Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 2346751, member: 1312"] Who knows if Babers would be interested in Tennessee, but I think the expectations are very (too?) high for the program and this may be one of the toughest coaching jobs due to the expectations. Butch Jones is 3-3 this year including 0-3 in the SEC. His overall record at Tennessee is 33-24 and 14-21 in the SEC, so he is probably out after this year. Tennessee, like Syracuse, is in a difficult division and the ceiling, over the long run, is probably the 3rd best team in their division after Florida and Georgia. The last head coaching search was difficult, which I think is indicative of the attractiveness of the job, and they ended up settling on Jones. The only potential opening that I would worry about is UCLA as Babers grew up in San Diego and he was an assistant at UCLA. Great recruiting in your own backyard, so the job has a high ceiling and it seems like the job pressure would be lower than the SEC. [/QUOTE]
