WOW! When I first saw this thread, I thought, no way he takes a high school job. I guess he feels he would like to have a positive influence on kids lives. He did always say he wanted to be Head Coach, so I guess this was his chance. Good luck Toney!

I wouldn't want TJ doing anything in my kid's life.

You shouldn't respect TJ.

Don't feel like going into detail, I'll be called a liar even if I do, but when people that have coached with him tell you how slimy he is, it's good enough for me.

I know how he is. I was referencing Tony as shady. Not you.

“I think being a high school coach is more in Tony's blood that people realize, because those are his roots,'' Pearl said. “He helped create a dynasty at Detroit Southwestern High School.

“Tony can X and O with anybody, but what seperates him is his ability to communicate, mentor and makle a difference in the lives of young people.''

Jones was a candidate for head coaching jobs at Marshall and Boston University during his tenure with the Vols.

I thought TJ was trying to decide which NBA offer to take, I guess he just loves Knoxville so much he was willing to forgo those offers to stay in town and mentor high schoolers.

I had heard that Alcoa was in need of someone who could run around with a confused look on his face and "raise the roof" like a maniac. Good hire.
