The only thing more ridiculous is Congress getting salary and benefits for life. What American worker who actually works gets that . They should have a 401K to participate in like everyone else. I bet a Tennessee Farmer would even like to have that option. Coaches getting paid for failing. Who came up with these standards. Once heard a great man quote face value prices and finish with " Pay these prices and pay no more".Oh that’s the beauty of it. We’re still going to be paying him even after this promotion
Says all it needs to say about the character of both Jones and Saban. No way I’d pull a stunt like that if I were an already successful head coach. Hopefully the season of reaping is at hand. Time will tell.
I wish someone would ask Saban during an interview how it feels to be taking part in a scheme to defraud a public university. When he says whaaaaa answer with
You know, the whole knowingly employing a coach and using a loop hole to get a state funded school to foot the bill for you.
I feel sorry for Butch in one way...he’s going to look back at these years (years he doesn’t have to waste) and regret trading his passion for coaching for $$$ out of spite.
I truly believe the hate has a hold of him.
Just let it go. Go find a job you love doing and love your family. Hanging on to so much hate for UT will destroy him.
It’s the leadership for UT at the time that is to blame. Don’t get into terrible contracts and you don’t have to worry about loopholes.Oh that’s the beauty of it. We’re still going to be paying him even after this promotion

Wish he had been an assistant to Saban before he came to us. This will help him and he will be a HC again. No ill will towards him. We knew he was from a small time institution when we hired him.

He no longer an associate. He is now assistant to the manager....
I think that is a large part of Saban's motivation. He enjoys having what was supposed to be one of his rivals become his lackey. The one that looks bad on is Butch, that he is willing to swallow all semblance of pride just so he can be in the presence of the game. If he can still be paid head coach wages, so much the better.Oh that’s the beauty of it. We’re still going to be paying him even after this promotion

Jones will have this follow him for the rest of his career. If I'm an AD looking at the risk he represents as a coordinator OR HC plus this behavior... I pass. EVERYTHING that Jones is currently doing says bad things about him. I know he'll try to sell that he was essentially taking a "sabbatical" to learn under a master but I wouldn't buy it. He would have been better off taking the HC job at EKU than what he's done IMO.
I hire people. Something that indicates vindictiveness or taking advantage of a previous employer would influence my perception of a candidate pretty heavily. I've actually passed people over for it.I doubt this would even enter into discussions when it comes to his next coaching job. This is something a lot of UT fans line to obsess about, but probably wouldn’t even register on anyone else’s radar. At worst, they just wouldn’t give him the same buyout terms. It’s Tennessee’s own dumb fault for structuring it that way, Butch is just taking advantage of the situation. I mean, we did fire him, so it’s not like he’s gonna feel sorry for us paying him like we said we would in the contract.
