December 7, 201213 yr Author UT seems to hire questionable coaches ever since Fuller left. Lane Kiffen, Dooley, and now Jones. Only 2 years of head coaching experience for a high profile program like Tennessee. Six years as a head coach for Jones.
December 7, 201213 yr Six years as a head coach for Jones. Stand corrected on years coaching. Still think UT was limited on coaching candidates after Strong declined. I hope he's ready for the SEC.
December 7, 201213 yr One report is the contract is 6 yrs/$18M. I heard 5 years and 17 plus last night...
December 7, 201213 yr Unbelievable how UT fans can be upset over someone before he even gets a chance to make an impression. I am willing to bet Butch Jones knows how to beat Vandy. I want to root for UT for Jones but not for their fans.
December 7, 201213 yr Mark Ennis @Mengus22 Butch Jones was 2-1 vs. Charlie Strong with the one loss coming on the road in overtime. But y'all keep being mad. #VFL Didnt Coach Jones take over the Cincy program after a Sugar Bowl trip? Coach Strong took over a program at UofL that had not been to a bowl in 3 years. 3 years later UofL has caught and passed Cincy. Also didnt Tenn beat Cincy last year 45-23 that was coached by Dooley. Good luck to Coach Jones.

Good luck to Coach Jones. Considering UC and UL tied for the Big East title the last two years, saying UL passed them is misleading. Strong had every chance to win league outright and his team laid two eggs is reality...
December 7, 201213 yr Hard to blame him for taking the job. He got a raise, better facilities, and better resources ($$$$). True, but this is what, the 4 th HC in 6 years at Tennessee. How is that kind of instability going to look to recruits? Also, 8+ win seasons will be expected. No short order in the SEC!
December 7, 201213 yr If one of the players were to get extra gravy on his chicken fried steak (because he is a player) at the same Cracker Barrel Jones sat at Wednesday night while playing Colorado off Cincinnati off Tennessee in his money grub, the player would be subject to NCAA sanctions.

I don't think he was playing anyone. He had every intention of taking the CO job until he found out the UT job was open IMO.
December 7, 201213 yr Considering UC and UL tied for the Big East title the last two years, saying UL passed them is misleading. Strong had every chance to win league outright and his team laid two eggs is reality... UofL beat both teams they were tied for and earned the BCS Bid. I think its pretty safe to say that UofL With what they have coming back will be the BigEast Favorite again next year if they are not allowed to leave the ACC.

Pitt and Syracuse had to stay an extra season and they wont let louisville out unless they pay a large sum of money
