Former Tennessee coach Butch Jones has found a new way to make his mediocre college football coaching career look extra special

Let's add some context here. 

Jones led Central Michigan to three bowl games. He lost twice in the Motor City Bowl and then he resigned to take the Cincinnati job before the GMAC Bowl.

At Cincinnati, Jones led the Bearcats to a win in the Liberty Bowl and then resigned before the Belk Bowl to take the Tennessee job. 

Jones went 3-0 in bowl games with the Vols, but Tennessee's appearance in the Music City Bowl in 2016 was perhaps the most uninspiring bowl game appearance in UT program history. 

The Vols, as Tennessee fans undoubtedly remember, had a spot in the Sugar Bowl all but locked up. All the Vols had to do was beat a mediocre Vanderbilt team in the penultimate week of the 2016 regular season. The Vols, though, lost 45-34 to the Commodores, costing the program a trip to New Orleans. 

(Jones is also 1-1 in bowl games at Arkansas State.)

The graphic from Arkansas State isn't wrong, but it certainly isn't nearly as impressive as they want fans to think it is. Jones has never led a program to a "premier" bowl game. In fact, his teams underachieved in several of his seasons (specifically in 2015 and 2016 at Tennessee). 

The attempt to make Jones' career look more impressive than it's really been is a reminder that if you have to brag about your accomplishments, while slightly embellishing them, then you probably aren't who you think you are. 

By the way, Tennessee fans have seen this song and dance before from Jones. 

Remember in 2014 when Vols fans had to hear that Jones was the "most followed" coach on Twitter?

To this day, there are plenty of folks who strongly feel that Jones' followers are mostly made up of bots and other questionable accounts.

I mean, Jones still has 1.1 million followers as the head coach at Arkansas State, yet Kirby Smart, arguably the top coach in the sport, has 461,000 followers. And Lane Kiffin, the most compelling/entertaining coach to follow on social media, has 718,000 followers. 

Yeah, I'm not buying that 1.1 million people were dying to hit that follow button on Jones' account.
