Saying he is like Dooley isn't very accurate. As a head coach he's done more than Dooley, but he is a risk as he's never really been on a big stage like the SEC schedule puts you on.

He is. He lost to Dooley. He rode Brian Kelly s coattails. My response is why should the fan base go to games anymore. We've sunk to an all time low.

more like he cleaned up after kelly....talk to some UC people and see who they like better.

He didn't. He has followed Coach Kelly, yes, but he has earned that. He will be a great coach.

Sounds like he really wants us. If he's that fired up to be a vol, let's grab him.

I just cant get behind this.......this is the BEST we can do with 4-5M in our pockets to offer??? Wow.......our administration is who needs fired. What a joke they have turned this program into. I would 100% rather bring back CPF, Chief, Tee and Jay and call it a day. The depths that my proud alma mater has fallen makes me sick to my stomach.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand y'all's reaction. Coach Jones is a great coach. He is going to be the next great coach to leave UC and have even more success at a big name program. Look at what D'Antionio did. Look what Brian Kelly is doing. I have full confidence Butch will do the same thing wherever he goes. He's a winner.

Cincinnati itself might not have the reputation of a big-time program, but the coaches who come from there always seem to outperform the expectations.

I agree. Most of our fans expect us to resurrect Vince Lombardi and get him to coach us.

I agree I am letting out all my frusteration now, praying to god he doesn't get the job, but when he does there is nothing we can do but support him.

You the man, drizz!

You could have said the exact same thing about D'Antonio and Kelly when they left UC. But I don't think that the Spartan or Irish fans are complaining too much right now...

Hopefully he only gets a small raise by coming here (I think he salary at UC is around $1.5m) and he hires an all-star staff with UT and SEC ties.

If he turned down 3 jobs with big money waiting on UT, maybe he is the guy we want. Just saying

At least he wants to be here and it's not for an increased paycheck. He could have gotten that at Purdue or Colorado. He's got HC experience and he has won. I say we give him a chance.

They seem to hire coaches that perform well as coaches in the W columns. Can't knock them for not doing their job. Can we say the same for TN?
