I'm not going anywhere. I'm still flying to Eugene next year and spending my money to watch the Vols play. I'm still going to be obsessed and follow recruiting and cheer like crazy.
But we deserved more than this. This is a settle. We're taking a guy who'd been pursued by Kentucky and Colorado.
Hope he's good, but we deserve more excitement as fans. This fanbase deserves a lot more excitement, and a lot more to hope for than another maybe good hire.

Well pastor I personally would never yell at you for no liking the coach but ill tell you why I can get excited about CBJ.
1) He has won coach of the year award. Not everybody wins this. Gotta be good to win it.
2) He WANTS to be here. Has turned down three better jobs than he has right now for a chance to be a VOL. makes a world of difference in my mind.
3) the man has won EVERYWHERE he has been, as a Head coach not a cord.
4) the man has a lot of players from our recruiting grounds on his team which tells me he can recruit the southern states. I think he can get the "better" players for UT.
5) He will work his tail off to win at UT. Everything I have read about him people that know him say he puts in 120% to get better. I can live with that effort.
6) He's not Kiffin or Dooley.Hope this helps pastor.

The "real fans" like you who uniformly accept the dog crap the University has been spewing for the last decade are the reason we are where we are.Why are we just now getting upset about the academic problems? Why did so many of you support Derek Dooley to the bitter end despite ample evidence he was completely incapable of doing that job?
It is better to be honest. This is a mediocre hire. If Butch Jones is the best Tennessee can do then it's time to stop calling ourselves a major college football program.
If we don't get mad and make it clear to University administration that we don't support mediocrity they are never going to change. NEVER.
Arkansas just hired a guy who has been to three straight Rose Bowls. THREE. And we hire this guy, who has basically spent the last two weeks pretending he's the drunk girl with her boobs hanging out at 3 AM in the bar.

Some people on here disgust me. I'll be the first to admit I wouldn't be that overwhelmed with excitement from this hire, but I still think it is a good hire. What really bothers me is the people on this site, on twitter, and elsewhere who say they're jumping ship after this hire and yet have some form of VFL in their handles.
This will be a purging time at Tennessee. The real fans will stick with the program, renew their season tickets, and support our coach no matter who it is. Those who are not true Vol's For Life can go pretend to like Oregon or Notre Dame. We have no room for those kind of people here.
I have a lot of pent up frustration from this coaching search. Might I be taking it out on these "fans"? Maybe. Do I care? Not really. Who really gives a s
t if he lost to Dooley in a single game where he was on the losing end of a talent base?
I know this is the 100th support our new coach thread, but I had to say what I thought.
Go America. Go Vols. Go Our New Coach, whoever you may be.
