Butch Jones has declined an offer from Colorado, a source close to the coach said

I have also declined an interview at CU. I also declined an interview at Tennessee.

Nobody asked to interview me, but it's just a matter of time before I'm the only one left.

Tennessee should hire Barbara Dooley

Colorado could be a nice job for someone. My brother in law (Denver resident and Buff fan) told me that Colorado has a state law which requires all state employees to conform to a wage scale set by the state. The actual pay is something not near the figures discussed in the media.

That program is toxic right now. No coach who is in demand would go anywhere near that job.

Colorado has a football team?

I think he turned it down because the UT job fell in his lap

There was a time when Colorado was a football power. 1989, I believe.

They won the national title in 1990 and played for it in '89. They were really good from about 89-94, and had good teams until the early 2000s.

Kordell Stewart anyone?

This. Vols fans are thinking (hoping and praying) that he lands in Knoxville. They really don't give a crap whether or not he can coach. They just want it to be over..

And I thought our fall from grace was painful.

Colorado, Washington, Syracuse, Tennessee, Michigan, Nebraska.... a whole lotta has-beens out there.
