Everyone is wondering if Tennessee’s dreadful Mizzou performance will be final nail in Butch Jones’ coffin

Tennessee was getting smashed by Missouri on Saturday night at the time of this post.
The Tigers were leading 44-17 in the fourth quarter, and appeared to be well on their way to a comfortable win. Meanwhile, UT appeared to be well on its way to its sixth SEC loss this season.
Should the Volunteers’ performance against the Tigers be the final straw for Tennessee’s administration in reviewing the job Butch Jones has done as head coach?
Many Vols fans on Twitter seemed to think so. You could say Tennessee fans are becoming restless, but most of them are past that point. Most are hoping the Mizzou game will be the last one Jones coaches for UT.
Here are some of the best reactions:
So Does UT throw Butch Jones in that #Team121 garbage can & leave it in Columbia?
