12/8 Press Conference - Contract Extension / Bowl Prep

[gobraves101035]

So how much of a raise did he actually get?

 

[omghulkhands]

Is his buyout guaranteed through 2020?

If so, it makes it impossible for another school to hire him. Also makes it about impossible to fire him too.

Thought that tweet said resigns. Liked to have shi!.

 

[Wilson27]

Wow, with that raise he should be able to contract someone out to finally finish that mailbox.

 

[trion23]

Wow, looks like about a 20% raise and a two-year contract extension.

I'm a Butch Jones fan, and I think he's done a good job at UT (including a fantastic job recruiting), but I hope he ends up being a GREAT coach, because that's what Dave Hart's betting on!

Go Vols!!! :rock:

PS We REALLY need to win this bowl!

 

[millst987]

Hart is killing it at UT. Good solid raise for a great coach in Butch. Now, let's stop the Michigan talk and focus on beating a sound Iowa team. We need this win for momentum into spring practice.

 

[joevol33]

Dang I didn't see this and posted it. Sorry

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Should make him 6th highest salary in SEC correct?

Yes

 

[Nashvol2]

Butch looked like he had been in a car wreck this morning or a bad rosacea break out. Looks like he partied hard after the announcement yesterday.

FYI, You know that article was written two years ago after Jones was originally hired...right?

It's dated December 10, 2012.

 

[BruiserVol]

How can I watch this? Forgive the stupid question.

 

[KokoBVol]

What is the story with Joe Henderson? He mentioned in the Presser Joe was being sorted out. Any indication what other players are on the chopping block for Transfering? And please don't start with Malone and Pete they aren't going anywhere...

NCAA flagged his ACT score. He apparently didn't score high enough on his retest or something. He won't be back.

 

[VolNExile]

How can I watch this? Forgive the stupid question.

Go to UTSports.com. and it should be the first thing that comes up. I watched it on my phone, as I took Flash off my laptop, so I don't have the link handy.

 

[GAVol]

Thought that tweet said resigns. Liked to have shi!.

:lol: it does kind of suck that they're spelled the same way.

 

[Volstate]

What the heck is going on with Butch's face? He got some kind of skin condition?

 

[DownTheField]

Hart didn't address the make-up personnel. Hopefully they were fired and we're bringing in someone who make our coach not look like Mickey Rourke.

Did Butch Jones receive wind burn?

 

[gobraves101035]

Michigan AD punched him in the face when he told them he was ALL VOL

 

[vavolunteer]

Please accept my compliments and congratulations on the correct spelling of receive.

However, I question whether one would "receive" windburn. I'm thinking possibly one would "suffer" windburn.

Thoughts?

 

[joevol33]

I before E, except after C.

Did Butch Jones receive wind burn?

Impossible, Butch burned the wind first.

More like the Michigan AD was holding his hand out for a fist bump and Butch head butted his hand.
