Butch Jones: Peyton Manning tried to sell me on Colorado four days ago, and I told him, "I want to coach at Tennessee."

I thought he said that he "thought" about texting that back to him. Anywho, not a big deal.

Confident man, this Lyle Allen Jones Jr.

Why was Peyton even worried about the Colorado job?

I am pretty sure he just called out Franklin lol

I'm pretty sure he made a swipe at Dooley as well when he talked about being in every high school in the state for recruiting...

I remember Fulmer saying the same thing. This guy seems to get it...

I thought I heard him say something along the lines of sending more players to the NFL than anyone else. Surely I misheard that. Did anyone else hear that?

There it is. It's what I really wanted to hear. This job is the man's dream job. He will do anything and everything to keep this job. I know I did this with the Dooley presser, but I'm falling for this guy hard.

Peyton was trying to recruit Jones to Colorado? Has Peyton tried to recruit anyone to Tennessee throughout this process? If not, shame on you Peyton ha!
I like what I hear so far in this press conference. Of course he is saying all of the right things. But I can sense his energy. The guy seems really hungry. I hope he comes in with a chip on his shoulder and "butch" slaps the rest of the SEC!
Butch, please!

Butch Jones said he grew up watching Tennessee football, and that his 2011 visit to Knoxville confimed everything he suspected.

I am too. The guy is passionate. He WANTED to be at Tennessee. I think that people don't appreciate the importance of that. We were having to beg Gruden, Strong, and Gundy to come. But this guy wants to be here. This is a destination job for him. The more I learn about him and the more I hear from him, the more I like him.
Butch, please!

Ditto man...I thought he'd be a good hire and have been so frustrated over the past 2 days with Vol Fans reaction to him...but he's firing me up, which isn't good b/c im laying in bed needing to go to sleep!
