Have always thought the most of Charles, he's a class act.
Former Tennessee defensive back and current FOX NFL analyst Charles Davis, who was honored as a Legend of the Game this season has weighed in on the hiring of Butch Jones as the new head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers.
"Coach Butch Jones is a man that not only has the football acumen to bring Tennessee back to it's rightful place in the SEC, and College Football world, he's a man that will "connect" with the "Volunteer Nation," and "Big Orange Country." Butch is a man that knows how to not just sell his program, but make people feel a part of it, and that's something that is sorely needed at Tennessee. Our fans are the best in the world, but it's felt to me that in recent years, they have almost been taken for granted, and that is something that will not happen with Butch Jones."
"On the field, they will play an exciting brand of ball, and they will do it with discipline, and toughness. The players will understand what's expected of them, and will be given plans of attack that will give them the best opportunities to win each week, and those plans will address not just what they are doing on the field, but off of it, too. All areas of academics, off season and in season work out plans, community interaction, and how to best represent themselves, their families, and the University of Tennessee at all times. Being a Vol is a lifestyle, and Coach Jones will show, emphasize, and not compromise on the players understanding of how to best live that life."
"Coach Jones has called this a "Dream job." And, being the Head Coach at Tennessee IS exactly that. Here's my full support of Coach Butch Jones, and his staff as they work to bring Championships with Honor back to Knoxville!"
