Coach Jones

[gator haters]

So I was going to stay away and not be one of these guys that has to act as if they know everything about this coach, or who we should of got but I wanted to add this...... We recruit Florida, Georgia an South Carolina adding CBJ adds Ohio to our recruiting which is huge since Ohio has ALOT of talent as long as he can recruit again Urban

The saddest part of this hire for me is that ARKANSAS has managed to hire considerably bigger names for their last two coaches than UT. Why? Arkansas gets Petrino / Tennessee gets Dooley...Arkansas gets Bielema / Tennessee gets Jones. Either Tennessee, for some reason, is less attractive to potential coaches than Arkansas, who faces LSU and Alabama...OR, the hiring efforts of UT have been deficient. For clarity, I'm not suggesting Bielema is a home run hire or that Jones will be a flop, but Bielema is undeniably more highly regarded than Jones. From my perspective, it appears as though Arkansas' AD has simply been more determined. Why? To put it another way...With the previous hire, ARK got the head coack of the ATL Falcons while Tennessee got the coach from La Tech. With this hire, ARK got the coach from Wisconsin and Tenn, a school with a better tradition, a softer conference, and geographical superiority, got the coach from Cincinatti, after trying to land bigger names. Regardless of who we think Butch Jones may become, the truth remains...UT is being outsold by ARK.

Dude give it a rest

I am so tired of seeing this today. Putting this in almost every thread will not make anyone care what you think. So give it a rest. :hi:

CBJ also catches balls on the sideline, but at least it's when the other team is throwing it.

There's an old saying about lawyers don't hire the best hire the one who wants to beat the best because he will work harder.I hope the best for the VOLS and coach Jones he wants to take on the best,that shows he has confidence in himself.I say go VOLS
