Butch Jones bolts for Tennessee


This morning it was announced that Cincinnati head coach Butch Jones was offered, and now has accepted the head coaching job at the University of Tennessee. After being turned down by Charlie Strong, who Tennessee saw as it's main target they turned their attention to Jones and Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart. This morning they got their man in  Butch Jones.

Earlier this week Jones accepted the Colorado job, but the whole agreement was blown up when Colorado leaked the news before Jones had told his players. Colorado screwed themselves out of a new coach by leaking the news themselves instead of letting Jones announce himself. It was a done deal but after that slip up Jones said no to Colorado and now has pulled a Brian Kelly and bolted for a better landing spot.
