Alabama student section trolls Tennessee with Butch Jones chant during warmups

Not everyone is ready for Tennessee to move on from head coach Butch Jones.

The Volunteers have struggled all year under Jones and are facing a tough task against No. 1 Alabama. Things are bleak in Knoxville following an 0-3 start in the SEC that included being shutout by Georgia at home and losing to South Carolina while failing to score a touchdown in the 15-9 loss.

It has been a rough year for Jones, but he has received encouragement from a few unlikely sources leading up to kickoff against the Tide. A plane in Tuscaloosa took to the skies to give Jones a special message, and the Alabama student section had a suggestion for Tennessee during pregame warmups:

Alabama fans certainly have plenty of reasons to want Jones to remain in Knoxville. The Tide are 4-0 against the Vols during Jones’ time there, and the opening line for Saturday’s game was the largest in the history of the rivalry.
