Harbaugh tweet directed at Butch Jones
Harbaugh is out here slaying everyone.
Suggestion to my Rocky Top colleague, rather than lunch in Florida you might spend your time and focus attending to your present team.

I think this goes to Harbaugh's "the sport is under attack" position. Anything that gives the sport a bad name would hit a particularly sensitive nerve. MSU and Arkansas are fine and just tossing out tepid snark, but when you get a program like Tennessee's trying to pile on... stand by.
Frankly, I consider Harbaugh's response measured given his relative level of passion.
I support the coach but maybe he went to far on this one considering the seriousness of whats going on down there. just saying.....
My point is if he was just talking about his team then he would have tweeted all the coaches that were involved. Most of the time you will look better taking the high road and just prove it on the field.
Harbaugh gives a rip about a target on his back.....? Have you seen the one he personally tatooed on his chest? Let that dog hunt, all hail King Harbaugh.
I think he singled out Butch b/c of the issues at U-T right now. The tongue-in-cheek jokes from Bret and Mark didn't get a response from JMFH, but Butch shouldn't be throwing stones at anyone's houses these days. Jim was basically saying, deal with the pox in your house right now and don't worry about the rest of us.
I have a feeling this shows that the U-T issues are REALLY under Jim's skin; as one poster said above, it's more fuel for the "game is under attack" thing that rankles Jim so much.
Given how tongue-inch-cheek Butch's short tweet was, Jim's response seems a bit disproportionate and out of turn. So I can only attribute that to some underlying issues, and U-T culture issues have to be them.
Although, it's also possible this is just a remaining leftover of the whole Woodson/Manning thing, were we TOTALLY CRUSHED them.
however, I think it's 100% fair game. Butch Jones is accussed of intimidating a player who tried to help a sexual assault victim. He needs to stop tweeting about Harbaugh's camp and maybe wonder if he's going to be in some deep legal sh*t instead. Totally fair for Harbaugh to point out the obvious here
This is certainly not the right place to have this kind of conversation, but imo, people should be making as much noise as possible about what's going on down there, so they actually do something about it.
Exactly, Harbaugh, or any person for that matter, is right in calling out Jones and UT for what's happening in Knoxville.
I totally agree that Butch Jones and the rest of them Yahoos needs to pay for the crap that has went on down there, i am just saying that there is way more at stake then ripping Butch a new one but it involves young women whos lives will never be the same because of over privelaged thugs. Sometimes you just have to pick and choose your battles.
Yes, you do have to pick and choose your battles. I think this is a dang good battle to pick. He's definitely not siding with UT on this one. Young women whose lives will never be the same are involved, and Harbaugh is clearly siding with them if that's what the tweet is actually referring to, which I would think it is given the exclusion of the other coaches involved.
No way did Harbaugh go too far with his tweet. He simply stated that Butch should focus his attention on UT, and not worry about a spring practice.
I'm sure we have some users here (MeanJoe, FauxMo, MadHatter) could think of an alternative tweet Harbaugh could have sent that would definitely be crossing the line.
I chuckle. That same jab coming from an SEC coach, who's in the middle of situation if accusation are correct is abhorrent... then f***k yah, I'm gonna say something!
Awesome. Good stuff.
Awesome. Good stuff.
In my highschool we called them cuts, as in "oh man he just cut you," when you would have an insult battle. I once saw a book where they called them snaps. But hell, Harbaugh is the Cut King. Players and recruits got to love that.

put that moron on blast.
And to those saying that this is just too much because of the seriousness of the charges, that's exactly why Harbaugh should be going after this slow witted idiot, he should be minding his own business, dudes got scandals coming out of his ears, and he's trying to be funny about attending a UM spring practice.
Notice Harbaugh didn't have any snarky response for either Beilema or dantonio, their programs aren't being investigated for promoting a rape culture, Hugh Freeze at least has had the good sense to shut up about the faux spring practice outrage.

Harbaugh is right. Tennessee is a goddamn mess. I'm actually surprised he hasn't been canned yet...
With what was this response associated?
I missed a step.
Profit
(but it was in response to this rather innocuous bit of tomfoolery from Jones)
Mind if I join you guys for lunch? @DantonioMark @BretBielema

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta...
this fall just due to Harbaugh calling everybody out like this! Now he's going to challenge the team to have his back. (Reminds me of Harbaugh guaranteeing a win over OSU in 1986 when he was UM's QB, and Bo challenging the team to go out and back him up!)

This is the same guy who guaranteed a win at Ohio State after all. I pinch myself every day he is our coach.

Proving once and for all that passive-aggressive snark is nothing but cheap whining in the face of honest candor.
I can't wait to play the SEC in a bowl game next year. Can we just leave the B1G and go to the SEC just so we can beat up on these clowns every year?

Instead of picking the biggest bully and punching him in the face, Harbaugh is picking the biggest gang of bullies and punching them in the face. Great to see the SEC get all riled up!
