Butch Jones Needs a Common Sense Coach
On a 16 play drive that takes 7:26 off the clock, Tennessee scores a third and ten rushing touchdown to go up 26-14.

There are just over ten minutes left in the game at this point. You absolutely, positively have to go for two here. We were screaming it in my house. Lots of you were Tweeting me about the decision. This isn't hindsight, this is being a reasonably intelligent human being who understands how football is played. Two touchdowns are equal to 14 points, that's one more than the 13 you have if you kick the extra point.

If you go for two and don't get it, you are still up 26-14. This would mean that Florida would need three possessions to beat you with two field goals and a touchdown. Only, here's the deal -- FLORIDA WON'T HAVE TIME FOR THREE POSSESSIONS. THERE IS NO WAY THEY ARE ATTEMPTING A FIELD GOAL DOWN 12 POINTS TO CUT THE LEAD TO NINE. THEY WILL TRY TO SCORE TWO TOUCHDOWNS TO WIN THE GAME.

Butch Jones is paid four million dollars a year to make reasonably smart executive decisions. Not going for two here is like running for United States President and opening your Presidential campaign by announcing you are a gay Muslim and believe America should be run by Shariah law.

Instead, Butch inexplicably kicks the extra point and goes up by 13. Meaning, you guessed it, two touchdowns beats you.

Asked about the decision after the game, Butch Jones proved he's an idiot with this answer:

"(We went for two) for a number of reasons. We were discussing that, prior to the drive, if we did score, whether we go for one or two. We have a chart that's pretty standard in football that maps it out. We just felt, at that stage in the game, we have great confidence in our defense of getting off the football field, allowing them to push the ball down the field. We felt very comfortable with that decision."

First, his logic makes no sense and second, EVERY CHART SAYS GO FOR TWO AT THIS POINT.

EVERY SINGLE CHART.

Two Point Conversion Chart
Below is a version of the two point conversion chart first developed by dikk Vermeil in the early 1970s when he was offensive coordinator under Tommy Prothro at UCLA. The chart is still used by coaches in helping them to determine whether to go for a two point or one point conversion after a touchdown in various situations.

To be fair Treons fukkery is costing him favors. Grier sucked most of the game and if Treon would have been in things could of been different. I don't think either is the QB of future as right now. Grier has a higher ceiling but has no deep ball accuracy and Treons arm strength is weaker. Time will tell

A year later....both are gone :mindblown:

The moment Cam left UF, and rightfully so, we were fukked thinking we could get away with Brantley at the helm until Driskel came along. Urban had already checked out by then and we were stuck in no man's land :mjcry:

Goes to show you bruhs, you miss out on a QB or not have one ready and waiting in the wings and you're fukkED!!
