JONES HAS WON FOUR STRAIGHT VS. ACC OPPONENTS • Jones has found success in recent years against

ACC opponents, winning his last four games against the conference (since 2011), including a 45-24 victory over ACC Coastal Champ Virginia Tech last season at the Battle of Bristol. At Cincinnati, Jones defeated Duke (48-34) in the Belk Bowl and Virginia Tech 27-24 in 2012 and NC State 44-14 in 2011.

• Jones is 8-3 against out-of-conference Power 5 teams since 2011. Jones is 16-3 in all out-of-confer-ence games at Tennessee.

MOST DRAFT PICKS IN FIRST 4 ROUNDS IN 15 YEARS• Jones attended the 2017 NFL Draft and watched

Derek Barnett’s selection by the Philadelphia Eagles with the No. 14 pick in the first round. Overall, six Vols were selected in the draft’s first four rounds - the most UT draftees in the first four rounds in 15 years (since six went in rounds 1 -4 in 2002).

SPECIAL TEAMS STANDARD• Jones’ coached teams make special teams a prior-

ity. Tennessee has finished in the Top 20 in kickoff returns and punt returns in 2015 and 2016, including No. 1 in kickoff returns (33.4 avg, 3 TDs) and No. 4 in punt returns (17.2 avg, 3 TDs) in 2015. The Vols ranked No. 11 in kickoff returns (24.9, 1 TD) and No. 18 in punt returns (11.1, 1 TD) in 2016.

HEAD COACH BUTCH JONESJONES BY THE NUMBERS

BUTCH JONES enters his fifth season at Tennessee and his 11th season overall as a head coach in 2017 with a résumé that not only places him among the top coaches in the Southeastern Conference, but also the entire country.Jones’ teams have won four conference champion-ships, advanced to eight bowls and finished in the Top 25 five times during his 10 seasons as a head coach at Tennessee, Cincinnati and Central Michigan. Along the way, Jones has coached six All-Americans, 76 all-conference selections and 21 NFL Draft picks, in-cluding the NFL’s highest-paid wide receiver Antonio Brown, and Tennessee’s most recent first-round pick, Derek Barnett, who was selected at No. 14 by the Phil-adelphia Eagles in 2017. Jones holds an 80-48 record (.625) in 10 seasons as a head coach.

Tennessee is one of just three SEC teams to win at least nine games the last two seasons and one of just nine teams in the nation to win bowl games in three consecutive seasons heading into the fall. Momentum continues to build on Rocky Top under Jones as the charismatic leader has pushed the Vols to a 30-21 mark and three straight winning seasons for the first time in 12 years, while instilling a championship cul-ture back to a program that had recorded just one winning season in the previous five years when he took over Tennessee prior to the 2013 campaign.Faced with a rebuild when he was announced as the new head coach on Dec. 7, 2012, Jones has re-modeled the Vols “brick by brick” into a consistent winner in his own image, as a passionate, competi-tive and consistent band of brothers, working tire-lessly to bring Tennessee back to the top of the SEC. Jones also has made developing men off the field a top priority at Tennessee and throughout his career. He has coached 203 academic all-conference award winners, including 109 SEC academic honor roll re-cipients at Tennessee. Under Jones, every academic

