I’m starting to think Knoxville just might like this Butch Jones fella.
Jones, in his second season as the Vols’ head coach, has changed UT’s culture in way that no one could have imagined.
And he’s done it with a program that was in complete shambles when he arrived.
He hasn’t had the success totally translate on the field just yet (though he’s done a remarkable job so far), but Tennessee (and its fans) knows what’s coming.
So it seems appropriate to recognize that, right?
Of course it does.
And that’s what the Vols did this week. If you take a cruise down Neyland Drive, you’ll now see Butch Jones (along with Robert Neyland and Reggie White) staring at you.

Jones has done an amazing job in all facets of the job so far. This is certainly a deserved gesture.
