Phil Steele on Butch Jones

Don't know if you guys saw it, and it's part of ESPN's insider. Basically, he talks about why he thinks Butch Jones is good for Tennessee (his reasons are not anything you guys haven't heard). At the end he says he thinks CBJ will have us in a bowl next year and competing for the SEC East title in 2014. Just thought I'd pass it on

Why Butch Jones will turn Tennessee Volunteers around - college football - ESPN

Phil Steele writes that while some Tennessee fans might have questions about Butch Jones' credentials, the former Central Michigan and Cincinnati coach has what it takes to turn the Volunteers around.

One of the worst and most unrealistic articles I've ever read... He isn't plugged into the program enough. He thinks there's a solid chance of Bray and Hunter returning.

Gave you a +1, but I didn't want him either. Gotten over 50 down votes in 2 days from these yucks & been a Vol fan my entire life. Supports Majors, Fulmer, Kiffin (while he was here), Kippy Brown (should have kept him), & even Dooley. I don't support Hart or Cheek, so therefore I don't support this half a$$ decision. Now sit & watch me accrue more down votes, going for a record here... :)

With "fans" like you, who needs opponents? Why are you and a UC follower even on a UT website? TROLL. Enjoy hanging out under that dark cloud that typically follows you and your kind around. Oh, and you too, Cincy.

Tommy just figures everyone else goes through Cincy to get a good job, so he would give it a shot.

Amen Brother. I know the feeling. I have no problem with Jones, but Susan Martin, Hart and Cheek create a glass ceiling for him.
And if you criticize reporters for not posing a full account of the mess between AD and admin - not once during the past year - you get your post deleted.
this mess won't get fixed soon becasuse all the local media are lap dogs for the school.
