As many know, I was against him at the start. I didnt think he had the stones to do the job. If what I am hearing about him is true, I am 100% ready to eat crow.
I have been saying there was a reason Currie didnt give Butch that extension this past summer and when low was allowed access to the family Butchs wife knew exactly what a loss to UGA meant.
I think Butch knew it was a do or die year because Currie made it very clear. Currie helped fire the second most successful coach at Tennessee, he understands what losing to Vandy is all about and how unacceptable it is.
I know its been said Currie wants to keep Butch and that he was happy with the progress this summer blah, blah, blah. He was saying/ leaking all the right things while I think he has been behind the scenes working on coach Jones to be gone for a while.
Another opinion of mine is that if Currie really wanted to keep Jones, he would have gotten the man some help at his PCs. Its what I feel needed a lot of work because Jones comes across arrogant, and is a huge disconnect behind himself and the media and fans.
If you dont want to keep the guy you allow him to for a lack of a better term hang himself and thus it makes it easier to accomplish your goal of getting rid of Jones while pushing your agenda for changes to be made in order to land the right coach, or at least be able to sell them on the job.
