A lot have. Hope we get Horn.

 

[Cock-a-Doo]

All is fair in love and war

 

[robertfootball]

Burn it down, Butch!

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

I have nothing for UT but it just sounds underhanded for a recently fired coach from the program to try and get players he had previous worked to get committed to UT to de-commit.

Saw a artical that read after saturdays loss Butch told some players to get out now ,dont wait

 

[Spurs Up]

But they want to play for Gruden!!!!!! NOT.

I guess Jones has no plans to be a head coach again.

 

[TheReelEss]

I heard the AD's presser after the firing and one of the reporters asked a question that included this report that Butch was trying to sway recruits to decommit. The AD did not dispute that claim. FWIW

This.

Not that I care, but why would he do that? I would think that would be career suicide.

 

[VirgilCaine]

It's hard to believe anyone committed to UT so they could play for Butch, so this will most likely hurt him much more than it hurts the Vols.

Especially if that coach is about to walk away with millions of dollars. It's low-down.

 

[cocky4]

Butch is showing that Champions of Life attitude he talked about. I am all for our rival having an ex-wife problem.

 

[anon_n4c0cp5zhdxn7]

Shitty move, if true.

 

[paladin181]

Especially if that coach is about to walk away with millions of dollars. It's low-down.

Unless he has another head coaching job and is trying to lure the players to him. That's just playing the game. But to try and convince people to decommit out of spite? That's just stupid.

I would be interested what is in Butch's contract regarding termination. Does Butch's conduct give justification to void UT's obligation to pay Butch any additional monies. Just thinking out loud of course.

 

[Goldhunter]

I don' believe it that doesn't sound like something a champion of life would do at all

Elsewhere, when you rob someone who's paying you, it's called embezzlement.

Wouldn't that be fitting? Champion of Life has to bag groceries because his stupid spiteful behavior walked him right out of his buyout.

 

[jimnasium]

Could be he's recruiting for his next job we don't know where he's going maybe he does.

He learned that from Derwood Horn...

 

[67gamecock]

Good. I hope we can 'cherry pick' the best they've got. Does anyone think UT wouldn't do the same to USC?
