December 7, 201213 yr Well according to whit babcocok he was plannng on staying at uc until Charlie strong turned down the UT job. He turned down Colorado before UT was open. I don't agree nor do I think your timeline is accurate.
December 7, 201213 yr Well according to whit babcocok he was plannng on staying at uc until Charlie strong turned down the UT job. He turned down Colorado before UT was open. Strong officially turned down UT at like 8:00 AM Thursday morning. Jones didn't officially turn down Colorado until a few hours later....You do the math.
December 7, 201213 yr The best way to entice fans is through wins. True, if I remember correctly ND fans were quite unimpressed at the Kelly hire.

December 7, 201213 yr Strong officially turned down UT at like 8:00 AM Thursday morning. Jones didn't officially turn down Colorado until a few hours later....You do the math. UT was always the end game in this. I think he said yes to CU as well until UT called Wednesday evening...

December 7, 201213 yr UT fans are wanting Butch to hire Tee Martin immediately. Butch is very loyal to his assistants. Have to think most will join him...
December 7, 201213 yr I like the hire and hope he does great there. I'd rather have him than Strong. I think Tenn fans will be surprised. First call I'd make is to Tee Martin. That would get him out of the gates with a great recruiter and the backing of Vol Nation.
December 7, 201213 yr I will be anxious to see how he does rebuilding a program. Up to this point he has ridden BK's coat tail... no doubt Jones is a good coach, but he has greatly benefitted from Brian Kelly being a great coach at programs before him!
December 7, 201213 yr Not sure Butch is a good fit for Tennessee but what do I know. I thought he would find Wisconsin more appealing.
December 8, 201213 yr Butches first move is to fire the strength and conditioning coach, Ron McKeefery? That interview must not have gone well, at all. I imagine Jones wants to bring in his own guy from UC. Met Ron once. Great guy, but intense. Hope they bring him back to USF. The team did not appear near as conditioned under Golden.
