re: Coaches all over the country called Butch Jones after the season

Everyone but Bama would have looked bad. The thing is, he needs to shut the frick up.

This. He's turned down media help that has been offered despite never really being comfortable with the media but I'm not sure I'd accept an offer from Hart either. That said, he needs to shut the frick up and learn to stonewall the way Saban does instead of trying to answer shite designed to make you look stupid no matter how you answer. The Life Champions thing was a perfect example of that -- that's something tons of college and pro teams talk about (hell one major program had it in their hiring profile) but CBJ being naive or otherwise oblivious to what our media is all about gives an answer countless others have given to similar questions and it blows up. It's not his words so much as his timing which is terrible. THAT is a result of the AD and Coach BOTH being tone deaf to the media and fanbase here.

CBJ just needs to shut the frick up until someone like Blackburn is hired who has a better feel for the media and fanbase. And Dave Hart should be pistol whipped for allowing CBJ to turn down media help in the first place.
