It's a bad hire for UT fans who think they deserve better. It's a good hire for an AD that is trying to fill the position with a coach who has been a head coach before with a winning record.

 

Only time will tell. This is a 'wait and see' project if any there were such a thing.

 

I'll give him credit in one regard. Out of the past few recent coaches that have been at UT. Coach Jones has the best relationship with the city of Memphis High School coaches then any other recent hire. While at Cincy his staff made recruiting Memphis a priority. Those endeavors should help benefit UT in recruiting in Memphis in the future whith him as the HC at UT.

I think it was a solid hire, but he will never match the unrealistic expectations of the UT fanbase. UT fans just need to hope they can stay above Kentucky, because if Mark Stoops gets it going there, UT and Missouri will be hanging out at 6th and 7th place in the East for a while. Just my opinion though.

He's a great hire because he's turned the Tennessee football program around from the wasteland Derek Dooley turned it into! Tennessee will win the SEC East in 2016.

Eat them words!!!LOL.I thought theu would too.Now look at this dumpster fire.SMH.

Butch Jones had better start looking for a Defensive Coordinator and Offensive Coordinator that are WAY smarter than he is or he will be looking for a new job after the 2016 season.

After this Saturday we all wont have to worry about Jones anymore. Imo he will not beat South Carolina I may be wrong but to me he is just average coach and cannot get a team ready for game day! All of the Vol fans are ready to get him out. He will never win no more than 8 to 9 a game and cant win the games he must win!

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
