I was kinda meh on Butch Jones. I thought he did a decent job, but he didn't win a depleted Big East. Kelly took the team two two BCS bowls, Butch didn't. Butch stuck with Munchie and really hurt his chances of winning the Big East. UC can do better than Butch but at the same time they could do worse. IMO Dantonio and Kelly were keepers, Butch not so much.

As for UT, thats one heck of a gig for Jones. You can win at UT, you can compete at UT, you have top notch facilities than places like UC, and even the Bengals can dream about. You have a fan base that will show up 100,000 strong each and every game. You have a team that doesn't have to worry about conference affiliation. I don't fault Butch one iota for taking the UT job, its much better than UC.
I agree. It might be unreasonable, but I'm disappointed that he couldn't win an outright BE championship this season. I truly believe that a better coach would have.
