I should say so! At worst, he'll extend the misery 3 or 4 years, at best he'll move tenercee to a permanent second or 3rd in the SEC East...a continual threat to break into the top 20, IOW, lotta w's for Bama!“Our fan base and myself have the same expectations,” said Jones, who was introduced Friday as Tennessee’s new coach. “We’re working to be the best. We’re working to be No. 1 every day. We’re working to be national champions. We’re working to be SEC champions. Here’s the thing: This program has done it and will do it again.” Jones, who’s won four league championships in six years as a head coach, shrugged off the fact that he wasn’t Tennessee’s first choice. “I think I was my wife’s third choice, and it’s worked out for 20 years,” he quipped. Similarly, he downplayed the fact that he doesn’t have any previous SEC experience. “I will be the first to tell you that Nick Saban and Les Miles had zero SEC experience when they came into the league ,” Jones said, and then paused. “So that’s all I will say there.”
