"There has been a complete shift culturally," Jones said. "It's not where we need to be yet, but every day you see progress. ... I think we're going through the realities of building a college football program at an elite level. But I think we've made tremendous strides. I think we're right there in terms of mentality, the standard, the expectations."
"There isn't any bigger stage in the country than Tennessee football," Jones said. "... Fans can see the progress we're making. Yes, we expect to win -- 5-7 is not up to our standards. But they see the improvements in the style of play. They can feel the energy. It's contagious."
