Top candidate. Money will bring him here. CBJ and Co vetted him a couple of weeks ago and mutual interests was there. Reason he turned down Lsu and Aubbie both. This coaching search should be over rather swiftly imo

He turned LSU and Auburn down LAST year. Not last week.

You know what this tells me? Tells me that Butch learned some valuable lessons this season and is willing to go against his nature in order to WIN.

I know that this has been rumored, but holy sheet. I have mixed feelings that likely will not be resolved until I see how our defense plays next Fall.

I am guessing Martinez to DC and Terry Fair coach DBs. Get a new quality control guy.

There is no way in hell they promote the guy that got suspended for recruiting violations the day before one of the most important games of the season.

In an unrelated note, also announced that next years's third down song will be 'Shoop' by Salt-n-Pepa

@midday180 tweeted Butch Jones has fired DC John Jancek. We will have the latest with Coach Doug Mathews next on @1045TheZone .

Wow, I can understand if he was leaving, but I will be surprised if he was fired! Thanks Coach Jancek for taking one of the worst Tennessee defenses of all time and making them top 20!

I'm sorry but why would you want Bob Shoop? Him having the 15th rated defense this year is like saying Northwestern was ranked number 12/13.

He just proved he has no idea how to stop a SEC team (see bowl game)

UGA didn't put on an offensive fireworks show vs PSU and PSU doesn't have the talent to work with that he would have here.

Per the UT Presser:

"John and I had a long discussion this morning and we both came to the conclusion that it was best to part ways"

This is coach speak for Jancik was fired. Kind of surprising to see this happen given the history between BJ and JJ. Wish JJ the best of luck!!!

He did it on purpose. Duh! He's clearly a VFL.

Gotta say I'm surprised. Was the defense really that bad this year? I thought it was pretty good.

Salt and Peppa think he would be a great hire.

On 104.5 The Zone, former coach Doug Mathews said that Butch and Jancek have been butting heads ("not in a bad way") for half the season or more, and the talk about Jancek leaving started back then. He believes it really is a mutual decision. He thinks the relatively low UT coordinator pay (about $500K plus bonuses) is possibly a factor.

As for having someone in mind, Mathews said he's pretty sure Butch wouldn't have pulled this trigger without having a pretty good idea who he's going to bring in. That Butch almost certainly has someone in mind, even if he maybe hasn't told anybody else.

Hehe, Mathews also said that no one is returning phone calls to him right now; lips are temporarily sealed on Rocky Top.

On Shoops, he said "he's certainly someone that Butch is aware of; on the other hand, he turned down an LSU job that was paying a lot more than Tennessee would." Says Vols would have to get into the $1M range to have a shot at Shoops. He seemed to be hinting the radio guys away from thinking in the Shoops direction.


p.s. Mathews does not think money's really a key issue. He thinks the AD will pony up for whoever Butch has in mind; just isn't sure that Butch believes he needs much more than the $500K-$600K already being spent on coordinators.

p.p.s. Mathews noted that the National Coaching Convention is next week, and that both Tennessee's new DC and Jancek's new home will be decided during that event, if not before. So within a week or so, we should know.

I know this. I am saying this is been coming for awhile.I for one think it will be a huge upgrade. Would you agree with that?

You think Shoop turned down LSU in 2014 because he knew Janceck would be fired after the 2015 season? It would be an upgrade but I don't think it's been in the works for than a week or two. The situations weren't/aren't stable at LSU and AU and I think that's why he had no interest in going to either one.
