Sorry, but a guy who killed someone while driving drunk does not sway me. Four years probation is all he got while the other family was devastated...

Everyone deserves another chance if they complete legal system requirements and has a past reputation of displaying good character.

Fixed your post. Your religion does not have a say in someone's second chances on legal matters. Unless the church decides to start paying taxes they should never even try to have a say in what happens within our justice system or any other form of our government.

He's been working on the roster for 4 years and it isn't enough to beat South Carolina and Vandy?

That tells us he isn't the right guy. Vandy has beaten Tennessee twice on for years with less talent. Why do you guys insist on keeping a coach like that?

He's gone soon. You better get used to that idea.

Could be a seven game stretch culminating with four tough games - the last two being the toughest didn't allow for scheduled maintenance, and fatigue caused from lack of depth and overuse broke some critical pieces.

Could be that with all the parts working again and a more reasonable schedule that next year won't go as badly as you might think. If that happens, Butch might be around a lot longer than you want.

Then again if some key parts like coaches are changed out, there could be some incompatibilities, and you might get your wish. Then you can move on to hating the next guy and complaining about how poor a choice the new AD made - knew he was the wrong guy, too.

Former players like Butch but anonymous sources don't?

Not all former players are happy with things going on in the program....and if they do say anything they get shouted down and told they're not "real" VFLs.

And to be clear, the ones I've heard be critical haven't said they don't like Jones himself, but rather they see internal issues with the program under Jones that they think need to be fixed.

I find it interesting that players like Little and Swain talk a lot about "letting Jones fix it".

Fix what exactly?

Fixing something implies that you had done something right before (or previously). But Jones really hasn't done much of anything except for "stabilizing" the program and two top 5 recruiting classes.

He is 29 and 21 to this point.

He dropped two games last year that should have been won and would have probably put the Vols in the top 10.

He dropped two games this which were even worse losses than last year's losses to Okl and Fla. Had he beaten S Car and Vandy like he should have Vols would have been in the top 10, they would have won the SEC East and would probably being playing the Sugar Bowl. If Jones would have beaten Vandy the Vols would be bowling in NOLA.

Another interesting fact - "Of 56 players UT signed in 2013 (24) and 2014 (32), 26 left before completing eligibility". I fully expect to see more transfers after the completion of this season.

So again I say what has Jones really done? He hasn't won anything of import save for this year's win over Fla. Giving a coach another year to "fix" things implies and presumes that coach has actually done, or more importantly, won something. Jones hasn't done much winning when it matters.

That said Jones isn't going anywhere unless he leaves on his own for another job to restart his clock.

Why not, the justice system and government have a say every day in the way our churches operate.
