If you don't like what I have to say you do not have to be here. You can gloat that JG wasn't hired but you really have no idea what transpired in the last 24 hours. You don't have to believe me but soon enough the information will be brought to light and you will not be happy. Your AD who made a hire that according to you is a "solid" hire. Tennessee deserved a great hire not a solid hire. This AD did this deal under the cover of night and gave boosters and fans alike a big FU. Hart will not be here long prob no mre than 6 months but we will be stuck with a coach that got beat by Dooley. Butchy is a third tier coach. And you are already seeing how strong his staff will be. He hired his own recruiting coordinator. Well heck that's a home run!!! Right not at all.
Wait til the news start coming out about how this went down and what we could have had!!!!
The hire is done but the story is far from over and rest assured it will be brought to light. The media has already reported that Jones got an offer "late" in the night!
The hiring of Butch Jones is an EPIC FAIL!
Dave Hart and Jimmy Cheek have done a serious disservice to each and every Volunteer fan, young and old alike! You can also include any big $$$$ boosters who supported this hire into the previous sentiment. The Athletic Department, namely Dave Hart, has made a mockery of the University of Tennessee football program.
I cannot wait until the true story about this hiring starts to leak out to the media. I have no confidence that the Knoxville Sport's Media will investigate what took place in the dark of night this a.m. after Tarzan was was all but "signed, sealed and delivered". However, I do believe that a certain writer in Chattanooga will blow this story wide open! I sincerely hope that he has the moxy to step up to the plate and bring the truth to light for all Vol fans to see.
We the fans have been short-changed by the AD (and whatever donors were involved) once again. We have been presented with a lack-luster hire. UT could have had filet mignon but instead the AD has forced horse meat on us. I for one will not support this Administration nor will I support this football hire! Frankly, I question Dave Hart's motive; his ego proceeds him in a room and his buffoonery rivals that of the recently dismissed Derek Dooley!
Wake-up Vol fans.... Dave Hart just hired the guy who was Derek Dooley's signature win!!! This is simply unreal - Vol fans we do not have take this laying down. We must let the UT Administration, the UT Athletic Department, and any boosters who supported this hire know that we do not support them nor this hire!!!

P.S. Any OG's are welcome here.
As boro as said if I say what I know, then posters will just flame away like they have during this whole coaching search. The fact is Tennessee could have and should have had JG however instead we have Butch Jones. Not blaming him for taking the job that he was offered.
The fault is not with him rather Dave Hart. An AD who had no intention of being at UT for the long term. There are so many things wrong with this hire and jones does not even meet the criteria that Hart laid out as his requirements for the next coach of the Vols. There have been very few coaches that make a successful jump from the Big East to a power conference. I think that a poster listed two coaches out of seven or eight coaches who were able to duplicate the results that had in that weak conference.
Knowing what I know I cannot and will not support the actions that Hart has taken. That is the only way that I can show my disdain for all things Hart. To do otherwise, would in my opinion be acquiescing to the subversive tactics that Hart has used in this situation. I guarantee you that Hart is convinced that Vol fans will go on like it is just another day and that we will take whatever we are given without questioning the hire or the methods or the back room bs that had occurred.
Jones is not the best that UT could do but Many Vol fans are doing exactly what Hart expected... They are accepting third best when they could have had the best. Hopefully the big $$$$$ boosters will send a message to Hart! The media has already begun talking about how good this hire is. I guess it is true that if u say something enough people will believe whatever it is. And Jones staff will not be all stars. Tiny Richardson did not even know who Butch Jones was!

about tired of whiners and complainers. dooleys gone. we hired a football coach who has actually won games and championships. can he win in the sec. who knows, but i do know he deserves a chance and i am behind him. first he has to put a top notch staff together then close out recruiting. there are still some great players that can be reeled in. these babies that call themselves fans make us all look bad nationally. coach jones has not done one thing wrong. stay off him until he does at least.
