The key to Jones' failure will be our success. Keep beating Tennessee and he'll be gone too, in short order.
Let's look at it this way. He has to beat, every year, Bama and Saban, Richt and Georgia, South Carolina and Spurrier and whatshisname down at Florida.
That's a damn tough row to hoe right there. And Tennessee fans will not be happy with 7-5 or 8-4 seasons, not ever.
So Jones is behind the eight ball right out of the chute. It's going to be very very tough for him to bring them back anytime soon.
Conversely, there is another angle to all of this and that is that UT fans are making a big deal out of so many of their current players having been recruited by Jones at Cincy - and how so many of their current players listed Cincy in their final Top Five. UT fans seem to think that is a good thing. Whereas, from an SEC outsider looking in at UT's program, we're more inclined to say, "No wonder UT's program is failing - hell, they've got a bunch of Cincy level athletes on that team, rather than SEC level athletes."

PS: One other thing UT fans seem to be forgetting, and that is; As sorry as Dooley was as a head coach, as big of a failure as Dooley was as a head coach, he did have one (1) win over a Top 25 team during his tenure at UT ... and that was against Jones and Cincy, in 2011 in Neyland, 45-23.
So what does that say about Jones? I dunno, Cincy did finish 10-3 that year with losses to UT, WVA and I think either Pitt or Rutgers. But the fact that he actually lost to that incompetent Dooley by such a large margin - it cannot be that good for Tennessee.
