General Neyland was hired primarily to come in and beat Vandybilt. After getting dogged by Vandybilt, Butch Jones was hired......
History repeats itself.
J/K in a way but really, Butch Jones looks very similar to General Neyland. The two men just really do resemble on another...
Butch Jones will have a similar record percentage wise to the General after it's all said and done!!

Didn't read that...we get schooled by Vandy and we hire Butch...meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice...General Neyland was hired at a time when Vandy was a superior program...that and a physical resemblance were the only parallels brought up by the opPosted via VolNation Mobile
From wikipedia:
Sports Illustrated named Neyland as the defensive coordinator of its all-century college football team in its "Best of the 20th Century" edition.[3] 112 of his victories came via shutout. In 1938 and 1939, Neyland's Vols set NCAA records when they shut out 17 straight opponents for 71 consecutive shutout quarters. His '39 squad is the last NCAA team in history to hold every regular season opponent scoreless.
Butch snags a few four and five star recruits and we're ready to anoint him as the 2nd coming of General Neyland. This is what you call a desperate fanbase...
Hows about we reserve judgement until after he wins a few games and manages to keep those recruits on board during the season...

Neyland is widely regarded as the best defensive mind in the HISTORY of college football. He was named the defensive coach of the ALL CENTURY TEAM. Some of his peers considered him the best all around college coach of ALL TIME. IIRC Knute Rocne (sp.) was one of those who felt that way. Other than that, perhaps you're on to something.?.?.?
