1.) Based on what you guys have seen and heard around the program, would you say the article was fair and accurate?
2.) What do you make of the Simmons article today? Is that an attempt to keep subscribers, to save face?
3.) If you are Butch Jones, how do you address this behind closed doors? Or do you address it at all?
4.) It has always appeared - whether it's been in the Butch Jones era or under any other coach - that the local, regional media has an axe to grind with UT athletics, meaning they look to the negative on everything. Have you ever felt that the local media was unfair to Butch or to the program in general?
5.) From the Title 9 stuff to the Drae Bowles saga, the player defections and now this article, how badly does this damage Butch Jones perception-wise? If this sort of stuff continues, does there come a point in time where it's impossible for him to succeed at UT?
