I attended CMU (before transferring) while butch jones was there… that man had the Chips ranking in the top 25, putting in an unprecedented number of players into the NFL for a MAC school, then Tennessee came calling and it all fell apart.
He may have been a victim of the Saban SEC run where most teams where just slamming their heads against a brick wall in Bama, or maybe Brian Kelly just kept leaving a perfect situation for him to inherit. But for whatever reason it’s always fascinating to see coaches who crush it with lower recruits, less resources, in unfavorable environments struggle once they get a stock fridge to cook with.
