From a recent article about the CSU coaching search:

"Despite all this activity, CSU hasn't hired Bobo's replacement. Why? Let’s start with the integrity issue.

Jones, who college football analyst Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, FootballScoop.com and others said was nearing a deal to become CSU’s next coach, was implicated in a Title IX lawsuit against Tennessee while he was coaching there. An affidavit in the lawsuit filed in 2016 accused Jones of saying a player who helped a victim of an alleged rape “betrayed his teammates” and repeatedly allowed the accused players to physically and verbally harass the player who helped the victim.
Jones denied any wrongdoing at the time, and the university eventually settled the Title IX lawsuit out of court, paying $2.48 million to eight people who said they had been sexually or physically assaulted by Tennessee student-athletes between 2013 and 2015.
Jones, who had been a successful coach at Central Michigan and Cincinnati before going to Tennessee, went 34-27 overall and 14-24 in the Southeastern Conference in four-plus seasons at Tennessee. He was fired in 2017 after an 0-6 start in SEC play and has spent the past two years as an offensive analyst on Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama.
Multiple sources said the Title IX lawsuit became a stumbling block in Jones’ negotiations about becoming CSU’s coach."

When Nick finally hangs up the whistle and retires to his lake home will Butch be the lawn keeper? Really sad look, hell I would take a job as a position coach at Eastern Michigan before I would be Sabans towel boy. Ole Butch probably thinking he'll be named HC at bama if Nick retires.:rolleyes:

That’s the thing.

Yes, he’s fulfilling his agreements to be paid but he’s also not meeting the requirements for the Jobs he wants. That being said Jones is stupid enough to believe he’s going to be the HC at Bama one day if he does what he’s told when he’s told

I strongly doubt Butch Jones actually believes that. He's working a basically stress-free job and gets to milk the buyout checks from UT. Why would he want to screw up that arrangement? He's got it made. There's probably nothing more to it.

After the buyout money runs out I'm sure he'll all of a sudden magically have no problem landing a G5 or lower level P5 job.

There is an article in today's KNS about Alabama having 12 interns and talks about CBJ and his 35,000 salary which will only be supplemented by UT for two more months.

As bad as Derek Dooley was at Tennessee, he has worked as a full time assistant coach every season since being fired by Tennessee near the end of the 2012 season. He was the WR coach for the Dallas Cowboys from 2013-2017 and then he was the OC for Missouri from 2018-2019. There is no word yet on whether or not he will be retained by Missouri's new coach for 2020... but more than likely he will have a full time assistant job somewhere. It is very unusual to see someone with head coaching experience for an SEC school struggle to get a full time job after being fired... Chad Morris goes to Auburn as an OC, Matt Luke goes to Georgia as an Offensive Line coach. Maybe Butch is just lazy? Or maybe Butch is just a loser? It's one or the other.

Perfect example of why you never downgrade so far in job title. I know why Saban took him (screws over TN), but Butch is an idiot for taking a low paying analyst job after being an SEC head coach. Did he think Saban was going to teach him how to win in big-time football? No one wants this doofus now.

Chizik won a NC and is the B crew for the SECNetwork.

I think with most HCs they had a background as those position coaches pretty recent in their past. Luke was an interim on a multiyear contract and Morris bounced from SMU before he could look suspect.

the intern has been a HC for a while.

As an aside I would be interested to see what happens with Odom. I figure someone picks him up as DC this off season.

My God, that bum Jones cant get hired by anyone. Yet we paid him a ton of cash and kept him for 5 years. At least Dooley went to the NFL. Good grief.
