From volgrl's link:

"An NFL scout says: 'If you’re just looking at the surface, you see him winning with what Brian Kelly built. Don’t believe that garbage. He can coach. He was one of those guys a few years ago where you just knew big things were coming his way. He’s not done, either. Not by a longshot.' ”

VolReporter always said if Gruden falls through then Jones was the guy for the backup plan. I still liked the Plan A, but I'm a VOL no matter what.

That ranking was in May. He's in the top 20 now. Above what you could expect for a bottom feeding program the past five years. I think he will get us off the bottom. It can not sink any futher. I'm in with Jones. I know we will have many still in the 90's that will never take a realistic look.

This is awesome! Have you guys heard of the new construction changes at Neyland Stadium that Cheek, Hart, and the BOT are planning with the new hire of Butch Jones? They are going to improve the view of the Tennessee River from certain points on campus by removing the upper deck at Neyland. There's no need for 100,000 plus seats anymore.

This hire is a joke. Listen, he's a solid coach, but can anyone honestly say they are excited for the spring game, that he will generate immediate excitement on the recruiting trail, that he will bring a buzz back to our program, that he will increase or unite our fanbase, and the answer is no!!! He is not a proven winner in a big time conference. The Big East is the laughing stock of the BCS, and we were dying to hire coach from there. He's beat 1 top 25 team. I'm sorry, but this hire should unite us, not divide us. It should excite us, not cause us to say come on guys let's give him a chance!

I've always supported my university as a lifelong vol fan and alumni, but I've had it. This decision not only hurts our program, but it hurts the city of Knoxville economically. Knoxville had a buzz when I went to college here in the 90s. Game days were exciting. Now it's a beautiful place to live with great people and complete apathy for a once proud program among very proud fans.

Yeah I saw that. Sorta eerie that they called it in May and yet no one thought he was on our radar during the search until Strong turned us down.

To be fair, he was ranked above them in May... that list would look VERY different if it was compiled today.
