How does Butch Jones still have a job?
How does Butch Jones still have a job?
Yep. When we couldn't bring Campbell along with Beckman, I remember several people mentioning even then that this was going to bite us in the ***.
Man, I still look back at that Beckman hire with anger. Even at the time, I thought it was a terrible hire. Anyway......
Wow, that program is just sliding into uselessness.BREAKING Butch Jones is out as #Vols head coach, source tells me. He just informed his staff.

So should we conclude Mike Riley and Bielema willl get fired too? Sumlin? I don’t think we’ll see any other Big Ten jobs come open. I don’t think Frost leaves the state of Florida. Bielema to Nebraska?
Mike Riley is fired for sure. Scott Frost to Nebraska.
I think Bielema is probably gone, too, though he is very well-liked down there.
I think Sumlin will hang on if they can win at least one of their next two. Otherwise, a 6-6 finish puts him in danger.
Todd Graham at Arizona State is probably on the hot seat. He's on the verge of a third consecutive losing season.
Jim Mora Jr. is on thin ice at UCLA, too.
He was able to pull in some really good classes which helped cover up the fact that he isn't a good coach. Also they had a ton of injuries last year so some were willing to give him a semi-pass considering they still had a pretty decent year.
That said, he won't have a job very soon.
Lovie at #7 on that list? Lovies seat isn't that hot just yet. He's going to get the time he needs.
one has to wonder what Butch could have done in C-U if he had taken Mike Thomas' offer and come here. The Big 10 is a bit easier to compete in than the SEC. Expectations in Knoxville are winning the SEC East every 2-3 years and beating Alabama and Georgia with some type of regularity.
The Vols (like Florida and Nebraska) look outright BAD.
Bielema has to be the next high profile coach to go.

Can we poach some TN recruits
Lovie honestly probably gets as long as he says he wants. We don’t have any other good options. If he doesn’t get it turned around , the job is radioactive.

We dont? Chip Kelly would be dumb not taking the UoI job, if offered.
I think you are very much alone in beating the Chip Kelly drum.We dont? Chip Kelly would be dumb not taking the UoI job, if offered.
I think you are very much alone in beating the Chip Kelly drum.
If you look around other message boards, there are rumors swirling about Chip Kelly and the UoI job.
