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

Thanks. I'm on the same page completely, except I will admit I did like Dooley in the beginning.

On the topic of Saban, I think it is fair to say that he only won 1 conference championship (at Toledo) as head coach before heading to the SEC. Les Miles had absolutely zero championships as head coach (the highest he ever ranked in-conference prior to SEC was 3rd) before moving to the SEC, and the same goes for Mark Richt.

These folks who don't seem impressed with Butch Jones' body of work should really by unimpressed by today's SEC leaders. By the pre-SEC coaching metric, Jones is ahead of the curve by a mile with 4 conference championships.

I'll second your final words: GIVE 'EM HELL, COACH JONES!!
