Do you guys think Jones is more important or a guy we had never heard of? This thread is stupid and I lost too many brain cells reading what you idiots have to say. He's a nobody.

We lost Graham and oh crap what are we going to do? Then we hire Gillespie and we get our first big RB commit with Hurd. You guys freaked and it turned out great. Calm down and put down the guns.

He handles a lot of the marketing. The "Rise to the Top" thing was his idea, the 102 letters to the recruit was his idea(he did it sort of at bama), as well as a lot of other stuff. Everything you see Tennessee doing right now is his plan. He's working close with Butch and advising on how to Tennessee more visible with recruits. Not saying he makes or breaks Tennessee recruiting, but he's done a VERY good job so far.

Incorrect. The "Rise to the Top" tagline was devised by UT marketing before Butch was even hired. It was going to be applied to the next head coach, whoever it was going to be.

It is also completely incorrect that everything you're seeing done is his "plan." Maybe the 100+ personal letters, but nothing that the public has seen was his doing. He was basically the organizer for coaching visits. Easily replaceable.

You may be thinking of UT's new creative design director, Jonathan King, that also was hired away from Alabama. He is the one that has designed all of the billboards, post cards and posters that we've seen in recent months. He was hired in November to eliminate UT's need to pay a third-party design firm.

Got to love the mental midgets who get on here and make a big deal about a simple question.

The OP was a question if anybody knew why he left, not placing blame on anything or making a statement that we are doomed because of his leaving. Simple question of why is he leaving after about 3 months on the job?

Seems purdy low to me.

$55,000 is not low for a director of recruiting/recruiting coordinator (or whatever the school calls it). That job is pretty low on the totem pole.

Never said anything about the op. I was talking about the other idiots. Just wanted to clarify that you are not speaking to me.

My guess is the average age of the posters in here is around 10 or 11. Every conversation doesn't need to be turned into a joke.
