Behind the scenes article on Butch Jones Cultivating New Culture on Rocky Top

It is a Bleacher Report article so beware. A few teasers that kept me up most of the night after reading it. Chills:

tFear is palpable

"Looking back on it, I can say he was very specific about small things like being 15 minutes early to a meeting, having your notebook open, sitting up straight," said the senior defensive end/outside linebacker and the Vols' emotional leader.

"Guys at first were like, 'Come on now, we're going to do this in a meeting?'"

It was a massive change from the previous coaches. The current staff wants no time wasted on its watch.

Though none of the upperclassmen pointed a finger at the old regime, hearing them talk about how much improved the detail and organization are now versus then is fascinating.

Dooley cared about off-field details such as shower hygiene and helping start the Vol For Life program, but the elements of winning football games were nonexistent.

Jones spends countless hours critiquing himself and his team to find ways to do that. It's almost obsessive how each day—each minute—is accounted for.

When the schedule deviates, it's normally because they're striving to perfect something before moving on.

"When I go to bed at night, the last thing I do when I lay my head down on my pillow is I say, 'If I had the day to do over again, how would I do it differently? Did I get the most out of the day?' It's a constant evaluation process of yourself, your coaches, your players and your overall program. Leaders are driven that way, but they're also driven by doing things the right way.

But also I know the things we want that last over time take time. You don't fix six, seven, eight, nine years in one or two or three years. It's a course-of-time thing. Things that are built to last take time."

From the inside out, Tennessee is building for the long haul.
