Come back home, Trooper. VOLS could use another bagman or two.

Butch Jones answered the final question, stood up from his seat and started to leave his weekly press conference on Monday. Then the Tennessee football coach turned around. There was something on his mind that he didn’t get the chance to address during the previous 20 minutes. “Just for the record, Trooper Taylor is a friend,” Jones said of the Arkansas State cornerbacks coach and former Tennessee assistant under Phillip Fulmer.
quote:
“It’s amazing, I look at him and say, ‘you guys got a really good football team’ and everybody blows it out of proportion,” said Jones, who said the hand gesture was simply used to make the point. “He was very complimentary of what’s going on here with everything, so it was good to hear from somebody who has coached here before that we’re getting it back.”

But when ASU's 34-19 loss to the Vols ended his return to Big Orange Country, Taylor wasn't revisiting his past as much as hyping the Vols' future under second-year coach Butch Jones and his staff.
"Their attention to detail is unbelievable," he said. "We did everything we could to find tips [to what plays the Vols would run]. There were none. Those coaches do a phenomenal job."
Backing up Taylor's sweet words, Vols sophomore wideout Marquez North said after two touchdown grabs against ASU: "[Assistant coach Zach Azzanni] teaches us technique. It doesn't matter if you are first-string or fourth-string. He is a perfectionist, so if someone goes down he expects us to go in and not miss a beat."

Part of the problem is that I don't think I've seen Butch without that stern, gruff look on his kisser. He probably looks the same way at the cashier in the grocery store.

That GIF remains as awesome as it ever was.
That one and the "it's an ongoing investigation" gif.

I only saw the picture and it looked like Jones was pointing and kinda grinning, but in a good way. I took it as saying that you have a damn good, team, defense, players? Whatever it was, I thought it was positive. That pic didn't look hostile to me.

With Butch, it seems sort of hard to tell the difference between a grin and a grimace.