record in Tennessee football history has been broken and 84 Vols have earned degrees. In 2016, three Vols collected Academic All-District honors, while every senior on the 2016 team graduated with a degree. Last spring, Joshua Dobbs received the Torchbear-er Award for 2016-17 – the highest honor given to a student at the University of Tennessee in recognition of their accomplishments in the community and aca-demics. Additionally, 67 student-athletes earned Vol Scholar designation in 2016-17 for having a 3.0 GPA. UT football has achieved its highest-ever GPA, sin-gle-year and multi-year APR, and Graduation Success Rate during Jones’ first four years at the helm. Over the last two seasons, 26 Vols have played in bowl games as college graduates.A two-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year, Jones took over a program that hadn’t won a bowl game since 2007. Jones’ Vols have won three consecutive bowl games for the first time in over 20 years (1994-95-96) and have brought back-to-back nine-win seasons to Rocky Top for the first time in nearly a decade. En-tering the 2017 season, the Vols own a 15-4 mark in their last 19 games, which is the second-best mark in the SEC.Jones joined UT from the University of Cincinnati, where he finished with a 23-14 record (.657) in three seasons with the Bearcats. Jones was also the head coach for three years at Central Michigan (27-13, .675, from 2007-09). He has won at least eight games in seven of his 10 years as a head coach, including five seasons of nine-plus wins (2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016). Jones has won 10 or more games twice, fin-ishing 11-2 at CMU in 2009 and posting a 10-3 record with Cincinnati in 2011. He has led teams to four con-ference championships in his 10 seasons as a head coach, including the Big East title in 2011 and 2012 with Cincinnati and the 2007 and 2009 Mid-American Conference titles at Central Michigan.

JONES LEADS 2013 POWER 5 COACHING HIRES Butch Jones was among 13 coaches hired by Power 5 programs in 2013 when Tennessee tabbed him to rebuild the Vols. Jones’ résumé leads the pack of hires from that year. Only eight coaches remain in same job over four years later. • Jones leads all of the 13 coaches with THREE BOWL WINS over the last four years• Jones is the only coach of the eight still at their schools to win 9 or more games at least twice

(Gary Anderson won 9+ games twice at Wisconsin, while Mark Helfrich won 9+ three times at Oregon).

• Jones is the only coach among the 13 to improve or maintain the previous years’ win total each season.

ALPHABETICAL

Tennessee’s state-of-the-art Anderson Training Center is one of the most modern and functional buildings of its kind.

The 145,000-square foot building includes an amphitheater-style team room, coaches’ offices, position meeting rooms, a dining hall, players’ lounge, a 7,000-square foot locker room, a 22,000-square foot, multi-level weight room as well as a new training room, hydrotherapy and nutrition area.

The building also features several technological upgrades, including a state-of-the-art video delivery system for players and coaches. The locker room includes roomy, custom-built and ventilated lockers with electrical outlets for charging portable devices like cellphones, iPods and laptops.

Also included in the building is an updated football hall of fame area.

The Anderson Training Center joins the Brenda Lawson Athletic Center and Neyland-Thompson Sports Center. It provides student-athletes direct

access to both the 120-yard Robert E. White indoor football field and Haslam Field, Tennessee’s two outdoor football practice fields.

The facility is named in honor of the leadership support of the Anderson family, including Charlie and Moll Anderson of Knoxville, Terry and Susan Anderson and Charlie Sr. and Hilda Anderson, both of Florence, Ala. Charlie is a former student-athlete with the Volunteer football program (1974-76) and served as a Board of Trustree member. He and Moll have been leadership donors to athletics for many years and have also impacted multiple areas of campus with their generosity. Terry also played football at UT and his son, Carson, also played for the Vols and graduated in Dec. 2012.

The $45 million facility had its dedication ceremony on April 19, 2013.

SETTING THE STAGE• No. 24 Tennessee begins its 121st season of football

when it faces Georgia Tech in one of the first games of college football’s opening weekend.

• Tennessee and Georgia Tech have met 43 times, with the Vols holding a 24-17-2 series lead over the Yellow Jackets.

• One-time SEC rivals, this year’s meeting marks the first between the programs in 30 years. In the most recent 1987 matchup, Tennessee defeated Georgia Tech, 29-15, in Knoxville.

• Tennessee has won its last eight season openers, outscoring its opposition by an average of 32.3 points in that span. UT has also won 22 consecutive season openers played in the state of Tennessee.

• Last season, the Vols opened 2016 with a 20-13 win over Appalachian State at Neyland Stadium.

CFA KICKOFF AT A GLANCE• This is UT’s second appearance in the Chick-fil-A

Kickoff Game, the first a 35-21 win over N.C. State in 2012. This is Georgia Tech’s first appearance.

