This is awesome! Have you guys heard of the new construction changes at Neyland Stadium that Cheek, Hart, and the BOT are planning with the new hire of Butch Jones? They are going to improve the view of the Tennessee River from certain points on campus by removing the upper deck at Neyland. There's no need for 100,000 plus seats anymore.

This hire is a joke. Listen, he's a solid coach, but can anyone honestly say they are excited for the spring game, that he will generate immediate excitement on the recruiting trail, that he will bring a buzz back to our program, that he will increase or unite our fanbase, and the answer is no!!! He is not a proven winner in a big time conference. The Big East is the laughing stock of the BCS, and we were dying to hire coach from there. He's beat 1 top 25 team. I'm sorry, but this hire should unite us, not divide us. It should excite us, not cause us to say common guys let's give him a chance!

I've always supported my university as a lifelong vol fan and alumni, but I've had it. This decision not only hurts our program, but it hurts the city of Knoxville economically. Knoxville had a buzz when I went to college here in the 90s. Game days were exciting. Now it's a beautiful place to live with great people and complete apathy for a once proud program among very proud fans.

One of the dumbest things I've read on here all day. I would use the BS post filter on VN but then these threads would only have about 3 replies each. How many top 25 teams did Dooley beat? We can only go up, and I think he'll bring a little more emotion to the sideline than Dooley did, not sure that he ever got out of that lawyer mode and over thought things. Butch Jones has won at every school he's coached, now he has access to the best facilities, best equipment and resources and he's recruiting kids to come play in the best conference in the country. I think he'll be fine.

You are correct sir.

I've seen so many people all over Butch Jones like he did something wrong.. I started reading OrangeDog's post and it just got the best of me before I finished.. I won't lie... I'm not crazy about the hire.. I would have liked to seen someone else hired. That being said, personally I'm happy for coach Jones and his family.. He was offered and accepted the offer of a lifetime..

My apologies to OrangeDog, you and anyone else my half cocked, dumba$$ comment may have offended..

Takes more guts than almost any who post on football boards have to make a mistake and then man up to it. :hi:

If you count year-end rankings... 1... Cincinnati.

But seriously, this hire isn't that bad, he has a huge upside and is a 180 from Dooley in many aspects.

I'm hearing reports that Butch is in North Ga tonight recuiting. Anybody know who he went to see?

There were rumors that he went to Vonn Bell's game tonight but Austin Price later reported that he was in fact in Knoxville working on compiling staff but had contacted some prospects(Jason Carr,Austin Sanders,etc.)

Apparently he did make a call to Vonn tonight though.. Unfortunately due to the incompetence of Dooley we are probably too late to this party.. SAD!!!

Is the OC that we expect to come with jones a Candidate for the UC head job??

Stripling(DL coach/Ass. Head Coach) was made the interim coach up there so one would think he would be most likely of all the assistants under Jones.. Don't know though..

O I hadn't seen that. If the above post is true it's probably for the best he stayed. Must be an incredibly busy time for him right now

Chizik has a 1-0 edge over Chip Kelly. Does that mean he's a better coach?

Sumlin is 1-0 against Saban. Does that mean he's a better coach?

They dont play year end and year out.(aTm first time in SEC )

That isnt fair.

And btw it should be 3/3....Butch had that game won until his QB made some bad bad bad plays.

And he also beat UCONN which Strong lost too.

You saying that Strong is better then Butch, tell me you dont know what the f*** your talking about.

saw it on the local news here at 11 they were saying that he went to N. GA to recuit. Was amazed but if true would be a great sign.

It's true, he went to Rossville, GA at Ridgeland HS to recruit Vonn Bell.

Stiff competition though, as Saban and Meyer were both rumored to be there as well (with UA and OSU his other two top teams besides UT).

We have foot in the door since Bell grew up in TN as a UT fan, but kids change their minds too often. Here's to hoping... :toast:

CBJ stayed in the office tonight calling recruits and it will be an uphill battle for Bell per Hubbs. Still a small chance but Dooley put us way behind.
