Right now, Jones is the Sumlin of the East. Got a huge raise, without doing a ton. Both coaches are bringing in great recruiting classes, and unfortunately for both schools were hot names for other jobs. I understand you have to pay to prevent the coach from leaving, but raising a coach who hasn't finished a regular season better than .500 at UT is not something I would do if I could help it at all.

After Mullen gets a raise this offseason, which I am sure he will, Butch will still be in the bottom 1/4th in SEC compensation...we have to stay competitive within the market or Butch could get disgruntled and we could find ourselves in a bidding war with Michigan if their search ever had zeroed in on Butch.
