Jones is a jerk

[Creek Walker]

He 100% lost me in that press conference. A complete ass.

Some are coming around....Butch has been a jerk. It's coming home to roost.

[VinnieVOL]

Ah man, I didn't get to listen but I thought it might not be pretty.

Jones is a jerk

What did he say to warrant that?

[PirateVOL]

What did he say to warrant that?

Two things:
1) he absolutely shut Austin Price down on a legit question
2) commented that a lady reporter had asked her question and then left HIS press conference

Next question

Fo' real? He gets paid to deal with stuff like that. On the bright side, if he's going to be gone, better sooner than later.

I mean, how dare her get up and leave to go file a story by deadline, or to pee, or to do whatever. Butch's press conference, Butch's rules, apparently.

And Priceless is one of the mildest-mannered journalists in the business. Butch talked to him like a parent scolding a small child for asking a stupid question.

He was just condescending and arrogant. This will not end well for him. There are very few coaches in America who can act like he's acting and get by with it...and those are the ones who win at a very high level. Butch isn't winning at a very high level.

Agree....Saban has earned that right to be a a$$hole to the media....Butch hasn't and far from it. I hope the media burns Butch every chance they gets. One has already started:

Butch really boasted about how UT is going to be bowl eligible for the 3rd straight year. That, my friends, is called being tone deaf.


Butch looked whipped today in the presser......Good!!

[HerbTarlekVol]

Yeah, I am going to say I told you so on this one.  

Butch doesn't have the temperment or the coaching ability to be a head football coach in the SEC.  He can't take having to defend his own actions, but he sure as hell talkes the $4 millon per year checks.  He thinks he has to "educate" the media and fans on college football.  He doesn't understand that UT football and many of us fans have been around since before he was born and we have seen good football and what it takes to get there.  He doesn't have what it takes. 

MAC level football coach.
