Please. Have you read anything about this man? Have you seen him speak? No, he doesn't have a southern drawl, or use near perfect grammar, or have poster-boy "republican" hair; but he came from nowhere (not now-here), speaks like my former high school math teacher/high school state-champion football head coach, and has a haircut as football coach-like as his moniker. The man exudes football coach. Everything I've seen and read about him tells me he's got the stuff, the guts, the character, the passion, and the wits of the quintessential football coach. Butch Jones was born for this. And heaven forbid a disgruntled fan like yourself would be willing to give this man who is literally building his empire your approval. Goodness knows he doesn't need yours, he got all the approval he needed from the man who gave him the pen to sign on that dotted line. Jones has earned this chance to live his dream (and part of that dream includes getting paid absurd money to do what he loves, jealous? Don't care...) and I for one am all-in. What are the alternatives? Whine until we get Gruden, who would be more likely than Kiffin was to jump ship for his dream (because I can tell you, coaching at ANY college is not his dream...)? Give up on Tennessee and cheer for Alabama? Georgia? Florida? Vanderbilt?! No thanks. I'm glad we have Butch, and I am excited to back a passionate man who wants to be here and wants to prove he's got the chops to shut people like you up; but far more importantly wants to prove to himself that he can cement his legacy as one of Tennessee's greats.

Great post, GreatDay. You have a lot of fans(?) on here that will never be happy until Fulmer comes back, ain't happening! Gruden comming to UT was a big joke. Ain't happening.
Will Butch Jones be the next Saban? Could be.
I like this guy & will support him until he gives us a reason not to. Will I agree with everytjing he does, I doubt it & nobody cares what I think anyway, but I will not bash the guy.
I did not care for Dooley from day one & let it be known. he's a loser of a coach & I never bought into the "nice guy" B.S.
Butch is a winner, will he take UT to the top of the heap? Who knows, but it WILL be fun to watch.
Just give the guy time, three or four weeks should be enough. ;-)
Give em heII, Butch
