He ran out of the last coaches recruits and had to start playing his own.

To an extent, yes. I didn't notice much on-field leadership. We've had really talented team not be worth a crap because there weren't any leaders on the team.

41-0 in kneeland 2017 was the knife across the throat. Kirby cut that bitch's neck open.

He was too thin skinned to be a HC in the SEC. He took all the criticism from the media and fans personally. Plus he was a huge micromanager.

No he didn't.

It was the same pattern every year. They would play tougher opponents early in the season and lose some games. Then the back half of their schedule would be a bunch of easy teams, they'd run a streak, get ranked high to start the season. Rinse and repeat.

2016 was a small exception only because Georgia and Florida weren't very good.

He had them 6-0 and in playoff hunt in 2016.


Well, it was 5–0. But 6–0 isn't "in the hunt" for the playoffs. There's half a season and then a conference championship game left to play. Butch Jones was never in striking distance.
