Butch Jones to Arkansas State

[CR-vol]

He destroyed this football team and then milked the school for every last cent. Eff this dude. He’s a real pos.

It's always funny how people get mad at him over this. As if that contract was all his doing and the University was innocent. The admistrative fools at every university in the country write up these golden parachute contracts for every head coach out there. So that's good enough for them. Because obviously they have the riches to throw around, right? Butch Jones sucks but he's not an idiot. Good for him milking that contract for nearly every cent. Anyone here on this message board in the same situation would do the exact same.

Bet JG will be his starting QB next season

 

[tnvols72]

maybe he will hire Pruitt as his DC

 

[dcm3w]

I’m so eager to hear his press conference to see if he uses the “best staff in the country”

Brick by brick

I’ll be pulling for him. I never understood the disdain for the guy. His overall record as a HC is commendable. He’ll do well in the Sunbelt.

Mainly because of the worst season in UT history. The lies behind close doors. Title 9 lawsuit but i dont deny he loved Tennessee and wanted to win here at all cost but just couldnt..

Another graduate of the Nick Saban rehab center for wayward coaches. I guess we should be proud, we paid for it.

This football program was destroyed by mike Hamilton’s stupidity. Butch just helped it along.

Guarantee you Butch doesn’t lose to Georgia State.

I don't think the Dool would either.

 

[knox73]

Best of luck to Butch. Hope he does well.

 

[rocky top buzz]

Guarantee you Butch doesn’t lose to Georgia State.

I know, just look how he didn't come close to losing to appy state...

Butch Jones is the new head coach at Arkansas State

https://www.si.com/college/tennessee/football/breaking-butch-jones-named-new-head-coach-at-arkansas-state

does this get him off our payroll? I know how that money could be used

He will do very well there. I am totally sure of that.

JG to Arky State

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Both. You're supposed to hate him for both. Just hate him in general. Hate hate hate. If you see him, point at him with your outstretched index finger and scream "SHAME." He may come over to accost you -- if he does, just inform him you don't need any of your cars washed today thank you. That should just about cover it.

I would feel bad to do that to the only decent head coach we've had in the last 11 years..

But hate away if you want to...but not being hypocritical about makes it seem more logical

 

[vavolfan6]

Didn't we play arky state while Butch was here?! Ohh how the tables turn

 

[Skippy95]

I don’t like what butch did here but I do wish him the best. I think he will do really well at ark state

 

[SpookyAction]

I think Arky St is about his level where he can be successful. He should be successful there.

I still say we should have ended his payout when he refused a request for a job interview at Oregon St in 2017.

 

[Volinnooga]

I’m glad fir him. That’s the level where he needs to be

 

[schmalfungus]

We get Lane next year. Lets get Butch too. He’ll find out where Dooley is and get his team on the schedule

Lane will kill us

 

[Godfatha]

I hope he loses every game. A total douchebag

 

[VolFanNC09]

Good for him. I don't have any ill will for him. He was over his head in our program, but good he can land somewhere else.

 

[dobre_shunka]

Jonesboro is actually a pretty nice town.

Mea culpa, manufacturerd homes

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

I had him pinned for Kent St. Hope he enjoyed his 3 yr long paid vacation!

This pretty much guarantees AL the NC as they were not going to win one with gym coach Jones on staff.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Anyone have a link to his presser? I just want to feel a little pain

Dang....I used to work for a big booster there....Oh well, guess used to was right!
