Well, I was told my insight was useless since I'm a Gator fan... 
Only time will tell and it really doesn't matter what we think or what we say. No one knows if Jones will work out, not even Jones knows...... Did I mention he had a better record than Saban....

Time will tell. Could be a diamond in the rough. I like his style though.

I'm warming up to him. I think he may work out. He needs a really good Defensive Coordinator. I hope he gets Tee Martin. He needs to get a good quarterback. We need a Kicking coach bad. Our kicking game has been bad for a while now. Tennessee has a long history of great kicking, going back to George Cafego.
Time will tell. But, I am thinking he will grow into a very good coach.
He was asked about not being Tennessee's first choice and if that bothered him. He said it did not bother him at all. He was his wife's third choice and that has worked out for 20 years now.
True story!

WOW Gator that's a lot coming from you....
You are correct no one knows.
My opinion is this, Hart is taking a lot of flack for how this panned out. I figured it would be Jones from the start.
The problem is no one EVER knows how these searches pan out and what happens behind the scenes.
He HAD to court Gruden to appease the fan base.
Gundy was a good look but surely no one thought he would leave his Alma mater.
Strong was said to be the guy from the start and I commend him for staying with who gave him his first shot( and he got compensated well for staying).
I think Gundy and Strings decision will come back to bite them on the arse.
DD aside it takes a certain brevado to step outside of your comfort level and tackle the SEC.
Is he the sexy pick, NO, BUT a solid hire and a more solid hire than making a splash to make the fan base happy.
Someone else said on here our schedule is going to produce losses in the first 6 games regardless of the coach next year.
Good to get someone in and work in keeping recruits and sell the fact there is playing time from day one.
One of the players tweeted its good to know everything will be opened up and we can compete on the field to see who gets to play. Will we win the SEC in two years probably not but I think it's a good start.
Better him than an also ran and or an unproven OC/DC from college or pros.
He turned down other jobs in hopes of landing at UT.
I will buy my season tix and I WILL be in Oregon to support our new coach.
Mark another win for the Gators next year over the VOLS, after that who knows....
