Oct. 19, 2013 Jones gets his first signature win with the Vols, defeating No. 11 South Carolina

Early Sunday, it was reported that Tennessee would be firing head coach Butch Jones after a 50-17 loss to the Missouri Tigers. Several outlets had also reported that Brady Hoke would be taking over as the interim head coach; athletic director John Currie confirmed this Sunday evening during a press conference.

“We had him into the office immediately after my discussion with coach Jones, I gave him the opportunity to serve as interim coach,” Currie said.

Hoke, the now former Tennessee defensive line coach, has amassed much experience as a head coach, serving in this role with three other programs.

In 2003, Hoke got his first head coaching job at Ball State, his alma mater. He coached the Cardinals for six seasons, including a 12-1 record in his final season.

Hoke played college football at Ball State, where he earned four letters and was a team captain. In 1978, he contributed to the team’s first undefeated conference season. Ironically enough, he was also apart of the team’s sec-

ond undefeated conference season as the head coach in 2008.

Hoke left the Cardinals for a head-coaching position at San Diego State, where he led the Aztecs for two seasons before heading to Michigan.

At Michigan, Hoke coached the Wolverines to a Sugar Bowl Championship and an 11-2 record in his first season, but things quickly went downhill after that. Over the next three seasons, the Wolverines regressed in performance and wins, leading to the firing of Hoke.

In his 12 seasons as a head coach, Hoke compiled a 78-70 record. Known as a big-time recruiter, Hoke saw three players he recruited at Michigan turn into first-round picks: Taylor Lewan, Jabril Peppers and Taco Charlton.

On Feb. 17, 2017, Tennessee hired Hoke as the defensive line and associate head coach.

Hoke’s experience with big programs in the past should help his quick transition into the interim position at Tennessee. He has coached 39 total draft picks in his three stops as a head coach, displaying his experience with top-notch talent.

Throughout his career as a coach, Hoke has been known for his enthusiasm. During Tennessee football practices, there are few people louder than the man with a raspy voice

yelling at 300-pounders.

The Vols now hope the enthusiasm Hoke shows can rub off on a team filled with emotions. The players will no longer be led by the person who walked into their living rooms, their schools, their towns and recruited them to Tennessee.

When Hoke was given the opportunity to serve as their interim coach, it was all about the players.

“What he said was he got into this for student-athletes and we got student-athletes who are ready to play their last two regular season ball games of the year, and that’s his focus,” Currie said.

Sitting at 4-6, the Vols will have to win out to receive a bowl berth, which has been the goal for the players in the last few weeks.

They’ll have two home games: one against nationally ranked LSU and the other against in-state rival Vanderbilt.

While other Tennessee assistants were considered for the position, Currie believes that he found the man for the interim job.

“Brady Hoke is a three-time coach of the year in three different conferences,” Currie said. “(Hoke) has won at the highest level. He was a very appropriate choice.”

Vols fire Butch Jones after loss to Missouri Tyler Wombles

Sports Editor

The Butch Jones era at Tennessee is over.

Director of Athletics John Currie announced Sunday that Jones had been fired as the head coach of the Tennessee football team. Jones was in his fifth season with the program.

“Unfortunately, we are not where we need to be competitively,” Currie said in a university release. “For that reason, I have asked Coach Jones to step down as head football coach. I know Coach Jones will be successful moving forward, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

The Vols currently hold a 4-6 record on the season, including a 0-6 mark in SEC play.

Tennessee suffered a 50-17 defeat to Missouri in Columbia on Saturday.

Tennessee had dropped contests against SEC opponents Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Kentucky earlier in the year.

“I would like to emphasize how much I appreciate Butch and Barb Jones and their sons, Alex, Adam and Andrew,” Currie said in the release. “The Jones family has poured their heart and soul into this Tennessee football program and the Knoxville community.

We have been fortunate to have Coach Jones lead our program the last five years.

“During that time, the program has improved tremendously in the areas of academics, discipline and community involvement.”

