Now that he has 25 games at Tennessee under his belt, what is the overall consensus regarding Butch Jones ability as a game planner, game day coach, talent developer, etc? Not recruiting, but actual on field coaching?

He's lost games he shouldn't have lost (Vandy '13, UF '14) and won games he shouldn't have won (USC '13, '14).

He's came close to beating a significantly, at the time, more talented team in UGA, both years.

He's had some blowouts (Oregon '13, Oklahoma '14, Ole Miss '14). These are just off the top of my head.

Overall, as of right now from what I've seen, I think he's an average in-game coach. But, he steadily will win 8-9 games a year because he's not awful and will have top 5-10 talent every year.

I would bet that he will win an SEC East championship while he's at Tennessee. That's not much to some of you, but it'd finally be nice to win something of significance, considering we haven't since '07.

Could he could win an SEC title and get into the CFB Playoff? Sure. Are the odds against him? Of course.

His in-game coaching is awful... He'll start winning more games bc of talent level, but when all things are equal he's mediocre.

Deboard was a snoozer hire that could backfire.
