Tennessee fans, time for honesty...do you really like Butch Jones?

Or do you think TN can do better?
Serious question.
Personally, I find him to be cartoonish. Some people like that but it always backfires when you get beat by a lesser team like Mizzou.
For example, my bro and I attended the 2014 game in Knoxville between TN and Mizzou. Before the game TN fans were gracious toward Mizzou fans, but they made it TN/Dobbs would destroy Mizzou at Neyland because "Mizzou's never beaten a legit program."
We just smiled, shrugged our shoulders, and said things like, "You're probably right. We're just happy to be here," while secretly knowing that Mizzou would more than likely beat TN.
At the beginning of the game, Butch was on the microphone acting like a clown trying to pump up his players and the fans. He was overly bombastic and full of himself and his team (moreso than any other coach I've ever seen). If you didn't know better you would've thought that Mizzou was playing the best team in history of college football!
Mizzou went on to pretty much dominate that game. Sure, TN attempted a late 4th quarter comeback that fell flat which resulted in the TN student section throwing water bottles at the Mizzou bench (classy)...but in the end Mizzou came into Neyland and easily beat mighty Tennessee.
Not long after that game, TN fans started questioning Butch Jones.
Now TN fans seem to be back on the Butch Jones hype train, but I think people realize deep inside that Butch will never take TN back to the promised land of national championships.
Do you really like Butch Jones? He just seems like a real life clown. More bark than bite.

Whether or not I like him has nothing to do with the fact that Tennessee should win the east easily this year.

With all of the beautiful music that Sonny and Cher created, how can you hate their child?

I don't like him, but if he wins, I don't have to like him.

But seriously, how embarrassing.
Doesn't matter if they like Lyle or not, the 5 coaches they offered before him told them to frick OFF!!!

Seriously, the beginning of the game was a full blown clown show. My brother and I just looked at each other and laughed. We were sitting on the 50 yard line about 25 rows up (perfect seats) but we were completely in the TN section. My bro and I were the only Mizzou fans within a few hundred people.
Some middle aged drunk lady law me shake my head and said, "Hun, what's funny? You don't like our coach?"
I said something like, "He's very entertaining! I don't think I've ever seen a coach quite like Butch."
She replied, "We just love Butch! He has a certain southern flair that compliments TN's historic football program."
My brother looked at me with a coy smile and I just replied, "Well then this game should be cakewalk for TN. Don't beat us too bad!" And then I raised my soda to cheers her.
She said, "We'll go easy on ya northerners."
She wasn't behind me when the game ended. Somehow she had disappeared before I could tell her, "Good game!"

It happened and I have the photos to prove it. In fact...I posted the entire experience on the TN Board.
Do you not remember Frat Santa?
You're in no position to call bullshite when I documented the entire experience. For what it's worth, she was the only TN fan that was borderline rude.

Maybe you should worry about Mizzou being a hot pile of shite in every sport

Fwiw, I voted to keep you on the Tennessee board. But you kept starting troll threads on tRant.
I could probably start a reinstatement thread.

They could do better. They also could do much, much worse.

What kind of beer was it and what selection did Tenner have in Neyland for this game. If the beers didn't come with a complimentary farthole funnel I have to call BS.

No alcohol is sold in Neyland, dumbass. I hope you get blinded by a rogue nipple
