Butch Jones is in Knoxville and was in his office today and was there as late as an hour ago.
On the OC front, nothing new in terms of names right now. I think based on Butch's comments last night (in our story) and in talking to people today, Larry Scott remains very much a candidate for the job.
I'm not saying that anything is a done deal at all. But he is a real candidate.
Now, let me throw another quarterback name out there. I think it's the biggest hire Jones is going to make.
Chris Weinke is a name that could be a one to watch. Weinke was at IMG Academy and has been with the Los Angeles Rams. Obviously, Weinke and Gullickson know each other.
Weinke has worked with alot of high school qb's through the years and college guys as well. I don't think that Weinke has interviewed with Jones, but I do believe he is a name to add to the watch list.
