Butch Jones Is Reportedly Talking To Tennessee Commits After Getting Fired

Randy Sartin-USA TODAY Sports

Tennessee fired head coach Butch Jones on Sunday. Then word got out that he reportedly spoke to Vols’ 5-foot-9, 180-pound DB commit out of Orlando, Tanner Ingle. Per the Orlando Sentinel...

quote:
The ousted coach (Jones) called Ingle personally.

“I spoke with Coach Jones about 30 minutes ago,” the Orlando Dr. Phillips defensive back said about 12:30 Sunday afternoon. “He said he didn’t really expect that to happen, but it did so he told me to find a place to go, quickly … and that if he gets anything he will contact me.””

They fired him. He owes them nothing now.

lsu13lsu•97 months

He isn't completely unattached to the university. He has a buyout that could be impacted.

bigDgator•97 months

You mean he is doing what 99.9% of coaches do? Shocker

crewdepoo•97 months

Seems normal to me. Coaches pretend to be these players best friend for 2 years. I would hope they would call them

waiting4saturday•97 months

"He said he didn’t really expect that to happen". WOW, is butch really that blind?

Sid in Lakeshore•97 months

He had to cover for the lies he had been telling the recruits........

Tigers4Lyfe•97 months

It depends on when he said it. Remember Butch had some good seasons leading into this one.

tigahland•97 months

“He said he didnt really expect that to happen”... im gonna call BS on that one Butch

Tigers4Lyfe•97 months

Likely when is first started recruiting him it wasn't likely to happen.

SSpaniel•97 months

What's uncool about it?

Vols&Shaft83•97 months

If he had already been terminated, he's violated the terms of his buyout. Until he's employed by another school, he can't contact committed prospects. Orgeron did something similar, but he was already employed by USC at the time.

UTk will no longer be Champions of Life. That moniker will follow those wise recruits that follow Butch Jones to FIU where he will be a championship-caliber assistant coach.

InVolNerable•97 months

FIU has Butch Davis. 100x the coach Jones could ever hope to be.

RobbBobb•97 months

Well, what did Tenn. think would happen? Butch wont be singing their praises ever again

ShlikStyck•97 months

Any rule against that?

BamaRoo•97 months

Lyle's just handing out some sound advice.

mmtiger•97 months

contract evolution. after termination contact with recruits will now be addressed. in the past, a fired coach would be more composed because he would be looking for his next job and does not want a destructive reputation, imo.

justausedcarguy•97 months

He would of left anyway because he is a super smart kid...according to Larry’s article, he’s a Dr.

KennabraTiger•97 months

“Would of” lol

km•97 months

This team has quit on him. Guess he recruited the wrong people. "but he's 6'2" and runs a 4.6"

TT9•97 months

Orgeron called kids telling them not to go to class, when he and Kiffin left for USC.
