re: Thoughts on Butch Jones Coaching Abilities

I'm not going to argue semantics as I don't really care but you don't have to lose by 3 TDs to get blown out. A good example: Ole Miss beat Tennessee 34-3 and Texas A&M 35-21 but Tennessee actually gave us the tougher game.

Anyways, it took Butch 2/3rds of the year before he realized his best QB was on the bench so take it for what it's worth

Get outta here with logic or sense. This here is tRant!

As for Dobbs sitting, the reason for that was because he and his family were promised a redshirt last year and the coaches were trying to keep that promise. Dobbs had specifically asked for one post-Spring. We'd tried to RS him the year before but injuries killed that plan as they did last year. I wish we'd played him sooner but no one had any idea he'd be THAT improved from the year before -- he'd been inconsistent and sailing passes in practice but once he did play he turned out to be a gamer.
