Vols coaching staff has run out of excuses

Butch Jones and his staff need to take responsibility for their mistakes in big games.

Tennessee Volunteers head football coach Butch Jones has attempted to rebuild the Vols' football program "brick by brick" for the last two-plus years, and Jones and his staff have been able to inject more talent into Tennessee's roster than they've seen in well over half a decade. Before the 2015 season, Tennessee fans, local media, and national media were buying in on the Vols, believing this year was the year the turnaround started for a moribund program.

What's happened instead has been mind-blowing.
