I posted this in another thread but though more people would see it like this. Butch Jones is awesome!!! This was at the UT recruiting Celebration at UT
I talked to coach jones and he asked where I went to school and told him I go to school with Malik and Devaun and that I would be attending UT next year. He asked what I was going to major in and I told him sports management and that i would love to do something to help out football he said I kid u not "it would be great to have you help out, why don't u swing by my office in the fall and we can talk"...... Guys I am still excited and I probably drove to fast coming home but ha what can I say? Butch is the man and I will definitely be taking him up on that offer!!!!!

Me and my wife took our picture right after you did. I was standing right behind you in line.
I personally thanked Coach Jones tonight not only for having these events for the fans, but actually spending as much time as he did AFTER the event to have one on one conversations with the fans.
Man, he is an impressive guy. I would say my approval rating for him right now is 110%
I hope he is here for a long time.
