While there is still no official word on whether or not Pig Howard will return to the Vols football team, Butch Jones left the door open yesterday when speaking to the Big Orange Caravan in Atlanta. “We will still make a decision,” said Jones. “We have laid everything out for Alton Howard. We have some prerequisites and requirements that need to be met. I have met with him a couple of times. … “I would say within the next couple of weeks (we will have a decision). The big thing for him — if he is back — and all roads lead to that right now, but we will see how that materializes. We would like to get him back here for summer. There will be some requirements led by our players’ staff. Alton knows that and he’s aware of that an and he’s done everything we have asked him to do up to this time.”
