Title: Kirby Smart and Butch Jones Top List for Tennessee Job Post by: Catch Prothro on December 06, 2012, 09:32:02 PM Quote TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A few weeks after Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said landing someone with head coaching experience would be "critically important," Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart's name appears to be gaining momentum. Multiple reports on Thursday included Smart in a revised pool of Tennessee candidates that has emerged in the wake of rejected overtures to Louisville's Charlie Strong and Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy. GoVols247.com, SB Nation and VolQuest.com all reported that the search is focused on Smart and Cincinnati coach Butch Jones. GoVols247.com reported that Jones was the front-runner for the job, but the focus would shift to Smart if Jones turned it down. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2012/12/multiple_reports_include_alaba.html Title: Re: Kirby Smart and Butch Jones Top List for Tennessee Job Post by: Bamaphile on December 07, 2012, 06:33:18 AM ESPN is now reporting that Butch Jones has been hired by Tennessee.

He will be a good coach with class players and he will win if they stay off him. JMHO. RTR!

Cinncy, Kent St., etc. Title: Re: Kirby Smart and Butch Jones Top List for Tennessee Job Post by: SUPERCOACH on December 07, 2012, 01:55:46 PM Southern Miss would be a good place for him to start out if their job is still open.
