re: Butch Jones Most Followed Coach On Twitter

almost everyone drooled over Kiffin. The only detractors were the gray hairs still in love with Fulmer. He definitely sold his worth hard, and UT fans ate it up until he spawned everyone for USC. Take this from someone who, believe it or not, is a UT grad and had to listen to the Kiffin talk daily.

Different experiences, I suppose. I'm a double alum. Hell, the supposed 'riot' was no riot at all but quite comical and festive from the ground floor.

I don't doubt there were those more obsessed with Kiffin than Jones and even more hardcore about it. My point of contention is that Jones enjoys a far larger base of support than Kiffin ever did and is liked by far more people than Kiffin was in his time here.
