Butch is doing a lot of things right. He gets the PR gig and works hard. He did not think things over in regards to his gard assistants and assistant coaches and it cost us in a major way on NSD. We could have had a better signing class and filled some needs better. He also has to do a better job of closing the deal with recruits.

As we all learned over the past 2-3 weeks, you can't get caught up in the feel goodism for long, until you have closed the deal hand. Until then, celebrating is pointless and the feel goodism means nothing.

I do believe that BJ and his work ethic will push us off into a great direction.

That's the only person I've noticed using the phrase "strong finish" and "Tennessee 2013 recruiting".

I hope next year we are flipping recruits from schools like Georgia, Florida, and Ohio State .... rather than East Carolina, Vandy, and Cincinnati.

A slight point of order Rev. In your sarcastic response, you left out the fact that a recruit was also flipped from Syracuse! :roflmao:

Something missed, were these things that Butch discussed on Thursday.
Quote:
 
Jones, who is known for his many motivational phrases and techniques, unveiled two new ones to the UT faithful Thursday. 

He wants his team —and the fans in the stands —to celebrate third-down stops with a fist in the air. The fist-up defense, he calls it. "We want all the fans in Neyland Stadium to raise their fists," he said. 

Another one? The 6-3 mentality. Each play lasts roughly four to six seconds, Jones said. He tells his players that in six seconds, he wants three great efforts to make a play. 

And when the quarter ends? Expect to see the Vols sprint to the other side of the field. "Because we're a blue-collar football team and we're telling our opponent we're both physically and mentally strong," Jones said
