Does this concern any vols fans? I get that recruiting is extremely important, but you're in the middle of your 2nd spring practice as UT football coach. At some point you've actually got to stress coaching your football team, right?

I would gather he is aware of that, but recruiting is the foundation, which is what Butch is building.

He did hire Thigpen and Martinez. Both not known for their "coaching" abilities.

Someone should start tracking the number of players processed there vs bama and see who out-processes who in the next 3 years while Butch is there.

You don't understand the roster attrition that has taken place at UT over the past 5 years. It will take probably 2 more cycles before we have SEC-level depth and talent.

This is just a quote taken out of context. He obviously understands developing the recruited players is a factor as well.

Hey, that's got to be better than Dooley's approach of teaching them how to shower first.

It's not the X's and O's, it's the Jimmy's and Joe's

You can get all the recruits you want. But if you can't DEVELOP that talent then they all go down the drain

It's how you rebuild your team after a dumpster fire of epic years-long proportions, which is what he's doing now.

context is your friend.

CBJ is confident in his abilities to coach-up and develop players, so much so that it is implied.

If he gets the right players on campus, UT will be very dangerous.That is what he is saying.

Attrition, backcounting, and early graduations.

This year was a perfect storm for us

If you could sign 33, wouldn't you? I mean, come on

Is this a serious question or are you just sounding like your normal pussy self?

All I know is people in Cincinnati are positively thrilled to have Tuberville, a major upgrade.

UT has ZERO talent foundation. So yeah, he needs to recruit all the time
