RE: OT: Butch Jones gonna Butch Jones
What he's actually saying isn't that bad. He's looking not just at on the field talent, but intangibles. CLF said the exact same thing. The issue is in how you say it.
For some reason, CBJ can't figure out how to avoid stupid phrases like "champions of life" or "five star heart".

Butch Jones: “The first element that goes into winning championships is contending to win championships and our program has done that.”
Here's one response from a Tenn fan:
Quote:WE BARELY COMPETED FOR THE SEC EAST.
Jones Era:
2013 - Tennessee is out of the national title hunt by week 4, after a loss at Florida. Tennessee is out of the SEC hunt by week 8, after a Bama beat down.
2014 - Tennessee is out of the national title and SEC hunt after an inexplicable week 5 loss to Florida.
2015 - Tennessee is out of the national title hunt after an inexplicable week 5 loss to Arkansas. Tennessee is out of the SEC hunt by week 7, after a loss at Alabama.
2016 - Tennessee is out of the national title and SEC hunt after an inexplicable week 8 loss at South Carolina.
We can't even make it to November with Atlanta on our minds, much less the national ******* title. We scared two playoff teams in the 2015 regular season, but ultimately lost. That's about as close as the Jones Era has been to "competing for national titles."
I mean, good god, man.

I guess it depends on what Jones' definition of "contending" is. If it's that you have a shot, then every team "contends". This is great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

RE: OT: Butch Jones gonna Butch Jones
I get that Tennessee was a bit of a "big dog" 20 years ago, but at what point does the Tennessee, and SEC faithful realize that the entire conference has basically been two or maybe three teams with an actual chance for the past 10 years?
Tennessee is now in the same boat as South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Auburn, Missouri, etc who won't be able to compete with Alabama. Hell, even LSU might be falling into the 2nd tier of SEC teams leaving Alabama above the rest.
