They would if the right people are making the decisions. That's what I have no confidence in after what happened the last time.
http://m.bleacherreport.com/article...coach-of-the-tennessee-volunteers-a-dream-job The praise for Botch is a bit disconcerting but whatever... If he really means it I feel very confident he'll have an opportunity to back up his comments.... Soon.
Gruden plus the talent on the offensive side would be fun to watch. I guarandamnteeyou he wouldn't let our 5 star WR's only average a catch a game.
He's not going to bad mouth him, Gruden genuinely loves Tennessee. Now, I'm not saying he'll be the next coach, but he does have a soft spot for Knoxville
If Gruden were here in 2016, with the talent returning, Tennessee would be the hot pick for the Final 4. Hurd and Kamara out of a power set and Dormady hitting wide open 5* off play action......
Sadly, all Jones needed to do was make 2 good hires. Hire a good OC and a good DC. Let them fill out the rest. Then he could do what he does best, in recruiting, spitting cliches, and running the hype machine. Land the Jimmy and Joe's and stay the hell out of the X's and O's. Put on your headset, look engage, and occasionally pump your fist or yell at someone. He would have a better record.
Les also has a set of brass balls. He's not scared to call mind boggling dumb plays and then take the blame when they don't work
$2M per year remaining (less future earnings), and it runs through February 28, 2021. The three year corrupt bargain-leveraged extension effectively added $6M to Butch's buyouts at a time when he had proven exactly shit.

I always found it funny how on the Eve of that Black Friday morning when Lyle Jones was hired, Jon Gruden was "tending to personal matters" during the MNF preview that used to appear on halftime of Thursday Night College Football on ESPN. To my knowledge, that's the only time he missed a scheduled appearance. I'm sure it had nothing to do with getting stabbed by Discount Dave Hart.
