He could have used this to get a pay raise from Temple and taken a much better job later.

Baylor is no better than any HC job in the American. Waco, TX is where sanity never settled.

Any job in a p5 conference is better than any job in the AAC.

Not true. Wake Forest is not a better job than Houston.

Agree. And I could name 10 or so more but I will start with Boston College.

That would suck to the ninth degree. However, MN seems like a coach that would be a better fit out West/West Coast.

Calkins and Parrish were talking about this potentially happening (Norvell to UT next year). I'd hate to see that happen.

Butch Jones landing Trey Smith yesterday may have salvaged another couple years, though.

Trey was his to lose. He gains little by landing him, but would have lost big if he missed him.

Hiring Trey's mom is an indication of how important it was to land him.

And Trey Smith may pan out and he may not but he will not change the downward spiral at UT unless they get 1-2 more like Trey. What did he hire her to do?

Well our previous coach (who sucked) left for BC, but I don't think it's a better job than Temple, Memphis, Houston, USF. There is basically zero talent in New England, and most of it that's any good ends up at schools like Michigan. While not Stanford level of extreme, I think their admissions requirements for football players are higher than they are at most schools. They really have to rely on Catholic kids from PA, NJ, IL, etc. not getting offered by Notre Dame.

I don't think he's on that hot of a seat. Dooley left Tennessee in bad shape and they were supposedly ravaged by injuries to close this season.

Many boosters are tired of Butch's act. He's talked a good game - they want to see him playing for an SEC championship. If he misses it next year, it's going to be hot.

I think for right now they would be happy with one of the 8 major bowls.

Wasn't his mom. It was his sister. Hired her in compliance. You can't make this stuff up.
