OT: Butch Jones pulls a “Shafer”

[OrangeDW]

except, worse, he’s not even a coordinator so he had even less to do with the victory.

Still...these 50 year old goofball coaches are something else.

Truly. He got fired for legit reasons, such as not winning nearly enough. He acts like they had no justification for firing him. Same deal with Shafer.

That...and they paid him enough money for him to be set for life. And he recruited a lot of those kids. Have some class and humility.

That's so painfully awkward. Butch is an "offensive analyst" and completely expendable to their success.

 

[Frozen]

It’s because of the money that UT has paid him and is still paying him that he can afford to be an analyst at $35k a year.

yeah there's no way Alabama beats Tennessee without Butch!

Can I like this post three times?

Hmm I don’t know I think it is Butch followed by Tua as far as the reasons for success at Bama.

 

['Cuse L. J.]

I thought he got the cigar as a prize for getting tenure at The Nick Saban School for Fired Coaches. Bama has like 40 spots reserved. Next year's class should include DJ Durkin, Chris Ash, Bobby Petrino, Larry Fedora, and that cat from Kansas!

These guys think they’re getting revenge. But most people around the country see it and find it incredibly sad.

 

[NKR1978]

I know these guys probably hate the school that fired them. But Jones and Shafer recruited most/many of the kids they just beat. I really lost what little respect I had left for Shafer after that, and seeing him in the same company as jones confirms my belief of Shafer’s character. Just two pathetic men.

 

[cuse10]

Jones is a glorified intern.

Classless I'm going to jump on the dynasty bandwagon and get an easy win and run it in the kids I recruited faces.

 

[blizz]

Isn't the cigar smoking a tradition at Bama?

I know you guys are making all these character inferences, and I get it from an attitude standpoint but I really just don't get why the cigar thing pisses so many of you off so badly.

Why is it automatically about being smug and trying to rub in the defeat? Strikes me as though the thought is that smoking a cigar is some kind of painful chore. What is that?

The winning team of the Tennessee-Alabama game smokes cigars every year, and then the school self reports to the NCAA. It’s a very well known tradition.

Here’s a story about it:

As Sigmund would say, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
