Everyone is officially on Butch Jones watch.
The end is certainly near for the Vols’ head coach following the 45-7 loss to Alabama, but it’s uncertain if Tennessee AD John Currie will elect to fire Jones during the season or wait a little longer.
Paul Finebaum and Booger McFarland can’t imagine the Vols letting this play out any further. The two hopped on SportsCenter Sunday morning to discuss Jones.
“It’s 8:17 a.m. and Butch Jones is still the football coach,” Finebaum said. “I can’t understand it. I wouldn’t have let him get on the plane last night. I can’t imagine this university to allow this to go on any longer.”
McFarland is in agreement with Finebaum.
“If you watch this Tennessee program, it’s a prideful program … What are they waiting on? Go ahead and put the man out of his misery.”
Will Jones make it to Saturday’s game against Kentucky?
All eyes are on Knoxville.
Saturday Down South is a leading destination for college sports discussion and news.
