I think this is a good time to remind everyone how bad of a talent evaluator Butch Jones was. In 2007, Butch Jones was the head coach of Central Michigan and moved a defensive lineman by the name of JJ Watt to tight end. That guy went on to transfer to Wisconsin, become a first-team All-American, and a 3x defensive player of the year in the NFL.
In 2016, Butch Jones was the head coach of Tennessee. As the head coach, he gave 122 carries to Jalen Hurd, 98 to John Kelly, and just 103 to this guy named Alvin Kamara. In 2017, Butch Jones was fired and a couple months later, Alvin Kamara was named the NFL rookie of the year.
