Dave Hart will never fire willingly fire him. That's a problem. But that being said, if Tennessee loses to Florida, the goodwill he gained from beating a mediocre Georgia team will completely evaporate. Especially if Georgia beats us this time around.

I'd say a competent athletic director fires him if he loses 3 of 4 during the Florida, Georgia, A&M, Bama stretch. But Hart will not unless forced.






I'm not a Hart fan, but Dave Hart has a financial responsibility to the University to not pay ridiculous buyouts unless it's absolutely necessary. Whether you like Jones or not, surely you agree that firing him without cause would be catastrophic at this point.

The buyout isn't that ridiculous. It could have been a lot worse if there was actually demand for Butch. You don't actually think we are going wait around three years for the buyout to drop, do you? In the end, what must be done inevitably should always be done immediately.

Was Hart the one that gave Jones the ridiculous buyout in his contract, or someone else?
