Vols1891 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I was just curious...a lot of us college football fans always see the grass as greener on the other side and want the coach gone whenever a season doesn't go the way we want it. So my question is, would you be willing to switch coaches with Tennessee (we take Riley and you take Butch Jones). From my perspective as a Tennessee fan, I would say yes I would rather have Riley and his staff over Butch and his staff. Riley in my opinion would recruit just as well if not better than Jones if he was in the South, and I think while he isn't necessarily elite, he's much better than Butch at developing players and game planning. Most of us Tennessee fans are starting to look at Butch as somewhat of an embarrassment, so I guess I'm just wondering if he's viewed as negatively outside of Tennessee and the SEC. 1 Quote Link to comment
jassman24 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I would stay with Riley 100%. Quote Link to comment
TAKODA Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I am not sure that there are many people around these parts that know enough about the current situation in Tennessee to be able to give you a fair opinion on Butch and the job he is doing down in the SEC. I would not trade MR for Butch, but I am sure there are some posters here on HB that would disagree. Heck, some here would trade MR back for Bo P. Go figure! 1 Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I am not a Butch Jones fan. You can keep him. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I have severe question marks about Riley's coaching ability, but I am not a Butch Jones fan. That guy seems to get a nothing out of a lot of talent. Good recruiter, terrible developer and game day coach. 2 Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'd keep Riley, Â And I feel bad for Tennessee having Jones. I hate the SEC but I don't mind Tennessee at all, I would enjoy you guys getting a great coach and knocking off Bama Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Pass on Butch, seems like he has a Bo type ceiling. Quote Link to comment
alwayshusking Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Riley's a better coach, just doesn't have much talent at the moment. Jones has a loaded roster, to his credit he loaded it up, but still can't win with it. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm perfectly fine with the guy we have....thanks. Quote Link to comment

Jones has a loaded roster, to his credit he loaded it up, but still can't win with it. Yeah I agree. I think if you had our roster, Riley would have gone 11-1 with a relatively close loss to OSU. But recruiting will fall off for us now after this season. We have probably peaked with Jones, while you guys are on the way up. After going to a Nebraska game this year and having such a good time, I definitely root for you guys. To be honest, if we were to play you in a bowl this year, I wouldn't mind losing, as it will maybe speed up the process of us getting a new coach. Quote Link to comment

Sadie Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 No thanks, when we hire our next coach, he better be an elite coach Quote Link to comment
