    Lets say this CBJ thing doesn't work out for whatever reason. Do you think there is a legit chance in 3-4 years that we could end up with Chip Kelly?

    At the very least I think Jones is here 3-4 years either way. But no, I doubt it.

    Here are the only ways in which Butch Jones will not be coaching at Tennessee in 5 years:

    1. A wholesale change in UTAD (and likely UT/K) leadership, including the most prominent booster....AND the new regime will have to be completely dissatisfied with Jones and/or have their own hand-picked guy in the wings.

    2. Three consecutive losing seasons.

    3. Major NCAA violations, likely those which implicated him or a large portion of his staff, directly.

    4. He leaves to take another job.

    5. He dies.

    6. Tennessee ends its football program.

    7. A meteor strikes the earth and renders all of humanity extinct.

    8. Rapture occurs, and Jones is taken to heaven. If he remains, and we have 22 players and the ESPN checks still cash, he's still the coach, heathen or not.

    That's it. For five years. Just settle in.

    And IF someone were going to try and land Chip Kelley.....they should be talking to him NOW.

    And some may be doing just that. And it's certainly not Tennessee.

    Nor is it likely to ever be.

    Tennessee is too cheap to get Chip Kelly even if the timing aligned just right.

    Just look at recent hires in basketball and football. They come back with Bruce Pearl and Cuonzo Martin, both budget hires at the time. In football they could have offered Charlie Strong enough money so that he couldn't say no but instead ****ed that up because they didn't want to interfere with Fulmer's HOF induction and end up with their 89th choice.

    Was this said most prominent booster 100% behind this move to begin with?

    You'd have to ask someone who knows. I'm through with making any prognostication which has the current UTK/UTAD as necessary elements.

    Nothing would surprise me. Literally and absolutely nothing.

    I like how "he dies" barely even cracks the top 5 reasons.

    I hesitated to include it at all, simply because someone will use it as a means to accuse me / the site of having wished for his death, either here or elsewhere.

    Nonetheless, its validity caused me to include it.

    I thought I just did?

    Nope. We didn't hire Gruden.

    Clearly, I know nothing about the goings on, on The Hill.

    Have a Gruden.

    We're talking about an administration that refused to accommodate Jon Gruden. I don't see any reason to ever get my hopes up for another proven hire as long as they're in power.

    I still shake my head in disappointment over the Gruden situation.

    For some reason, the sheer absurdity of what we did here just hit me in addition to the absurdity that happened before it. I guess I was still in shock/anger about what had transpired up to that point in time that I never really let this sink in.

    I can't watch MNF without going into a rant that would make a Tourette's patient blush from embarrassment.

    I sigh and near the point of nears, every game. The first game the cute blonde looked at me and said "****ing get over it". It didn't help.

    My cute blonde makes my rants seem tame. No joke.
