Butch Jones will take the Tennessee head coaching position

Found December 07, 2012 on Throw The Flag:
TEAMS: Tennessee Volunteers,  Cincinnati Bearcats
Joe Schad of ESPN is reporting that Butch Jones will be the next coach of the Tennessee Volunteers. Is our long national nightmare of the Tennessee coaching search finally over? They’ve already tried for Charlie Strong, Tommy Bowden, and everyone you can think of. Jones is the head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats and had a record of 24 – 14 with them. Before coaching at at Cincy, Jones coached in the MAC at Central Michigan. Butch Jones will be the next Tennessee coach, according to source — Joe Schad (@schadjoe) December 7, 2012 Bo Pelini was even reported to have contacted athletic director Dave Hart to apply for the position. Maybe Volunteer fans can finally move on and get behind a new coach that isn’t Derek Dooley.