Jones was hired from Cincinnati in 2012 by former Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart. He replaced Derek Dooley, who was fired with one game left in the 2012 season after notching a 15-21 win-loss record with the Vols.

Jones recorded a 5-7 record in his first year at the helm, including a 2-6 mark in SEC play.

The Vols’ upset of then-No. 11 South Carolina that season was widely regarded as the first signature win of Jones’ Tennessee career.

Tennessee followed up with a 7-6 overall record in 2014 and the program’s first bowl win since 2007, defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Taxslayer Bowl. The Vols went 3-5 in conference play that season.

In 2015, Jones’ squad notched a 9-4 record, including the program’s first victory over Georgia in five years. Tennessee defeated Northwestern 45-6 in the Outback Bowl to conclude the season.

Despite high expectations for the 2016 season, the Vols recorded their second consecutive 9-4 record and finished the year with a 38-24 victory over Nebraska in the Music City Bowl. Tennessee did, however, snap Florida’s 11-game winning streak over the

team, besting the Gators 38-28 in Neyland Stadium.

Jones has an 84-54 career record as a head coach, having led two programs before being hired by Tennessee. He was the head coach of Central Michigan from 2007 to 2009, going 27-13 during that span, before leading Cincinnati to a 23-14 overall mark from 2010 to 2012.

Currie held a press conference on Sunday to discuss his firing of Jones and the future of the program. He emphasized his commitment to searching for an ideal candidate, while also praising Jones.

“We will begin an exhaustive search for a person of the highest integrity and character with the skills and vision to propel Tennessee to championships,” Currie said.

“This is an extraordinarily special place with unique opportunities and tradition of excellence. This coaching search will be my sole focus and I will be in regular contact with Chancellor Davenport.”

Currie elaborated on when the decision to relieve Jones of his duties as head coach was made during the press conference, stating that he came to the conclusion on the night of the team’s loss to Missouri.

“Late last night it was evident that this was probably the direction we needed to go, for the best of all concerned,” Currie said.

“Again, we have two games left to play, and we want our student-athletes to have the best possible chance for success. We want Coach Jones and his family to be treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve. And we want to be able to focus—from my perspective—on the search going forward.

“None of us want to be in this position, but we are in this position. And now we move forward.”

Tennessee has fielded five different head coaches in 11 years, with three of the last four ending their careers with the Vols via termination.

Currie expressed his belief that Tennessee offers appeal for potential coaches despite its recent history of coaching turnover.

“I believe that the opportunities at the University of Tennessee are extraordinary.

And there are so many (great) things about the fundamental fabric of our program and our university. This is the most beautiful city in our conference. This is a special and vibrant place. We have a great university, we have an outstanding chancellor —Chancellor (Beverly) Davenport — who’s done a super job of connecting with our students and faculty. This is a wonderful opportunity.”

Davenport tweeted after Jones’ termination was announced, expressing her confidence in Currie and the young coaching search.

“On behalf of @UTKnoxville, I would like to thank Butch Jones for his service and

We wish Butch and his family all the best in the future. I have full confidence in Athletic Director John Currie and his ability to lead a search for our next @Vol_Football coach.

I know that John is committed to finding the best person to lead our program in the future.”

With Jones out as the head man at Tennessee, athletic director John Currie has appointed Brady Hoke to interim head coach for the program as he searches for a longterm replacement for Jones. Hoke has also

served as Tennessee’s defensive line coach this season.

“Coach Brady Hoke has been named interim head coach,” Currie said in the release. “I know Vol Nation will rally around this team and support our student-athletes as they compete the remainder of the season.”

Hoke was the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines from 2011 to 2014, notching a 31-20 record during his tenure. He has also served as the head coach for Ball State and San Diego State.

Vols decimated by Missouri’s running game in 50-17 loss Tyler Wombles

Sports Editor Heading into Saturday’s contest, the expectation by many analysts and fans was to witness Tennessee’s secondary come under fire by standout Missouri quarterback Drew Lock.

The Vols’ defensive backfield was ranked No. 3 nationally in terms of passing yards allowed, but Lock led the country in touchdowns through the air with 31.

