Jones has everyone bought in, including recruits. In his two seasons in Knoxville, Jones has brought in the third and seventh ranked recruiting class in the country, hauling in five, five star-prospects, according to 247Sports. Recruiting at Tennessee isn’t tough, but Jones has quickly built Tennessee into a top contender in the SEC East, brick by brick.
If Jones’ Volunteers were to regress this season, he would definitely return in 2016, but if his Volunteers continued on that path, Jones’ era in Tennessee would come crashing down, brick by brick.
Expectations will always be high for Jones in Knoxville, and if Jones’ continues to rebuild the Volunteers at this pace, they will be contending for a spot in the College Football Playoff in no time.
