After Tennessee lost 41-0 at home to the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon, many think coach Butch Jones won’t be in Knoxville for much longer.
In fact, things are so bad that oddsmakers have already released betting odds on who will be the Vols’ head coach at the start of next season.
Chip Kelly is the favorite, as you can see below, but he’s closely followed by Jeff Brohm of Purdue and Bobby Petrino of Louisville:

Former Tennessee star Tee Martin and ex-Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops check in at +900 and former LSU coach Les Miles is at +1,000.
Fans will also note Peyton Manning and (much to the chagrin of many Tennessee supporters) ex-Vols coach Lane Kiffin at +10,000.
Should Jones manage to keep his job and start next season as the coach, all bets will be refunded, according to the tweet.
Still, it’ll be interesting to see how much those lines move as the season goes on.
