[rich4pres]

I mean, seriously, didn't that just happen about a week ago.

No you've got it backwards.

Supposedly UK offered and Butch turned them down. Apparently UT was the job he was shooting for this year.

 

[Cartervol]

Yeah Butch didn't want that job.. He heard Tennessee would be desperate in a couple of weeks and offer him a king's ransom for a buyout...

No. Butch Jones turned down Kentucky & Colorado.

 

[coffeevol]

The hire looks Ok, it is the fan base that looks awful

yep and Purdue

 

[SycloneJoe]

yep and Purdue

Oh yeah! I forgot about that one. :salute:

 

[utvols74]

At least he WANTS to be here! Can't say that for Gruden, Strong, Gundy, et. al. And I say welcome. I would MUCH rather have a guy who has passion, attitude and DESIRE than a highly paid pro whose looking over his shoulder for the next big thing (i.e. Kiffin).

And by the way, if he would have been coaching UT and Dools coaching Cincy - he would have won by 35 points.

Welcome Coach Jones.

He turned Kentucky down, despite what you might hear from some of the Wildcat faithful.

Well it's not like Kentucky has the greatest track record with football decisions. If UK did turn him down, I would take that as a good sign.

 

[Jonboy]

Live in KY. He turned them down from what I've heard.

Someone care to explain to me how a school turns a coach down. This is a new concept to me.hmy:
