We love Big Orange Football and the great state of Tennessee. We have been kicked around, despite promises to the contrary. Not all of us spew ignorance on message boards to puff our e-selves up. We believe better days are ahead, and soon, we hope. May God bless you as you lead young men to represent us on Saturdays and throughout the year.

Welcome coach!
To get things started well, let's get Tee Martin here and let's keep Jay Graham, Hinshaw and Pittman around...that's a good start.

I'll support him, but I hope he knows he walked into a dumpster fire, and his bosses are baffoons.

Gimmicky offensive coaches seldom keep any of the current offensive staff.

Hated the hire at first....then I researched it....winning coach with 6yrs head coaching experience....won conference 4of those 6yrs.....beat Charlie Strong 2 out of 3ys....Big East coach of the year 2x....so I will give him a little bit of rope and see if he hangs himself....he needs to retain Graham and Pittman....then bring in former players to help him understand the culture at TN...this is 3rd stop....not 1st or 2nd.....so here we go......GO VOLS

Who says Tyler Bray will be here? You are deranged if you are going to spend the next 3 years being down on the guy. There was not the first thing you could do to change what happened. Get mad and get over it. Then pull for Coach Jones and the Vols!

Colorado is hating us today.......that was supposedly a done deal. I think we got the best coach in the Big East. CCS may have been #2, but I think CBJ is without a doubt the best in the Big East.

I bet Mr Peterman could handle the occasional option... Kind of like that guy who plays for the Redskins.

Honestly guys, I am not thrilled about Butch Jones either, but lets look at what makes TN football. Watching this unfold, I followed for about 8 hrs. a day. Was ALL GRUDEN as most of us. Interesting thing that makes TN football what it is was watching 2 days ago on Louisville Football forum when Strong was deciding on his future. They had 20-30 users online and "replies" to posts averaged 15-20. At the same time VOL NATION had over 11000 users online and server crashes. The fanbase at TN is passionate to say the least. Butch Jones wants to be here and lets move forward and understand what he is inheriting. He taking over a program that has not been bowl eligible in the last 2 years with the bulk of "playmakers" more than likely moving on. GO VOLS and lets continue the great passion that makes ROCKY TOP what it is!

Ready for the Butch Jones Era!!! He will soon be a vol for life. He is not a bad hire! He is not a sexxy hire, but just do a little research on this coach. This guy wanted the tennessee job. I hope he does great things here, if not .......... hell i dont want to even talk about it. GBO lets get behind Jones until he gives us reasons not too. Prove the Vol Nation wrong Butch Jone, and win some damn football games!!!!
