Most exciting part of being a sports fan could be coming soon for VOLS fans.

Butch Jones- Jones is a native of Saugatuck, Mich., and prior to coming to Tennessee, he spent the majority of his career in the B1G footprint. Jones can recruit, is a dynamic offensive coach and his ties to the state mean that he understands what being the head football coach at Michigan is all about. Jones has UT on the upswing and just like Mark Dantonio and Brian Kelly before him, enjoyed a great run at Cincinnati prior to heading to a Power 5 conference. Two different college coaching sources said in their opinion, Jones would have strong interest in the position.

3 wins is on the upswing? That's like saying Bert has Arkansas on upswing, both are horrible.

Why would Jones leave after doing all the heavy lifting on Rocky Top.
He has a top roster coming back next year and is about to actually reap the benefits of all his hard work.
I seriously doubt he takes that job.
I also doubt Michigan would be able to sell him to a very disgruntled fan base if he finishes 6-6 or 5-7 this season at Tennessee.

Grumors were more fun than any VOLS season in the past 10 years.
Hope Butch packs it up.
My body is ready for a coaching search.

Will Tennessee fans attempt to burn down his mom's house if he leaves?

Nah they'll just peer in the windows and talk about all the fancy plates and rugs they see.

If Butch Jones jumps, Tennessee won't be relevant in the SEC for another 10 years.

UT will be dumb to let Butch get away. He's actually building UT into a very strong team. A lot of freshman gaining plenty of game experience will pay off next season and the seasons to follow. UT will contend for the east division in 2015 and win it in 2016 & 2017.

Don't fool yourself. Of course he would take the job if offered.
You're right though that it would be a tough sell on Michigan's end.

I agree with all of that except what's highlighted. I don't disagree with it either. It's simply too early to tell.

Agreed completely Butch Jones is doing a great job at Tennessee and it would just extend our rebuild another 5 years if he jumps ship.
Pay the man what he wants.

We have not been relevant in the past 10 years either but we have had tons of fun due to coaching searches.
Imo the most fun part of being a fan. We have been very fortunate the last 7-8 years to experience so many.

I do think Butch would do very well in the B1G tho...

Why do you think that?
He has never coached at Michigan ever. He has no ties directly to the school at all.
You think his great pal and mentor Rich Rodriquez would give him positive words about his time there?
He is in the SEC at a program just as traditionally relevant, with just as good of facilities and closer to where all the HS talent is than Michigan.
The only way he leaves IMO is if they Double his pay and Hart won't come close to matching it.

I am sure this is sarcasm but just in case it isn't, you my friend are an idiot.
