KNOXVILLE, Tenn. >> Butch Jones wasn't Tennessee's first choice as its next football coach. The Volunteers believe the former Cincinnati coach will prove he's the right choice.
Tennessee introduced Jones on Friday as its successor to Derek Dooley, who was fired Nov. 18 after going 15-21 in three seasons. Jones becomes the Volunteers' fourth coach in six seasons, ending a tumultuous couple of days for both parties. The new Vols coach said he was taking over "the best college football program in America."
"We'll be working to be champions each and every day," Jones said. "We will be a champion in everything we do. That's not only on the field but off the field."
Jones, 44, has a 50-27 record in six seasons as a head coach. He went 27-13 in three seasons at Central Michigan and was 23-14 at Cincinnati the last three years. He now faces the task of rebuilding a former Southeastern Conference power that has posted three consecutive losing seasons.
Tennessee went after at least two other candidates before hiring Jones.
During the 19-day search to replace Dooley, the Volunteers contacted ESPN analyst and former Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden, who indicated he wasn't interested. The Vols then pursued Charlie Strong, who said Thursday he had turned down their offer and would stay at Louisville.
"Rarely in life is anything exactly what it seems to be," Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said. "Life doesn't throw us all fastballs. It throws us curves, and then you've got some screwballs. ... You've got to be able to adjust."
Jones, meanwhile, was apparently waiting for a job like Tennessee.
On the same day Strong made his announcement, Jones rejected an offer to take over Colorado's program. He also had been linked to the Purdue coaching job before withdrawing his name from consideration.
Jones jumped at the Tennessee offer. He called it his dream job and didn't particularly care that he wasn't the Vols' first choice. Continued...
"I think I was my wife's third choice, and it's worked for 20 years," Jones said.
Cincinnati athletic director Whit Babcock said Jones told him Thursday morning that he was rejecting Colorado's offer. Mere minutes later, Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart called Babcock to express his interest in contacting Jones. Babcock said he gave Jones 24 hours to make a decision on whether to stay or go, if Tennessee offered. Babcock said Jones notified him of his decision Friday at 5:15 a.m. and informed Cincinnati's players at a 7:30 a.m. team meeting.
"It's been kind of a whirlwind," Jones said.
Jones' hiring means each of the four Southeastern Conference teams that fired coaches this year has filled its vacancy.
Kentucky hired Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops last week to replace Joker Phillips. Arkansas hired Bret Bielema away from Wisconsin on Tuesday to take over for John L. Smith. Auburn selected Arkansas State's Gus Malzahn on Tuesday as the replacement for Gene Chizik.
Jones will be Tennessee's fourth coach in a six-season stretch, not including offensive coordinator Jim Chaney's stint as interim head coach in the 2012 season finale after Dooley's dismissal. Phillip Fulmer was fired after the 2008 season, ending his career with a 152-52 record at Tennessee. Lane Kiffin coached Tennessee in 2009 before leaving for Southern California. Dooley lasted three years.
After winning at least eight games for 16 consecutive seasons from 1989-2004 and posting double-digit wins in nine of those years, Tennessee hasn't earned more than seven victories in any of its last five seasons. The Vols went 5-7 this fall for their fifth losing season over the last eight years. This also is the first time since 1909-11 that Tennessee has finished below .500 three years in a row.
Hart said at the start of the search that head coaching experience was "critically important" and that he wanted a coach who "knows the difficulty of climbing the ladder in the SEC." Jones lacks SEC experience, but he has a career winning percentage of .649. Jones' teams have earned at least a share of a conference title in four of his six seasons as a head coach.
After replacing Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly at Central Michigan and then again at Cincinnati, Jones maintained the momentum his predecessor had established at each school.
In Jones' three-year stint at Central Michigan, the Chippewas won two Mid-American Conference championships and posted a combined league record of 22-3. Jones went 4-8 in his first year at Cincinnati, but the Bearcats are 19-6 since and have tied for first place in the Big East each of the last two seasons. Cincinnati's 2011 season included a 45-23 loss at Tennessee. Continued...
Jones signed a contract extension after the 2011 season that includes a $1.4 million buyout if he left before Jan. 1.
He was the third consecutive Cincinnati coach to leave after three seasons. Mark Dantonio went 18-17 from 2005-06 before Michigan State hired him away. Kelly posted a 34-6 record before leaving for Notre Dame at the end of a perfect regular season in 2009.
Cincinnati has made defensive line coach Steve Stripling its interim head coach for the Dec. 27 Belk Bowl against Duke in Charlotte, N.C., while it begins searching for Jones' successor.
"There is no timetable to make the hire," Babcock said. "Making the right hire is better than the quickest hire, but admittedly sooner is better if possible."
Jones' background as an assistant is entirely on offense, but one of his biggest challenges at Tennessee initially will be strengthening a defense that allowed the most points (35.7) and yards (471.4) per game of any SEC team this season. The Vols hadn't allowed that high a scoring average since 1893, when they gave up 42.7 points per game while playing a six-game schedule. They hadn't yielded that many yards per game since at least 1950, the earliest year Tennessee's sports information department has that statistic on file.
The makeup of Jones' first offense at Tennessee also remains uncertain, at least for now.
Starting quarterback Tyler Bray and star wide receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Justin Hunter all are projected as first- or second-round draft picks if they choose to turn pro rather than returning to school for their senior seasons. Junior offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James also has been mentioned as a possible draft candidate.

