His contract says he is supposed to attempt to secure a position as Assistant Head Coach, Head Coach, or Athletics Director to get the buyout.
He would be a fantastic long-term head coach at some mid level school with none of the expectations Tennessee has.
I don't think he would be. His recruiting was meh before he got here and Tennessee recruits itself. His offense blows donkey nuts and his lying and narcissism would get him run after 3-5 years. imho
I was just saying that those things don't matter at a school that doesn't really care. Go 6-6 to 8-4 each year against mid level competition, don't embarrass the school publicly, etc. He'd fit in well somewhere like that IMO.
I don't see it. He was exposed here. He can't coach and he can't develop talent. Doesn't matter how well you recruit, if you can't coach you won't succeed. If he doesn't recruit well that won't work either because he can't develop anyone.
I think he'd be a pretty decent 3 year building coach at a suck ass power 5 or decent lower level 1a school, like he was at Cincy or CMU. Maybe we can put him on the bus to Hattiesburg when So Miss leaves town. I think that'd be perfect.
Jones can’t be anywhere, even a low level school, more than 3-4 years. He’s a lying fraud that can’t maintain the coverup longer than that.
It kinda works for a while, though, so long as you define "works" as building excitement and making things seem like they are getting better. The problem comes when it is time to actually coach football, and nobody wants to hear about momentum and enthusiasm, and he doesn't know how to coach football. That's when it's time to hand over the reins and get the hell out of Dodge.
I’m not sure how that plan moves forward from here, though. Hard enough to imagine him getting another HC. Then, in three years he’s going to get a new job based on accomplishments he basically imagined?
I think he'll find a place somewhere. Some AD is going to say he didn't get a fair deal, Tennessee didn't give him time, he has too high expectations going in. I mean, my dad still thinks we should keep him. I told my dad, you better not end up in an emergency room somewhere with a Dr asking me if we should pull the plug.
Forced my poor mother to watch the entirety of the game last week. She no longer argues he should be kept.
Would you have the pillow on your dad's face while the doc is asking you if you want to pull the plug?