• The Sept. 4 game is the second college game to be played in the new $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium and is the ninth ACC vs. SEC matchup in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. The SEC currently holds a 7-1 advantage over the ACC in those games. Overall, the SEC is 9-2 when playing for the Old Leather Helmet.

SCOUTING GEORGIA TECH• Georgia Tech went 9-4 in 2016, tying for the

NCAA’s most-improved team, and capped the year with a 33-18 win over Kentucky in the TaxSlayer

Bowl. The Yellow Jackets went 3-9 in 2015.• Georgia Tech finished the 2016 season having won

four-straight and six of its last seven games. The Yellow Jackets were one of only 13 NCAA Division I FBS teams that rode a winning streak of three games or more into the postseason.

• The Yellow Jackets own a 5-1 record in their last six matchups versus Southeastern Conference teams, including a 3-0 mark in 2016.

• Georgia Tech officially own 11 wins over ranked teams in nine seasons under head coach Paul Johnson. A 12th victory, a 39-34 triumph over No. 25 Clemson in the 2009 ACC Championship Game, was later vacated due to NCAA sanctions.

• The Yellow Jackets return 25 starters from last season and were picked to finish third in the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division in 2017. The program has finished first or second in the Coastal Division six times in Johnson’s nine seasons on The Flats and was picked to finish ahead of Pitt, North Carolina, Duke and Virginia in the 2017 Coastal Division race.

LEGEND OF THE VOLUNTEER• In 1902, the Atlanta Constitution used the term

“Volunteers” to describe the football team when recounting the first-ever game between UT and Georgia Tech. The Vols won, 10-6, win in Atlanta.

• The history of the “The Volunteer State” began with the War of 1812 when Gen. Andrew Jackson led more than 1,500 soldiers to fight for the United States at the Battle of New Orleans.

• The name truly took hold during the Mexican-American war when President James K. Polk, made an appeal for 2,600 volunteers that resulted in more than 30,000 soldiers from Tennessee.

JONES IN SEASON OPENERS• Head coach Butch Jones is 7-3 in his career in

season openers with an average margin of victory of 14.5 points per game.

• Jones is 6-0 when opening the season at home.--BUTCH JONES IN SEASON OPENERS, CAREERYear School Opponent Result2007 C. Michigan at Kansas L, 7-522008 C. Michigan Eastern Illinois W, 31-122009 C.

JONES ON DODD TROPHY WATCH LIST• Tennessee head coach Butch Jones is one of 19

coaches who have been named to the preseason watch list for the 2017 Dodd Trophy.

• The list includes 19 of the nation’s top college football coaches representing all Power 5 conferences and the American Athletic Conference.

• The Dodd Trophy, college football’s most coveted coaching award, celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the gridiron, while also stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity – the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd’s philosophy. Dodd was Georgia Tech’s head coach from 1945-66 and was also a three-year Tennessee letterman from 1928-30, earning All-America honors in 1930.

• The watch list was created through a selection process by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, taking into consideration each program’s graduation rate, commitment to service and charity in the community, projected success for the 2017 season and Academic Progress Rate (APR).

HC EXPERIENCE ON STAFF• Tennessee has four assistant coaches that boast

Division I head coaching experience.• Associate head coach Brady Hoke and defensive

coordinator Bob Shoop have each logged full-time head coaching experience, while offensive coordinator Larry Scott and quarterbacks coach Mike Canales have each served in interim roles.

members of the Atlantic Coast Conference:-- Boston College 8-2 Clemson 11-6-2 Duke 14-13-2 Florida State 1-1 Georgia Tech 24-17-2 Louisville 5-0 Miami 2-1 North Carolina 20-11-1 NC State 2-1 Notre Dame 4-4 Pittsburgh 0-2 Syracuse 3-0 Virginia 3-1 Virginia Tech 6-3 Wake Forest 6-3 Total 117-65-7

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL• UT opens its season on a Monday for the first time

since the Vols played at UCLA on Sept. 1, 2008, dropping the game, 27-24, in overtime.