While Lock did notch an impressive game against the Vols, throwing for 217 yards and four touchdowns, Missouri’s running attack also assailed Tennessee the entire game, as the Tigers totaled 433 rushing yards on the night.

“Obviously it starts with stopping the run,” former head coach Butch Jones said. “We weren’t able to stop the run. Way too many missed tackles, too many misfits. We have an opportunity to go in at halftime 17-17 and they’re trying to run the clock out. (We) give up a catastrophic big run like that, which you cannot do.”

It wasn’t just one player that led the way for the Tigers’ rushing attack against the Vols’ defense, either.

Sophomore running back Ish Witter torched the Vols on the ground, rushing for 216 yards and one touchdown on 24 carries. Freshman tailback Larry Rountree carried the ball 18 times for 155 yards and a score.

Senior linebacker Colton Jumper was blunt when describing Tennessee’s defensive woes against the high-octane Missouri offense, not being able to pinpoint the exact issue that the Vols’ unit was having in stopping the Tigers.

“I’m not sure,” Jumper said. “If we knew, we’d correct it … We had been preparing for it all week. We knew they had a tough-to-defend offense. It does create problems communicationwise for when we get into formations.”

During the first quarter, Witter scored for

Missouri on a seven-yard carry to put the Tigers ahead 7-0, but Nigel Warrior responded with a 70-yard pick six to tie the contest at 7-7.

Lock connected with Emanuel Hall on a touchdown pass from 31 yards out and the two squads swapped field goals before the midway point of the second quarter. Tennessee freshman McBride threw a 19-yard touchdown to Ethan Wolf, then Rountree scored on a one-yard run, giving Missouri a 24-17 lead at the conclusion of the first half.

Three touchdown passes from Lock and two field goals by Tucker McCann helped Missouri decimate the Vols in the second half, defeating Tennessee 50-14. The Tigers finished with 659 total yards of offense, compared to the Vols’ 285.

McBride finished the game 16-of-32 passing for 139 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He also led the team in rushing, notching 63 yards on 14 carries.

“I thought Will did some good things,” Jones said. “He stood in the pocket. He made good throws. He also had some freshman moments as well that we’ll continue to learn from and move on.”

The loss gives Tennessee a 4-6 overall record on the season and a 0-6 mark in SEC play.

“We have to remember this,” Jones said.

“Remember this feeling and move on … The message is the same. We have two games left. It’s all about this football team and how we finish. We work exceptionally hard every single day and it’s very disappointing when you invest the way you invest each and every day to win on Saturday’s.

“That’s what it’s all about. It’s about these seniors. It’s about these players. It ain’t about the coach. It ain’t about nothing else.”

The Vols will host SEC opponent LSU on Nov. 18 at Neyland Stadium. LSU has a 7-3 record on the season, having defeated Arkansas 33-10 on Saturday. In order to be eligible for a bowl game this season, Tennessee will have to win out over the remaining two games (LSU, Vanderbilt) of the regular season.

Beacon Beats: Old memories, new nostalgia “Reputation” -Taylor Swift

ANTICIPATION: 3/5

In my opinion, Taylor Swift is a genius when it comes to her releases. She follows a pattern: She releases a controversial, weaker single to get people talking, and then she releases a quality pop album which sells incredibly well. As a long-time fan, I was nervous to approach her new album, which follows a single in which she infamously calls the old Taylor “dead.” I was excited but nervous.

DURING: 5/5

Courtesy of iTunes

AFTER: 5/5

“What if nothing” -Walk the Moon

ANTICIPATION: 2/5

Walk The Moon, much like Taylor Swift, brings back high school memories for me. Their hits “Anna Sun” and “Shut Up And Dance” were often played at dance parties and on drives in the summertime. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to one of their albums from beginning to end or took time to enjoy every song. Getting ready to listen to the album, I had little to no expectations.

