Why NOT Butch Jones?

  • BuckShot JP said...

    I wasn't saying I can't blame him for not making a BCS game because he's not at a football school. I wasn't saying that brian kelly's success means that Butch Jones would be successful, but his record is definitely promising.

    My point, though, remains that he has a better resume as a HC than Charlie Strong. Who has Charlie Strong beaten? Look at the 3 years he's been there and tell me you see a signature win. I don't see it, but he just received a ridiculous increase courtesy of UT's willingness to overpay.

    +1

    After watching this video and doing some research on Butch Jones, I'd be happy with him as our next HC. The only question is whether he can recruit in the SEC, but that's the gamble with most coaches.

    he might be the fire we are missing..and might work out if he keeps most of the staff we already have

    lets look at this way we could have won some those close loss'es ,,,so to me i think its minor fixing the coaching staff..we have in place ,,butch coming to tenn keeping pittman..graham..and any other assitant coach that's deservine to keep..might be all we needed..far as the recruiting goes keeping the names above will help butch on the recruiting trail..hiring tee if possiable would be huge for recruiting
    but could hart even hire tee martin at this point?
