On the radio this morning. Mickey Dearstone was saying that Jones was here for at least another year and Heather said
"He won't be fired, but I don't know if he'll be our coach next year".
Mickey asks
"Are you saying you think he'll take another job?"
She replied
"I've already said more than I should, I'm just not sure he's gonna be our coach next year, that's all I'm gonna say."
Ray of hope?

I said a couple of weeks ago my opinion would change if we lost to Vandy or Mizzou.
I hope he is gone and the sooner the better.
This is another lost season for us.

Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart will retire next summer
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart will retire next summer after a tumultuous tenure that included consolidation of the men's and women's athletic departments, improvements in facilities and the settlement of a Title IX lawsuit.
Hart's announcement comes less than two months after Tennessee reached a $2.48 million settlement in a Title IX lawsuit regarding its handling of assault complaints against athletes and three months after chancellor Jimmy Cheek said he also was stepping down to return to teaching.
"As I thought about finishing this job well and how extremely proud I am of what everyone in our department has contributed collectively to get us to where we are today, I decided that this was a good time to set a target to wrap up my career as a Director of Athletics," Hart, 67, said Thursday in a university statement.
He said the school would choose a new chancellor soon, and "this decision will allow that individual to select his or her own person to this leadership role and allow me to lead us through what promises to be a very exciting upcoming year in many respects."
Hart's tenure at Tennessee began in September 2011 and featured major increases in fundraising, improvements in academic performance and several lawsuits.
Under Hart's guidance, and with help from the launch of the SEC Network, Tennessee's athletic department posted a surplus of $13.1 million in 2014-15 after facing a deficit of $3.98 million in 2011-12. Tennessee student-athletes overall have posted grade point averages of 3.0 or better for five consecutive semesters.
"Dave has worked with our coaches to make us nationally competitive," Cheek said in a statement. "He has focused on compliance and doing things the right way in the class room and on the field. His work and determination have put UT sports in a strong position for the future."
Hart's notable coaching hires had mixed results. Butch Jones has stabilized the football program and women's basketball coach Holly Warlick has reached three regional finals in four years since taking over for Pat Summitt, who stepped down in 2012 after winning eight national titles.

Will Hart step up to the plate and kick the winning field goal?
The whole thing may be allowed to slide for -- too fricking long.

Hopefully David Blackburn cleans house and offers the moon to a big fish.

I don't believe this for various reasons, main one being I don't think a school of any importance would want to go through the trouble of poaching Botch this year
Honestly it's probably a good thing, lots of big schools looking for coaches this cycle.......Oregon/Texas/etc.......would probably be better off coach hunting next year
