Sumlin is biggest fraud, followed closely by Butch Jones.

Fraud is a bit much. Jones has only failed to meet expectations one season. What he is is a goofball who is about as tone deaf as you can be when it comes to talking to the press/fans. That matters when you have a disappointing season like last year (fans will hate you for it) but is overlooked as the usual coachspeak when you win. He's done a great job rebuilding but the question is whether or not he's plateaued as a coach and if he has it's time to go.

We'll know soon enough if he's gone as far as he can (certainly there's a good argument to made that he has) but regardless of what happens we're finally in a position to compete again. And unlike in prior years, the job will be much more attractive. I can't/won't hate the man for bringing us back from the dead even if that's all he ever does and is fired as a result.
