Did Nick Saban have connections in the SEC when he was hired away from Michigan State? Urban Meyer away from Utah? The "HAT" is a Michigan Man? Surround Jones with a good staff and think he can't win at UT? I believe he will do alright...

You realize you just compared butch fricking jones to two of the best, if not the two best, college head coaches today? Plus "the hat" had spent several years at Okie State - so referring to him as a "Michigan Man" for this discussion is being intellectually dishonest.

Saban and Meyer didn't need "Southeastern Connections" because their programs were located inside two of the most talent-rich states in the entire country.

Nick Saban had marquee wins at Michigan State. As well as a turnaround at Toledo (he didn't inherit a winner). As well as several years in the NFL as DB coach and defensive coordinator. Don't compare Butch Jones to him.

Butch Jones will be in over his head from day 1 and won't be given the opportunity to fix it unless he beats some big dogs in year one.

Have the normal rebuilding/trasitional year in 2013 and it'll be over before it starts.


UT thanks for keeping our big 6 chair warm for a few months, we'll be taking that back now.

well, saban hired guys with southeast connections. He hired Pete Jenkins, ex lsu and au guy, Jimbo coached at Au, Muschamp was from Georgia, dick tricket was from the southeast, mike hayward had coached at lsu and texas, lance thompson had s.e. connections as well.
