It appears that Butch Jones will remain the football coach at UC next year.

Sources have confirmed that Jones has turned down the chance to speak to officials from schools ranging from the ACC to the Big Ten to the Pac-12.

Jones has been mentioned as a candidate at North Carolina of the ACC, UCLA of the Pac-12 and Illinois of the Big 12, but apparently has all but decided to remain at UC, where he has gone 13-11 in two seasons and won a share of the Big East championship this year. The Bearcats will play Vanderbilt in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31.

The UC coach is on his way to signing the most highly-rated recruiting class in UC history. The Bearcats’ 2012 class is currently ranked 26th by Rivals.com and 23rd by Scout.com. He has been in discussions with athletic director Whit Babcock about the future of the UC program.

Good to see. I think Butch was a second tier coach for these schools. UNC found their coach today and he wasn't on the short list. Still I am happy.
