Feature on Butch Jones as a recruiter

Another great read on CBJ. I see a trend here. We got the best coach available. We may have gotten the best coach not named Saban, period.

“They say that you’re always friends with the people that you come in with, and what we’re trying to do is build a brotherhood,” Wharton said. “The people we’re bringing in are not just good football players, they also have great character. That’s something we want at Tennessee. Not just great football players, but someone who respects Tennessee and feels honored to be at the University of Tennessee.”

"After all, Jones is a man who builds things. He stacked bricks at Central Michigan. He stacked bricks at Cincinnati, and now he’s stacking bricks at Tennessee.

However, now that he’s at a job that he has very clearly labeled as his “destination” job, it won’t be building something that defines Butch Jones.

It’ll be finishing something. You can only stack bricks so high before it’s time to put a roof on them and call it home."

Props to the author, way to finish an article strong imo...

Great article, especially liked this from Vic Wharton:

“We will end up being the No. 1 class. Everyone says that National Signing Day is far away and whatnot, but the thing is, we don’t ‘preach come to our school because our team’s gonna win a lot of games this year.’ We’re telling people if you come to our school you get to play with us, and WE’LL bring a national championship,” he said. “We don’t really care—I mean if Coach Jones goes ahead and wins six games, that will help—and if he wins two or three games, our entire class will still come to Tennessee. It doesn’t matter.”

Being nice to someone, being respectful isn't a quality to be a great coach. It's a standard of being a decent person. Derek Dooley isn't a decent person.

Great article. Don't know about you guys, but I'm FIRED THE EFF UP! I have a feeling Butch is going to be our coach for a long time. It's going to be fun rising to the top and I'm going to enjoy every last second of the ride. Not taking anything for granted this time around. :rock:
