Kelly (as a CFB coach = instant credibility and relevancy...something we are seriously missing right now). Lets call a spade a spade, outside of Stoops at KY, Jones is probably the least feared SEC coach. I appreciate all he has done to right the ship. But CBJ aint going to make us elite. If I polled a random non-TN fan, on which SEC coach they'd least like face...I think Coach Jones would probably be behind even Derrick Mason. That is the current TN perception. To get that National Respect you got to earn it....and we were woefully short last season. I mean look at the Nebraska game, if they'd had any sort of halfway competent QB, that would have been a lot closer game. At this point, I would much rather have Gary Patterson or Troy Calhoun, heck maybe even Larry Fedora.

A lot of programs were interested in him.
Hopefully the new AD puts him on his short list

Big time recruits want to go to big time programs in the now. Butch had great recruiting success because we were on the up and up and could possibly make a move. This last season gave a whole lotta ammunition to other coaches to dissuade recruits from coming to Rocky Top. Jalen Hurd leaving was huge. Why on earth would the star running back that was virtually one of, if not the, face of the team decide to transfer mid season? How did Tennessee possibly lose to South Carolina and Vandy w/ all that talent? Recruits see that stuff. Red flags, alarms, whatever. Now that Butch has proven to make in game mistakes and no longer can fall back on recruiting, he better pray for a miracle season. And this is coming from a Butch Jones fan.

I think the injuries thing caught up to us against Vanderbilt, they surrendered a lot of yards two previous games because of this. South Carolina, more drama with Hurd than most realized. Hurd was a distraction and thought UT couldn't win without him. This comes from someone inside the program, not me, but someone inside that told me. So as good as he was, I'm glad he is gone. NO team is a team when some think it is all about them. I think this year's team will surprise a lot of people in a good way. GBO

Actually, no. As Tennessee fans, our exchange in this thread, has produced evidence of stupidity. I'm genuinely embarrassed I was part of it.

Dooley's had two 6th ranked classes (in the SEC) and one 5th ranked class. His worst star average according to Rivals was 3.37. Jones has now posted two 7th ranked classes in a row with the last one averaging 3.29 stars. The point isn't to defend Dooley at all... it is to point out that he failed while recruiting at the same or perhaps slightly better level than Jones has over the past two classes.

People point to 3* overachievers but every SEC program has those. No one has assembled enough of those overachievers on the same team to win a championship.

So what you are saying is Jones has recruited worse than Dooley but managed back to back 9 win seasons and 3 straight bowl wins. Wow I'm surprised, I never thought of you as a Jones defender.

How in hell do you think THAT touched a nerve. You're funny. It was a legitimate question that obviously you can't answer and tried to distract me with some grade school response.

Good grief.

It's all he's capable of. Don't let dummies put you on tilt.
