players could not do for many years. Have winning seasons.
The fact that Butch Jones is already making excuses for possibly losing to Vanderbilt is proof enough that this guy is NOT THE LONG-TERM ANSWER for Tennessee. He just doesn’t get it. The truth is, he’s lost his grip on this team, his coordinators, and the overall job as Head Coach.
Whining about fan expectations because you’re worried for your job security is a clearly just another clue that it’s all slipping away from him. Here are a few of the most common defenses I hear from fans still in the dark about his level of inadequacy:
1) He’s improved our paltry win total: We were in the gutter when he got here! The increase in wins is to be expected when you stockpile talent as we have over the past 3 seasons. What most Tennessee fans have a problem with are the wins that this staff has allowed to turn into losses due to their incompetent game management and horrible strategy. (At least 5 games.)
2) He’s turned us into a recruiting “juggernaut?” Sorry Butchie, but Tennessee had ALWAYS recruited with the Big Boys. And the stellar recruiting–pretty much the ONLY strength Jones can hang his hat on–is already starting to dry up and we’re already seeing a steady stream of decommitments from the upcoming class, and defections/transfers from this year’s team (Jalen Hurd, Jeremy Lewis, Preston Williams.)
3) He FINALLY managed to get wins over UF & UGA: The fact is, we should have beaten BOTH OF THESE TEAMS in the past few seasons and didn’t; those who will say our talent wasn’t on par with the Gators and UGA haven’t been paying attention lately. As for the combined wins over them this year, the Keystone Cops Coaching Staff found a way to make those wins inconsequential by fumbling the Weak-Sister East away by losing to South Carolina! Yet another display of coaching non-brilliance.
4) AND STOP POINTING TO INJURIES!! This just illustrates to me that we have a horrible Strength and Conditioning Program and it hasn’t been addressed! Everyone has injuries, but to continue to see the number of players out and the severity of the injuries, points right back to bad management.
At the end of the day, the Eye Test should tell anyone who knows Jack Squat about sports, that this guy is a bungling, manager, who’s proven to be incapable of coaching at the SEC level. His choices for coordinators, no matter how shiny their resumes may be, are just another example of his mismanagement.
And so Mr. Jones (He’s not my Coach) you wonder why so many people in Tennessee have a problem with your job performance? Perhaps it’s because you came to Knoxville selling yourself as a brick mason but apparently didn’t bring mortar or a trowel along for the job!
So Volman – Do you want Dooley or Kiffin?
That’s like saying it’s time to replace your $4 million Buick so let’s go get a Pinto or a Fiero.
Ding ding ding we have a winner. Summed it up well.
@ those who are complaining so much –
First, You are hurting, not helping. Think about what a recruit would think reading your comments. If you are a true fan you will care about that.
Second, You are unrealistic. You don’t think injuries matter. You don’t give credit for improvement and you think we should be national champions.
If I was a good coach, I wouldn’t come to a school that has crazy, unrealistic fans. That might explain why a Hall of Fame coach who won 74% of his games was fired and the best we could do was Kiffin and Dooley (one of the worst coaches ever).
Reality and the Facts – This year will be the first time in 12 years that we have gone to a bowl game for 3 years in a row. I call that improvement. And until last year, the last time we were 9-4 was 2007.
A couple of other things – It takes time to build depth. Going to a bowl game is a big deal because of the extra practice time. Building a program without cheating is harder than building it with cheating, but when the cheaters get caught, they go down.
I would not be surprised if this is actually Butch Jones himself😂.
Those are the kind of mindless comments from an ignorant fan who I am sure didn’t even go to UT that cause TN to end up with a B grade coach and F Athletic Director.
Exactly! It seems it’s a Tennessee tradition to take something that is obvious to everyone around, complicate it and ultimately screw it up. I’m also tired of people saying we’re overhyped in a awful sec east. You give this team to Mcelwain, Petrine heck even Dan Mullen and we’re in the east.
If you’re ignorant enough to think that SDS commentary has anything to do with the selection of our leadership, you’re either:
Suffering from organic brain damage:
or
You’re that guy Alan from The Hangover
And please Brentwood, shut the hell up: you clowns and your sanctimonious “Real Fans” crap is played out! Recruits aren’t coming anymore because they don’t want to play for a brick mason who forgot his trowel.
My thoughts exactly. All those real fan Deboard kool aid kids who make that “real fans” comment probably dont even live in the south and dont know shat about Tennessee or their traditon nor their fans either!
It’s clear you didn’t watch those games we blew. I don’t have to be a chef to tell when the food sucks. Btw, as much as I can’t stand Kiffin, you’re out of your freakin mind for saying Butch Jones is a better coach😂 much less a lot better! Muffin is 5 times better a coach than Butch will ever be. Fact.
Injuries have prevented fans and media from properly evaluating coaching performance this year. That will not be the case next year so we will see if Butch and staff are championship caliber.
He sure as hell aint no Jim Harbough. And if he quotes Joel Osteen again I might throw up.
All you need to know about Butch is the rest of the Conference laughs at us and hopes he stays at UT forever.
I laugh at you everyday. If UT played in the SECw they wouldn’t even make a bow. In the SECe they are mmediocre but Botch continues to pump sunshine with his stupid remarks and it’s freaking hilarious!
It’s bowl you illiterate inbred. I hope when Trump builds a wall he starts with your 3rd world country Alabama
Why so UT won’t have to play Bama? That’s the only way to not get stomped every year by your daddy you toothless hillbilly
As a life long Vol fan
Watching tonights game at Vandy is sickening and i think it is time gor Butch Jones to step down, he had no emotion, the team played like they had nothing to gain, you let a pathetic Vanderbilt team win a game they should never have been close in but our players hearts were not in this game, this is due to the direct head and heart of the coach who isn’t getting this done
