Coaches who lasted cause of 1 Player

Came across some discussion and facts on a Tennessee page. Butch Jones, in my opinion, is the worst coach in TN history. The only reason he made it 5 years at Tennessee was that he happened to stumble into a man named Josh Dobbs. Without Dobbs, Jones would be by far the worst coach in Vols history and would have lasted only 2 years. Here is the info from the TN page:

Nope, Jones was the worst. He literally went 4-8 in year 5, the worst year in the history of Tennessee athletics, possibly ever. At least Dooley and Pruitt never went 0-8 in conference. Jones got so lucky that he found lightning in a bottle with Josh Dobbs, because without Dobbs, Jones probably would have been fired in Year 2. Jones literally won 11 games over 5 years without Joshua Dobbs as his starting QB. That's a (.180) winning percentage without Dobbs. It gets worse. Without Dobbs, Jones only won 1 SEC game in 5 seasons. 13 of Jones's 14 SEC victories came with Josh Dobbs at QB. That means Jones's SEC winning percentage was (.042) without Dobbs under center.

Jones also had the worst home loss ever in TN football history in 2017 against UGA, 41-0. He also recruited Jarrett Guarantano to Tennessee and did not recruit Trevor Lawrence. Butch Jones made us a laughing stock and gave us the worst season and losses in TN history. There has never been a worse coach in TN history.

I remember feeling like Dobbs saved us some games, but I did not realize how much Dobbs bailed Jones out. Butch Jones should donate a percentage of his salary to Joshua Dobbs every year for the rest of his life.

Fuuck you Lyle "Butch" Jones
