If he can't even bring good recruiting, Jones is essentially useless as a coach for us at this point.

Hoping for the right job to somehow open up to hire him away.

Hoping Dave Hart gets hair dye in his eye for giving him a 10 million dollar buyout.

True or not if I was Butch Jones Vq would never get any access to my program again. Them reporting he was looking around, even though they said his agent does that every year, has caused much damage. If I was him they are cut off.

Call me an optimist, but I'll hold my opinions til February. Recruiting goes like this every year, and one thing CBJ and his staff has proven, is they can recruit well and evaluate well!!
Now coaching up after they get here, that's another story! Lol

I haven't conceded Trey to OSU just yet. Having said that, if this class really does tank then I'd have to agree with you.

A bad season is just that. Sucks, but c'est la vie. It's only one season; you can tinker with your scheme, your staff, come back strong.

But if he's lost his muse on the recruiting trail, the impact lasts years. Dooley's exit showed us that. If that's really the case here, we need to move on.

I don't get the Applewhite talk. Wouldn't he just follow Herman to Texas, his alma mater?

Applewhite's name popped up in a lawsuit by the fired (forced) track coach Beverly Kearney. She was forced out after a relationship with one of her athletes but Applewhite wasn't for an extramarital affair with a student trainer...and he was a horrible coach in Austin.

Freak, is it possible to ignore all posts with Life Champions or Champions of Life referenced within them? If I see one more yahoo posting it because they think it's still original and funny, I might have a coronary.

Things can always change on the recruiting trail, but this is his first year with a major headwind.

Wow, their fanbase just went through the emotions of our football season in the span of about 18 hours (on cloud 9 over an impressive performance in beating UNC, then kicked in the nads with this news about football)!

We know all about getting kicked in the nads, for sure.

Don't worry about it. There is a 3* diamond somewhere out there that even with that offer from Buffalo, they all ours.

Funny how CrunchyLeb and Bruin become very vocal during our down times. They embrace depression and defeat. They definitely fuel the rage around here.

Or maybe it's not funny at all.

I hate being a NegaVol. I was having so much fun what with having hope and thinking that maybe things would be okay after all.

Going to be brutal if we miss out on Smith...sheesh. That wall Butch supposedly put around the state in 2014 has come crumbling down.

I get a sense that Tennessee is particularly easy to recruit against. I guess it's because we've been down so long and instate players grew up while we sucked. Butch's last two years resemble the end of the Mark Richt tenure, but Richt's recruiting never fell off.

We really do need stability here. I think if we could ever get a guy in here that could get this thing rolling we wouldn't lose instate talent like this, even in the down years.
