I dunno, hope I am wrong, but ...... the vibe that I get from everything that has gone down over the last few years is that CBJ has been pretty much guaranteed 4 years, and once he gets to a bowl the UT admin will consider him a keeper long term.
An awful lot of fans, maybe the majority, would be perfectly happy with CBJ simply being "better than Dooley" and that ain't much.
As long as coach Jones is recruiting and uniting the fanbase as he is, it buys him added time. With the way recruiting has gone, 3-4 years in it's likeness will allow coach Jones and staff at least 6 wins. The factor that exacerbates Tennessee's football decline is the fact that the SEC is the strongest its ever been. Scheduling OOC games with teams like Oregon and Oklahoma are the main reasons we havent made it to a bowl game. We've done it to ourselves.
