Anybody else think the UT hire was a sideways move?

Jones was average at best in the Big East and I don't think he'll fare much better in the SEC. They probably would have been better off sticking with Dooley IMO. I could be wrong though. He might be the next Saban....

Nah, they should have hired Butch Davis. He would of put together a top notch staff and recruited the shite out of the southeast. And he would've brought a defense back to them.

How do you define average?

Dooley had utterly lost this team, and the defense was a damn high school musical. Just mention that to say that Jones (in the short run) is a default step up-not a Strong or Patterson step up, but not lateral imo.

I think average at best describes Les Miles in the Big 12. finished 5th,4th,3rd,5th in the conference in his 4 years. never came close to winning a Big 12 title.


- 2011, 2012 back-to-back Big East Coach of the year
- 2011, 2012 back-to-back Big East conference titles
- 2-1 against Charlie Strong
- won 4 conference titles in 6 years. 1 last minute play away from winning 5 conference titles in 6 years
- #1 scoring offense and #1 scoring defense in the Big East this year. 12th in the nation in scoring D

He may not be the next Saban, but I believe it was a solid hire by Tenny. I actually think that in about 3 years, Tenny will be back in the SEC championship game on the East side. I think after all they had been through , a good hire. Much better than Dooley imo.
