Butch Jones

No to Butch Jones. He has piggy backed off programs Kelly has built.

Ok he lost to Strong head to head by 3, but he beat the teams Strong lost to (Syracuse and UCONN) and also beat VA Tech.

He's energetic and I really feel like he'd embrace Tennessee and the traditions. His teams seem to love him and play hard for him. His recruiting class this year is ranked above Strongs. He has no SEC ties but he can be intense.

I think we should hire Butch Jones. No he's not a big name, but he could be the next big name. Do we really want to miss out again?

Also should point out he has beat Charlie and UL 2 out of 3 times.

He would take the job for about 1/2 what Strong was going to be getting.

lulz.... I think I'm ready to say you're hired to anybody who can draw a football and a goalpost on a piece of paper.

Got beat like a drum by a Dooley coached team.

hell no to jones

hell no to jones

Yeah...let's get "are" ex hof coach. THAT makes more sense. :lolabove: Dooley all but beat Butch Davis...does that make him a better coach than Davis? Nope. Butch Jones had a better record at CMU thank Brian Kelly and I would rather have him than even Strong.

Got beat like a drum by a Dooley coached team.

I just realized this about five minutes ago and couldn't believe I didnt remember. Might have been Dooley's biggest win as Vol.

I still stand by what I said about him months ago. I think he has a legitimate shot to win and to win big here.

That said, Dave Hart should be fired for how he managed the coaching search. There is no question that there were guys out there with better resumes who we didn't offer. And Jones was clearly far down everyone's list. I think he will succeed, but if he does, it will mean Hart got lucky, not that Hart made the best decision or that he got the best candidate.

If Trooper even drives across Tennessee state lines, I hope the NCAA positions a sniper to take him out. JMO

Butch Jones will be the football Bruce Pearl.

Energetic, creates excitement, great hype man, interacts with fanbase.

In other words, exact opposite of our last coach.

A prophet?

 

[terrypedigo]

Take the guy that Dooley has a "signature" win over?

Had to to it. Butch is a good coach, but it would be a wait and see hire. Not what UT needs right now.

The week before Hunter got hurt on that day we would have beat about anybody we played that day hating to do that but i had to plus i hope coach can out recruit DOOLEY.

 

[Escape Goat]

You seriously think this guy is even on UT's radar?

Jimmy Hyams just confirmed that he is in fact on UT's radar. Tifwiw.
