Evidently, Booch has time for this shit.
Butch Jones said Monday that the sky is not falling on Knoxville, and he’s keeping track of people saying it.
Sure, the Vols are 3-0, but they’ve struggled at times in all three wins. Statistically speaking, they’re No. 69 in scoring, No. 73 in yards per rush, No. 84 in sacks allowed per game and No. 71 on third down offense. They’ve also been hit with injuries to several top defensive players.
But Jones says there’s been overreaction, and he’s noting it in a journal.
“Each week, there’s something that is the major issue, it’s a catastrophe, it’s blown out of proportion,” Jones said. “I’m charting week to week what we blow up in the media, the main issues. At the end of the year, I’m going to go back and relive those. We spend so much time creating things that really aren’t there. We make them real when they’re not real…”
You’ve got a football program to run, a division to win, recruits to chase and you’re keeping a record of journalists who piss you off? That’s some serious multi-tasking, dude.
I just hope he calls a presser in the offseason to share his reliving with the rest of the world.

Booch isn’t exactly acting from a position of strength here. You have to admire his confidence.

Me, too. I am not anti-journalist, but there is a difference between asking an important question, and asking obvious click-bait questions. I do not think Kirby has been rude in the little bit that I have seen, but you have to point out why the question is stupid. If you don’t do that, you just have to set the coke bottle on the lectern.

those sorts of things just seem like examples of how kirby doesnt have quite the tight control on things that he would like and I appreciate the color it adds.
Considering it was coming off a real attention getter of a game, seemed like a good observation to me.

Meh. That’s the the narrative Towers wanted to spin. Kirby doesn’t have the players’ attention because they were loud in the locker room after practice and just barely beat Nichols. That’s stupid but that where he was leading the reader.

I dont think you have to lead the reader too much to get them to think that kirby doesnt have as tight of control as he would like with this team.
It clearly shows when they show the games on TV.

So would you count players dancing on the sidelines as one not having “as tight of control as one would like?”

Dancing when you are losing is a bad look. Dancing when you are winning is a good look.

Well, when Kirby’s commenting on it at the presser, it sort of deserves noting. If I recall, the story concludes with loud words followed by quiet. That could mean a lot of stuff, but YMMV.

Jones: “I SAID THAT’S IT! ARE YOU DEAF? Let’s finish this damn thing.”
Entire press marches out of room.
