The earliest a change could be made

No. Jones is going nowhere. He'll 100% be our coach this year and in 2018. Just the way it is.

Your absolutely right, Vol fans are stuck with Jones until the end of 2018 and possibly beyond....it is what it is, unfortunately:cray:

A win against UMass next week and the Vols will be 3-1. Lose to Georgia the following week then to South Carolina coming off the bye and Butch is in big trouble. A sure loss to Bama follows that game. Will Currie make a move if Tennessee is 3-3 going into Tuscaloosa?

nothing would happen before the last game at the earliest. I really doubt anything does take place but even if the wheels fall off, be week of last game. No earlier

Barring a scandal you do not make a coaching change in mid Season. Period
This teams back is against the wall against the dogs in two weeks

No and no and no. Nothing happens. I mean come on - does anyone really believe that would happen? Butch gets the year at least. Get used to it.

He does get the year, but shame on the AD's office if their search firm isn't starting to make a few calls to gauge interest.

Firing coaches mid season makes it harder to hire the next coach if you ask me. I'd say if there's a move made at least wait until the seasons over and have the next man lined up before hand.

Have any idea on what the pulse of another coaching search would be? By that I mean realistic candidates. Did Tee burn too many bridges by not taking the WR coaching job Butch's 1st season? Would the administration go after a name like Patterson?

Can we hire Dan Mullen?

don't have much feel what Curry's list may look like but don't expect UT to change a name. I would be surprised at them pursuing a P-5 conference coach.

be surprised if they pursued Dan..
