Butch Jones calls mandatory meeting at 7:30am

[BoroVol86]

I would bet he has been contacted by either UT or Wisconsin. Something got him to pass on the Colorado job. He's been talking to someone.

Maybe it's because Colorado is a place that ends coaching careers. It's a death trap for any coach. WHy go to Colo when he can still be decent in the big east? Now, I hope to God he doesn't come to UT.

He is 2-1 vs Strong that we were excited about. Has shared or won his conference in 4 out of his 6 years as a HC.

Major upgrade from Dooley.

Brian Kelly at Cincy: 34-6 (85%)

Butch Jones at Cincy: 23-14 (62.1%)

Please.

FF is calling u

Hart has not met Jones yet but that's about to change from what we're hearing. Everyone is saying Jones will accept the offer on the spot. But hey you never know, Strong accepted the job over the phone, then later called back with concerns and Hart flew to Louisville to try and close the deal, we see how that worked out.

Fingers crossed we do not get turned down again.

Mike McIntyre would be a much better hire. But nope let's let our useless chancellor and BOT screw everything up.

Haha thats exactly why we have some of the most retarded fans in the country.

 

[VOLorNuttin]

Would hate it if they hired Jones. One of the coaches that made dooley look good.

I don't always agree with Spawn, but when I do, it's Dos +'s

+2

 

[jhunter11]

If he is the next coach, my 44 year tenure as a Vol fan will end.

Bye

 

[Jayadamo]

Not one of my top choices but do believe he would be an upgrade. Still not what we need imo.

 

[knoxvillevolntr]

Everything I've said about Dooley...... Substitute it with Butch Jones. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[VOLorNuttin]

damn you people are embarassing me right now.

chill out.

we have no idea how this man will do coaching for us.
go back to your Xbox and settle down.

We had an idea when Dooley was hired, and that turned out exactly as expected. Don't want to go down this road again.

 

[ZombVol]

This sucks bad.

 

[JVol76]

Best of luck to Jones if he's hired but I don't think it will end well for him or us.I've got a feeling we'll be doing this again in three years.

 

[Volbrando]

link to presser anywhere?

 

[JJ_ones71]

It truly is a sad day to be a Vol fan not because of the potential hire but because of the way you people are acting.

Yesterday after it was reported that butch turned down the Colorado job, my gut told me it was him.


Quit whining y'all. He might not be your pick, but It's time to rally behind our new coach and give him the best possible chance for success!

Welcome, coach!

His " chance for success" has little to nothing to do with fans reaction. It has to do with his ability to recruit to UT and win games.
