Tennessee has recorded back-to-back nine-win seasons and won three bowl games in a row, but that doesn’t mean Butch Jones can prop his feet while sitting in a recliner.
In fact, CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel thinks Jones is squarely on the hot seat.
“I think obviously he’s on the hot seat,” Neuheisel said. “You’ve got a new AD (athletic director John Currie) who’s listening to all the noise and is going to be watching very carefully. … You’ve got a 100,000-seat stadium that needs to be rocking and rolling, and that first game against Georgia Tech will be huge.