Just as she’s claimed, the old Taylor is surely gone and has evolved into the new sounds found in Reputation. My biggest take away is the cohesive sound of the album as a whole. Each track flows into one sure sound. Swift embodies a new persona: one who is reckless and confident. The damsel in distress of Taylor’s first hit, “Love Story,” has evolved into the new Taylor, a Taylor who knows what she wants and what she doesn’t need: “Slowly I said, ‘You don’t need to save me / But would you run away with me?’”

“Phases” -Angel Olsen

DURING: 4/5

“What if Nothing” is a unique, surprising album. Lyrics are seemingly nonsensical. The music varies from happy, summertime-reminiscent tunes to musically electronic unexpected explosions. Each song, though new, seems to be full of nostalgia, perfect for those long drives at night for the young and free. The song Surrender, for example, goes, “Another night in Courtesy of iTunes my new skin / Throw emotion to the wind / And just try to find a face that’ll make me feel something.”

AFTER: 3/5

Overall, Walk the Moon continues to produce fun and experimental tracks, but I find that I’m not left particularly moved. The lyrics are meant to be sung along to in the feeling of the moment; they don’t come together as whole, in-depth stories.

But I’m sure I’ll be playing their music for some wild and free upcoming times.

Swift’s country-pop days are long gone.

Instead, each song in this album is an airy yet daring and focused number. Swift seems to forsake her previous sound, experimenting with harsher tones and more vocal depth. Lyrically, Swift is bolder than ever before. Most lyrics revolve around her public eye and the mistaken perceptions people have of her, both the good and the bad of her relationship survival tactics and faithful love that she’s never known.

ANTICIPATION: 1/5

I had never heard of Angel Olsen before I listened to her newest album.

Therefore, my expectations were minimal. Her vibe did look interesting to me, and I was excited to listen to an artist I had never heard before without any previous thoughts in my mind.

DURING: 4/5

Olsen’s music is stunning. Her voice echoes with a sound reflecting a song in an open room. Her voice is truly what carries the album from beginning to end.

Each song seems to come from a different time; her voice relies on a nostalgic tone to bring together the verses. As someone new to her music, it felt like something I had heard a long time ago in a beautiful way.

AFTER: 4/5

“Phases” falls into place like poetry.

Her old-fashioned yet completely new sounds revolve around love and loss in life. As “Fly On Your Wall” reflects, “Now I just can’t take it back / Or I do anything but that / To have the glimpse of the dream / The vivid memory.” Although I had never listened to Olsen, I will certainly return to her music.

Haslam College celebrates veterans ahead of holiday Will Whittaker Staff Writer

Veterans received a special salute on Thursday afternoon.

Members of the Haslam College of Business joined in celebrating current and former servicepersons of the U.S. Armed Forces during their second annual Veterans Appreciation Salute.

Major General John Cardwell, native of Loudon, Tennessee, gave the keynote address.

As an alumnus of UT, Cardwell attended the university on an Army ROTC scholarship and graduated with honors in 1984.

A standing ovation welcomed Cardwell to the stage. Cardwell challenged the audience to learn and know the stories behind the names on the plaques and monuments of fallen soldiers and to learn the stories of the veterans with their own families.

Cardwell focused on informing the audience of ways to properly honor and show respect for U.S. veterans. To demonstrate ways for citizens to keep honoring veterans in mind, Cardwell used the acronym “V.O.L.” “V” stood for venerate; Cardwell told a story about learning his grandfather’s past and how he

served. Cardwell said it was important to learn his grandfather’s story.

The next letter, “O,” stood for obligation, and Cardwell said it was a collective obligation to fight for veterans once they return home.

“There are 21 million living U.S. veterans.

While a majority live full lives, there are about 1.1 million who are over 70 percent disabled,” Cardwell said. “We called upon these soldiers to fight for us; now, let’s fight for them. Contact your elected officials and demand these veterans don’t get lost in the ruckus of politics and to not be used as political pawns to win elections.”

Cardwell expressed praise for UT and its efforts to become a veteran-friendly campus.

Although he praised the recently added UT Veterans Resource Center, he also pushed for more to be done.

