Tennessee HC Butch Jones speaks at the 2014 SEC Media Days
Butch Jones, the Tennessee head coach, was at his second SEC Media Days get-together, and here are some of his memorable quotes, which have been gained off Twitter.
On the UT receiving corps: “We are the original wide receiver U” (apparently, it’s not….it’s Pittsburgh)
Who’s going to be QB?: “We like the progress with [current QBs] Justin Worley, Joshua Dobbs and Nathan Peterman, but we’re not naming a starter”.
On the fact that Tennessee’s playing Alabama every year because of the 6-1-1 schedule, which has infuriated some coaches: “What makes college football special is the rivalries”.
Young talent: “That has brought a lot of positive energy….We’ve had an influx of young talent.”
On Florida: “I believe Florida’s going to be an exceptionally talented football team….I think they’re going to be one of the teams to beat. Coach Muschamp is a great coach and they have our respect just like every program in this great conference.”
His job: “I love my job, and I love being at the University of Tennessee”.
