Recruiting alone A+!
The main thing is HOPE! not the false hope we had last year and the year before and the year before (which he called year 0). The Missouri game was the "get rid of this IDIOT" moment.

He gave us a good game while at Cincy and talent alone won the game for UT under Dooley. He has had 0- 5* and 0- 4* recruits at his other schools but still recruited the #1 pick in the 2013 nfl draft.

I love the way he embraces the tradition of Tennessee football and entrenches himself in it. I know he's not coached a game yet but I feel like he's already done more for the university than the last two coaches done in 5 years. Butch gets it!

Is this about CBJ or your obsession with Dools?

CBJ and the HOPE I have, not the false hope of Do little which most of us had!

Obsession with DOOLS LOL! It was hope which he never delivered!

He should be viewed as a coach that must beat Fla n bama within 2 or 3 years. If he can't do it then we have Johnny majors 2.0. Probably good enough for most fans to want to keep him around but not good enough to bring any type of championship to tn.

Its still a job n he must perform at a very level and that is not 8 or 9 win seasons..I believe he can do that but will wait n see on beating the big boys

I know such a reality check after all the love fest threads in the last week....lol

says the guy who answers his own thread with a dancing pepper. anyway, i dont want to have to explain to you how dooley is more intelligent than you are, so on to your thread topic.

i do not really disagree with you that CBJ provides hope, but i would say the main thing he is giving us is hype, excitement, momentum. say what you want about CBP, and volnation certainly does, but that was a guy who generated unprecedented interest and excitement about UT basketball, and that was very important for our success in that sport. i think CBJ is doing a great job selling the sizzle thus far, but its hype until his first season under. once we know more about him and his coaching staff then we will start getting our confidence back as a program. its july and i am excited about UT football (as always) but honestly this year i feel like we could get 8 wins or 8 losses. i really do not know what to expect, no one does. so for now, i say CBJ gives us hype.

Jones has brought swagger back!

It's been a long time that I could speak in a proud, confident voice about our team. However, I'm making sure that all of my buddies know as they have even started conversations about UT football before I did, and they're not fans.

And yeah, I don't know why I hang out with them either....

We have a proven winner now. CBJ has figured out how to beat the teams in his conference and win championships. He has a blueprint for success. On paper and on the field he is a flat out winner!

Then there is his eye for talent and he and his staff's recruiting ability...if they can get all that ink dried on those LOI's....watch out!
