Hope everyone's doing well and I know this search has been tough on y'all. I just wanted to throw a name out there that the rumor mill is swirling here in Knoxville about the opening in Corvalis, and that's former Tennessee coach Butch Jones. I think he'd bring a "rebuilding" mindset that you guys need right now.
Thoughts?

I don’t know much about him. He seems to be a good recruiter, but couldn’t maximize the talent he had. He had back to back 9 win seasons, which maybe isn’t good enough for your program. From what I’ve read, he was offered the chance to finish the season (2 games) but declined. Is that true? What went wrong for him this year?

Jones may be a great guy, but his sideline demeanor is somewhere between a pre-schooler and Mike Stoops. That alone disqualifies him in my book. He also doesn't appear to have any west coast connections or experience, so I'd pass. UT seemed to lose a lot of winnable games under him, and I couldn't really tell what offensive philosophy he was trying to implement. We've already had enough of that in Corvallis the last three seasons.

This is a joke right?
Give me Lane Kiffin for $100 Alex
Wouldn't it be awesome if Tennessee hires Kiffin.

I love the posts where fans from another struggling team so kindly come to offer us their (about to be or already fired/failed) coach, smh Thanks, but no thanks!

Oregon State and Tennessee are two completely different animals, I think he'd be pretty successful there. It's fair to say he's had success everywhere but at Tennessee, and he even had mild success there for a year or two.
But here's a case where again, while I don't think west coast ties mean much, he has none, and he's not going to bring anything to the recruiting table for OSU going up against the Pac 12 coaches. I could see him going to ASU and having success, because the school sells itself. OSU is not an easy sell, if you are bringing in an outsider, he better have a big name, or big hardware, something to sell kids.
I'd hire Baldwin before I'd even consider Butch Jones.
