I see this quote in the article and ask myself what the **** does Jones's first year have to do with the fact he lost to an inferior Florida in absolutely incompetent fashion in his 3rd year? And having observed this UT team all year, how can you not say Jones is "Muschamp"ing by failing to win 10 games this year? He perfectly isolates and identifies the problem with Muschamp that's equally applicable to Jones, but he just refuses or isn't capable of recognizing it. It's amazing.
