Holy crap. Butch might need to start getting that résumé prepped. His butt is fired were I the AD.
You know unless the guy recorded the conversation where he called him a traitor, Jones can deny it and say it was comments made from a disgruntled player. Jones/UT will squirm out of this somehow but I hope it hurts UT really badly.UT released the below statement.

I agree with you. Unwanted sexual attacks are nothing but rape. There are not excuses or exceptions. I do believe there are reasonable things that women can do to minimize the chance of a sexual attack. First, dress decently. Don't invite attention from the perverts out there. Also, be selective as to where you go (socially and how you act). Stay sober. I'm not saying these things to stir the pot here, but sexual assault is a terrible thing and often have a long lasting emotional impact on the victim. Bringing an attacker to justice in a court of law does not erase the emotional pain of the victim.Many decisions and factors go into creating these scenarios - and it is 100% the job of the perpetrators to change their sick behavior....but just because everybody knows that ISIS is the one at fault and needs to change their behavior doesn't mean I buy a plane ticket to vacation in Raqqa, Syria.
If he did say that I just can't see how they could keep Butch under any circumstance..But..We are talking bout The Puke Orange Nation & they are the cesspool of The NCAA for legitimate reasons..
In a sane world he does get fired, and punished along with getting fired. But, we live in a world in which a woman gets abused and apparently raped, and how do do the police and the university respond? They cover it up and get the rapist a lawyer. Was anyone punished for that? Not really.
The issue with this, and what we have seen at Penn State and FSU is allegations that are clear and damning coming out and the head coach taking no action. By all appearances, Butch Jones knew he had players doing things completely inappropriate and there is no sign of his taking appropriate actions. Does it really matter what he said when what he did seems pretty clear?Consider the possibility that Butch Jones didn't say this. In the original articles and court filings it was said that other TN players called the TN player who helped the girl a traitor - no mention of Jones. The statements and court filings are later amended to add Jones. Why? The easy answer - because saying that Jones said this makes it into an institutional problem. It ups the ante considerably...
I don't know what role Jones played in all of this. At best he was guilty of not knowing what he should have known. But I am not taking it for granted that he said this because it is just too convenient and represents a change in the story of the accusers.
I gave a long, sincere sigh of relief when Hart left UA, where he was the heir apparent. I've let out several more since...