Nationality: GERBorn : 02.11.1989Place of birth: Bergisch Gladbach (GER) Height: 2.15mPosition: C
Tibor Pleiss made his mark at the FIBA World Championship last summer when he became a key part of the rotation, averaging 8.2 points and six boards during 20 minutes of action per game. Having been given only limited playing time at EuroBasket 2009, Pleiss has shown just why he is rated as another top young prospect in German basketball, and fears that last summer's tournament had come too early for him proved unfounded. Having shown much more maturity at club level, his mobility, smooth shot and rebounding capabilities are beginning to outshine his slender frame which occasionally sees him out-muscled on the court. With success at club level, and having been drafted by the New Jersey Nets, Pleiss can probably expect to see some serious minutes at EuroBasket 2011.

Great post, ROR. But when you start thinking so logically and in favor of preserving the legacy and spotlighting the artistry of the man, well...just know EPE is watching.
The problem is they have no faith in the public. The fans, in their eyes, are the nutjobs who will always love Elvis and have always loved Elvis, so EPE can have their way with them. And only that select group of weirdos can ever appreciate songs that go deeper into the catalogue than this Sh!tstory collection...because, you see, they were born that way.
The rest of the record-buying public can only handle the hits. If they hear anything else, immediately that conjures to mind images of a bejeweled Vegas lounge singer who eats jelly doughnuts all day long and just says, "Uh-uh-huh" and "thankyouverymuch". Besides that, that's simply all they want to hear. After going through all the top ten hits, they never think, "Hey, I wonder what else he was doing in those years," or anything of that sort. They're content with the hits because they know that's all the music he ever made.
The Elvis story is after all: rise to fame, Army, movies, Comeback, TTWII, Aloha, death.
Not that anyone around here is jaded or anything.
Whew! I feel better. Yes, I agree totally. An expanded version of Reconsider Baby is much needed, both for the sake of the variety in the Elvis catalogue and for the blues being the most underpromoted musical genre in which Elvis excelled.

St. Vladimir's Seminary is pleased to announce Dr. Peter Brown, Princeton University's Philip and Beulah Rollins Professor of History, Emeritus, as the presenter for the 30th Annual Father Alexander Schmemann Memorial Lecture entitled: "Constantine, Eusebius, and the Future of Christianity." The lecture will focus on how Christians approach the study of history.
Dr. Brown is credited with having created the field of study referred to as "late antiquity" (A.D. 250–800), the period during which Rome fell, the three major monotheistic religions took shape, and Christianity spread across Europe. A native of Ireland, Professor Brown earned his B.A. in history from Oxford University (1956), where he taught until 1975 as a Fellow of All Souls College. He joined the Princeton faculty in 1986 after teaching at the University of London and the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Brown's primary interests are the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages and the rise of Christianity, and he has pursued them through investigations into such diverse topics as Roman rhetoric, the cult of the saints, the body and sexuality, and wealth and poverty.
Dr. Brown's presentation will launch the 75th anniversary year of the Seminary (founded 1938), and will be followed by other Jubilee events, culminating in a gala banquet November 7, 2013, at the Glen Island Harbour Club, New Rochelle, NY.

The Winter Soulstice Retreat: Eastern Orthodox Christian Spirituality with Dr. V. Bruce Rigdon Distinguished scholar, Church historian, authority on Eastern Orthodoxy retreat is sponsored by The North Carolina Academy for Spiritual Formation.
The Greek and Russian Orthodox churches whose roots extend back to the very beginnings of Christian history have much to teach us about how the Christian faith has evolved through the centuries. During this retreat, Dr. Rigdon will help us to experience the Jesus prayer, look at the way Easter is celebrated, from learning to "read" icons to singing Orthodox prayers, from comparing theological themes to looking at the ways that biblical stories are interpreted. All of these ways will help us to understand how many of our traditions were shaped.
Registration forms available here or email Laura Cromley for further information.

Our mission is to cultivate and educate our young adults, leading them to the fullness of the Faith and likeness of God; by utilizing the four circles of Christian living, Worship, Fellowship, Service, and Witness, young adults are integrated into the life of the Church enabling them to become active members of the body of Christ.
Service Project at the Beacon Day Center: The Beacon is open every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. More than 85% of Beacon services are operated by volunteers. The Beacon serves approximately 600 clients daily and, some days, surpasses 750 clients. One of the most important services provided by The Beacon is case management. Our goal is to do more than simply feed people and put them back on the street. The Beacon is helping clients identify, locate, and access services that can help them address the root causes of their homelessness and begin the journey towards moving off of the streets and becoming self-sufficient. Case management guides clients through a complex system, providing tools that ultimately lead to increased stability.
