On SEC NOW he's said it for the 3rd year in a row, "Youngest team in the country" Hell I get I get, LSU was young last year, but damn, you cant use the same argument every year for 3 years?

When he figures out how to keep the majority of recruits in his recruiting classes longer than 1 year?

Until he gets fired

He is a below average coach who is a great recruiter. What he says in the media is pretty irrelevant imo.
Probably wins 7-8 games this year, signs another top 5 class and tries the same thing next year. Eventually the fans will figure out he can't coach but until then it's a pretty good strategy.
Either way the next guy will have a lot of talent which is all I care about.

It won't take much longer for UT fans to catch on to this horrible charade. He seems to get a pass because he's only been there 2 years. Truth is, Saban went to the SEC championship in year 2, Miles went in his first, Richt won the SEC in his second year.

Until they stop raping people off the field and sucking on the field. Just a guess.

Trolls or fricktards... I can't quite figure it out.

I support this thread.

Hate to tell you but we are young.

Yes, and all those situations are completely different. Knock the marbles out of the space where your brain is supposed to be

Well when you recruit entire teams every year it only stands to reason that they would be young

Jones seems to be Houston Nutt with organizational skills. He was dealt a poor hand, but my perception is he's not good at managing people (plays favorites) and tactics. Here's why.
1) He's botched the QB rotation in his first game against WKU.This led to problems the rest of the year.
2) He wasn't going to beat Oregon, but trying to run hurry-up was the epitome of dumb, especially with an NFL line.
3) When your OL is your strength, play to it. He didn't that season, and put games on our weak spot:QB.
4) His QB management cost us both UF games.
That's a lot of major goofs in two years. I'll argue Dooley and Kiffin had better first years.
That having been said, Jones could win like Jim Donnan, which is an improvement. I'm pulling for the guy.With good assistants, he could do well.Those guys make or break things.

Isn't that a registered trademark already?

Saban took over a worse situation than Butch. Bama had zero players drafted after his first year. He literally had nothing to work with outside if Andre Smith, Javy Arenas and Rashad Johnson. But Saban still found a way to get Bama to win big by his second year.

Year 3. Put up or shut up time, pretty simple.
Posted on 4/25/15 at 8:01 am to Bench McElroy
No doubt about it.

That's not even close to true.

Another year where the Vols finish with between 6-8 wins and we will hear about how "next year" will be their year. 
Vols fans will be focused on recruiting rankings again by early October as usual.
