Felt this deserved it's own thread. Imagine you are an AD and butch jones walked into your interview and showed you his "championship" ring. I think I'd pass out from laughing.
I have no idea who Thomas Mahoney is or if he's credible but it's butch jones we're talking about so I say it's definitely plausible. And holllleeeee shit if it is true.
Even more astonishing, after writing this, it still took about 30 minutes before I realized there probably isn't a ring for the Battle at Bristol despite accepting this as a matter of fact truth until then.
According to a CSU reporter, the school backed off because they were concerned about some baggage that Butch had as well as some Title IX concerns.
I'm guessing everyone with a Tennessee-CSU connection told them to flee from this hire. I know everyone with a CU-CSU connection did. Bank on it.
Uderstandably. Butch Jones headlined and won the biggest football game in the history of the sport. An achievement any coach would be proud of. Them’s just the facts.
