Conversation with Butch Jones, Part 1

Paul Dehner getting some one-on-one time with Coach Jones in the first of a two-part series. Lots of coach speak here but the key takeaway, at least for me, is that a good majority of the players in this program were recruited by Jones himself. I fully believe that Brian Kelly did his successor no favors by being very lazy in his recruiting tactics. So in his first two seasons at Cincinnati Butch was tasked at quickly filling the ranks on the roster. Now that most of Brian Kelly’s players are gone, it will be interesting to see if the players Jones hand picked for his program were  truly a good fit for his teams.
