Kiffin going to USC was not silly and I would have told you the same back then. He is a West Coast guy and was not well liked by the UT administration or boosters. No one foresaw the debacle that was Dooley coming but most knew that if USC offered, Kiffin was gone. There was no loved lost there, just poor timing. CBJ is well liked on the hill and UT knows that it cannot afford another coaching search. Unless UM offers some crazy sum of money, UT will be able to match it.
That is wrong. Ole Miss wanted him to replace a bunch of his staff and he said no. That's why he was fired.
Dollar General with $15B in annual revenue? Sure, I'll take that gig, thanks!
Ok, other than what I see as your rush to judgement about Jones, we can agree. If he stays around, we will get there in a couple of years or so.
I liked the banworthy post, so lump me in with docholiday.
You don't have to believe that Jones is a championship-quality coach to think that him leaving right now would be a disaster. Another year or two then sure, whatever. But if he leaves now and the 2015 class falls apart then we're starting over almost from square one, maybe square 1.5, with two more years wasted. We can't afford another round of coaching-change roster attrition yet.
I don't think it's going to happen, but it seems crazy that any UT fans would be actively rooting for it.
