The article seems to me to be about "mental toughness" which the Vols..especially Bray..were a bit short of ..I don't think you have to be a prognosticator to figure that out..and I think mental toughness does come in part from the coaching..I haven't seen where anyone thought Dooley was capable of teaching mental toughness..Jones has his work cut out for him..let his work speak for itself..same as the opportunity given Dooley..all this stuff about how and why he came is garbage..he came for the money and a better job..same as most coaches do that get the chance..

Agreed. The article was about mental toughness. But is coming back in the Belk Bowl against perennial ACC power DUKE (6-7) the barometer for mental toughness that he brings to UT?

" I also remembered what I saw of Jones' previous team in a Belk Bowl victory over Duke.

Jones said the University of Cincinnati president texted him as the Bearcats fell behind 16-0.

"These kids will be fine," Jones responded. "They have been trained."
