re: Hypothetical: Would you rather McElwain or Butch as your school's coach?

Jones - He's proven he can rebuild from a hiroshima sized dumpster fire, take a bunch of true freshmen and make a bowl despite having the worst OL in football, a completely new OL and DL, and get better each year. His recruiting is stellar. He brings a lot of positive and creative energy to a program that needed it badly after the Kiff-Dooley years. His teams have been better every year despite the end results. Here's a hard example of that: going by memory the 2013 year defense was ranked in the 60s but in 2014 it was top 30 or so. However, that's happened all over the field.

The wins will come but so far he's had to put out the thermonuclear bomb that went off in Knoxville and clean up hasn't been easy. We are almost there tho. And so far he's done everything else right.
