If Jones is hired it would be the biggest news shock of the year, possibly the last five years, including Trump. He has proven himself to be that bad.
So two 9-4 seasons mean nothing?? Charlie Strong never had a winning season at Texas and found a HC job.
Jones proved to be a good recruiter. His failure, IMO, is with the coaching staff. As he started to change the staff he ended up with a staff that was not in sync with each other.
Sometimes it is not about whether a coach is the "best" coach at a position, but whether the coaching staff as a whole is on the same page.
Jones was a slightly above average recruiter. Pruitt is showing what a good recruiter looks like.
Plus considering that first 9-4 season should of been at least an 11 win season with a chance at a championship, and the 2nd one fell way below expectations, yeah they shouldn't mean much. Both were let downs.
Report: Jones could get 'strong consideration' for Arizona job
Will this help the buyout?? If he takes it?:thud:
BS, we got turned down by higher coaches. You are the first I have ever seen make that claim.

Seriously? Last time I checked Tennessee was last maybe 13th in the SEC in recruiting right now. Yes that will more than likely get better with the later signing period. But at this point Pruitt is NOT looking like any better of a recruiter than Jones was. It is NOT the offers that count but the ones that sign.
There is also no way to tell how good or bad these recruits really are. That will not be known until this time next year.
And by your rationale the only coach in college football that would be consistent enough to be labeled as good is Saban. He is the only coach that has not lost a game he should have won in the past few years.

Know what? I hope he does exactly that. Why? Because the venom spewers on VN don't have the decency wish him well and let it go at that. Maybe he should stick a hunting knife up UT's azz and twist it about 30 times to promote profuse bleeding. Venomizers can't appreciate the 3 straight bowl years we got out of him. While his last year was detestable, the vipers among simply don't even know how to: "Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door."
I hope he gets a decent job and experience success there. We turned down some higher quality coaches (or so it's said) to hire him. So if the SEC was too big a stage for him, it's UT's fault for giving him the money.