“We need to ask our University of Tennessee officials to continue what they’ve made to make this campus veteran-friendly,” Cardwell said.

“I’m happy to hear UT is opening a veteran’s center next week, but UT still ranks only 121 among our universities in the United States.”

The “L” stood for “living,” and in Cardwell’s opinion, it was the most important. People should live the best way they can in order to honor veterans’ services, Cardwell said.

“How we live our lives and use the opportu-

“If you want to honor a veteran then be a person who’s worth fighting for.

Janice Hall, coordinator with the Office of Diversity and Community Relations, said she thought the university’s support of veterans was important, and to show appreciation, she suggested for people to simply stop and thank them.

“If you see anyone in uniform, thank them and stop them, say hello and speak,” Hall said.

“I think also just doing the right thing and have integrity, being a Volunteer to the fullest extent.

You can do something directly by expressing to them gratitude but also indirectly in how they behave and present themselves.”

College Scholars program director, students discuss program Cat Trieu

Staff Writer College Scholars are some of the most unique members of UT. The College Scholars program began in 1973 as the only UT honors program for 10 years.

The program started with 13 students and has grown exponentially over its 44-year reign to become one of the most selective and prestigious programs on campus.

College Scholars is described as an interdisciplinary honors program under the College of Arts and Sciences that gives students that are motivated and academically talented the chance to pursue academic interests outside of the traditional curriculum.

Director of the College Scholars Program and professor of chemistry, Jeffery Kovac, said the program has provided a home for unique UT students.

“It has provided a home for some of the best students at UT who could not ‘fit’ into a conventional major,” Kovac said. “The College Scholars community supports and inspires students to the highest levels of achievement.”

Students who enter this program declare their major as College Scholars and follow a specialized schedule they have designed to study.

Gus White, a senior in College Scholars, has a program focused on health systems policy with a

minor in Public Policy Analytics.

White applied to the program because he saw it as the most ideal way to explore and nurture each of his interests.

“I entered college wanting to triple major in three things that had nothing to do with each other,” White said. “Several upperclassmen in another scholar’s program I’m involved with recommended I consider doing a College Scholars program.”

To enter the program, students go through a lengthy interview process.

Students first met with Kovac and proposed their desired programs before filling out an online application. Daniel Malagon, a College Scholar in Conservation Biology, said the application was filled with “thought-provoking questions” that may take a semester to answer.

Once the online application was submitted, students met with the College Scholars Panel, comprised of five College Scholars, and the members of the panel make the final decision on applicants’ admission into the program.

Kimberly Dress, a senior College Scholar studying in a specialized program of neuroscience and mental health, said the process was intense, but that is the way it should be.

“The application process is quite rigorous but necessarily so,” Bress said. “Because the College Scholars Program essentially allows you to create your own major, your application has to thoroughly explain the structure, purpose and

goals of your proposed program.”

While the program has a rigorous and lengthy application process, admitted students get the chance to focus on their specialized coursework.

Malagon began his freshman year majoring in animal science, but after joining the College Scholars program, he was able to focus on reproduction under a conversation biology program.

“I was looking around to find a way to better specialize my studies here at UT, so I could tailor something more to my needs than I was currently getting in animal science,” Malagon said.

Kovac attributed the program’s 44-year success to the unique opportunities it has given to students and the support it has received from faculty and alumni.

“The program has benefited from having a series of dedicated directors who have nurtured and continuously improved the program,” Kovac explained. “The alumni of the program are dedicated and have supported the program in a variety of ways including financially.”

Nick Jernigan, a junior in College Scholars with the program Music Cognition, said having a specific goal in mind helped him gain access to the program.

“I would recommend having a specific goal in mind for pursuing a particular program and reaching out to current students in the program for guidance when completing the application.”

White said students should keep in mind how they would structure their own ideal major

“While it may or may not turn out to be the right place for you — the process of considering how would I structure my ideal major is incredibly valuable,” White said.

No matter the application process, Bress said the future is bright for College Scholars.

“Every student in College Scholars is so passionate about what they study, and they have such a unique vision for the future,” Bress said.
