Why is Butch Jones (still) hated so much?

The hatred should be on the ADs that brought Dooley, Jones, and Pruitt here. Not a one of them had the resume to be the Tennessee coach.

We definitely mastered the art of the underwhelming hire. Dooley was at least articulate. I don’t know how you talk to Jones and Pruitt and even get past the first interview.

Why we should we hate anyone? ADs, especially ones like Hamilton and Fulmer, rarely, if ever, can make a unilateral decision to hire the HFC at a school like Tennessee

The distaste for Butch Jones hire should be directed at the UT administration follies that warned off more suitable hires. Butch Jones wanted the job when others didn’t. He saw Tennessee as a destination job regardless of the embarrassments of UT administration in-fighting, etc. Alas, he wasn’t up to the challenge, as Dobb’s graduation revealed his feet of clay.

Because Botch Jones did less with more that any other UT coach in living memory.

Pruitt was an embarrassment. He butchered the English language.

It's because of how fake he was. He never just talked directly like a normal person. Everything was a marketing ploy with some corny slogan and he wasn't honest with his players. And prior to Pruitt, his last year was the worst season in program history. The worst part of it is he really did land some elite talent but managed to squander it.
