They have some retarded arse decision makers then

I believe the sticking point the second time was that UT was paying exorbitant buyouts to Fulmer, Pearl, Dooley, Jones, and some administrators, to the tune of about $24 million. Thus, any incoming coach would have to retain some of the assistants already on-staff in order to stop the bleeding.

Cutcliffe was loyal to his guys and didn't want to leave them behind (and maybe didn't care for some of the existing staff), and Tennessee didn't want to pay any more buyouts.

Jones is nothing more than a pitch man. It's like having Billy Mays, God rest his soul, as head coach.

Butch Jones three keys to winning.

1. Friday Prep rally with cliche of the week.

2. Vol walk with a Neyland kneel every 150 feet.

3. Running through the T with zeal.

How did we get here with coaching salaries.... It's a child's game, how do they make 20 even 39 times what the president makes....

Butch Jones here and I have an offer you can't refuse!

Come to Tennessee and have an opportunity to be coached by the best staff in America and compete for championships!

Are you a mature competitor?

Do you have keen eye discipline?

Do you want to win on and off the field?


If not, you may be a legacy and you're coming to Tennessee anyways but I can screw you up.......I mean coach you up to.



*Unashamed Butch Jones melt

Yep, those Life Championships were important.




True...but UT doesn't even have many of them. They only have 1 life championship since 1980.
