So I did a bit of Googling, because that's how I roll. The first half seems to be a common quote, with the oldest attribution I was able to find being from 1983 (as an aside, the article is worth a read, if only for its familiarity). The second half looks to be attributable to Butch Jones and also seems to be SEC-specific, who... I would not use as a role model for building a program.
I would also think that that seven years would be applicable to building from the ground up, not building on a strong foundation like LSU or Tennessee had. |
All i’ll say to that is that not only was my dad on the athletic board long before Butch Jones ever showed his face on the UT campus, he was in the ground before that man ever coached at UT team. So it wasn’t original with him. |
To repeat Queenie, because I also did some searching, the only references online are when Butch Jones said it and when you said. The only ones. On the entire internet.
That's certainly not conventional wisdom.

You just HAVE to be right, don't you? Fine.
