Months removed from a very disappointing season for the Tennessee Vols, Butch Jones legitimately feels good about where Tennessee football is right now and where it's heading.
"I think our program has tremendous momentum in moving forward," Jones said during Monday's SEC coaches teleconference.
Now, it's been easy to make fun of Jones and the Vols in recent months. His "Champions of Life" comment was mocked ad nauseam by many outside of the fan base, and loathed by many inside of it. Then, we all had a good laugh with the spiel about Jones only looking for "five-star hearts" when it became clear that national signing day wasn't going to be as joyous for Vols fans as in recent years.
