IMO Jones should have listened to Manning and took the Colorado job!!! Less stress.

No it just means that Manning should conentrate on pro football and leave the college game alone.

Looks like Peyton's influence is waning. Jones is UT's new HC.

The Tenn job is far better than Colorado. The Buffs are going to be hard pressed to find a decent coach after running the last coach off in 2 years.

Good point. Tennessee is 50% more patient than CU is.

From what I'm hearing on the radio, seeing on the local tube and reading in the paper is, V'Natic will be in the minority if he is content with this hire. BJones sure has his work cut out for himself.

I don't think Peyton was trying to get Jones out of the candidate pool for UTK. This is much ado about nothing.

I think you're right, but why is Peyton even trying to convince or recruit Jones to go to either Tennessee or Colorado??? Doesn't Jones have a mind of his own and what does Peyton know about coaching college football???

Yeah-- I think he's a really good choice.
He was one of the top three "realistic" choices that I thought of when the search started-- the other two were Strong and Fedora.