• Tennessee is 12-11-1 all-time in Monday games dating back to a loss at Sewanee on Oct. 24, 1892.

• The Orange and White hold a 3-1 record when playing on Sept. 4. On the date in 2010, Tennessee shut out Tennessee-Martin 50-0.

TENNESSEE AT NIGHT• Tennessee is officially 107-59-4 (.630) all-time in

night games (those beginning after 6 p.m. local time).

• The Vols played in four night games last season, finishing 2-2.

THREE STRAIGHT BOWL WINS• With a 55-0 win over Tennessee Tech in Week 10

(Nov. 5) of the 2016 season, the Volunteers became bowl eligible for the third consecutive season under Butch Jones.

• Tennessee had not appeared in three consecutive bowl games since the 2002-04 seasons under Phillip Fulmer. Those years capped a streak of 16 consecutive bowl appearances for the Vols from 1989-2004.

• Tennessee is one of nine programs to win three consecutive bowl games over the last three seasons:

- Tennessee - Clemson - Wisconsin - Stanford - Georgia - Virginia Tech - Utah - Louisiana Tech - Western Kentucky

BACK-TO-BACK NINE-WIN SEASONS• Tennessee is one of 22 teams to win nine or more

- Tennessee - Alabama - Florida - Temple - Houston - Navy - Clemson - FSU - Oklahoma - Oklahoma State - Ohio State - Michigan - Wisconsin - WKU - Louisiana Tech - BYU - Toledo - Boise State - San Diego State - Stanford - Utah - Appalachian State

7+ DAYS TO PREPARE• For his career, head coach Butch Jones is 27-12

THE GENERAL

THE PROVERBIAL YARDSTICKOne of the greatest coaches in the history

of the game of football, Gen. Robert Reese Neyland is still, and will most likely always be, the yardstick by which all Tennessee football coaches are measured. For 21 years, he led the Big Orange to win after win and championship after championship. His 173 wins, seven conference titles and four national championships set the bar at one of the nation’s finest football institutions.

According to UT legend Gus Manning, no one summed up Neyland and his coaching ability better than Wallace Wade: “He could take his and beat yours or take yours and beat his.” -- Wallace Wade, Alabama and Duke head coach and Neyland rival.

NEYLAND’S MAXIMS OF FOOTBALL1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way -- SCORE.3. If at first the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up -- put on more steam.4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle -- for this is the WINNING EDGE.6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING...“The big games I played in Neyland Stadium are right up there with the Super Bowl. It is still one of the most electric atmospheres I have ever experienced, and the passion of the fans is what makes the difference.”

- Peyton Manning, Former Vol and NFL QB

“It is a remarkable experience. It starts with the Vol Walk down to the stadium, and the energy just builds and builds until you run through the ‘T’ for kickoff.”

- Jerod Mayo, Former Vol and NFL LB

“Don’t know if it is the stadium on the water, a bright orange I can even see or the 100,000+ die-hard fans but Tennessee is definitely one of my top-5 spots in college football. Neyland and Tennessee, you far exceeded my expectations.”

- Brock Huard, ESPN/SEC Network game analyst

“The noise was a constant, oppressive force. I could literally feel it on my skin. But these fans weren’t just loud on the first drive. Or just on 3rd down. Or just in the fourth quarter. It was every. single. play.”

- Ty Darlington, Oklahoma center (2015)

“Last year when we went to play Tennessee in Neyland Stadium, that was probably the best game experience I’ve had and probably will ever have. That’s a different type of loud. I can’t even describe it. It was unbelievable.”

- Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma quarterback (2015)

“It’s got to be Tennessee! That night in that stadium with the orange and Rocky Top -- that’s my favorite!”

- Lee Corso, ESPN College Football Analyst
