Now armed with 280 characters, Vol Twitter has creative ways to say ‘Fire Butch Jones’

It looks like fans of the Tennessee Volunteers are taking advantage of the new character limit on Twitter.

The popular social media site recently announced it was increasing the character limit of tweets from 140 to 280. It was a big move that now allows users to express a bit more in a single tweet than when the site was initially established.

Twitter may have a new character limit, but not much has changed for the Volunteers this season.

The Vols have had a miserable season and remain under .500 with a 4-5 record to this point. The team is still looking for its first SEC win of the season while continuing an uphill climb to bowl eligibility.

Tennessee Vols have responded with the new character limit to provide more ways to call for head coach Butch Jones to be fired. Many fans are done with Jones and are ready for a change in Knoxville. Here is a look at some of the best tweets over 140 characters:

I'm only tweeting this to take advantage of the new character limit. @Twitter it's about time, we needed this a long time ago. Everyone get your #LeadershipRep in today with @UTCoachJones , you all have #5StarHearts in my book. #ChampionsofLife #RollTide I am almost out of charac

I have no idea why anyone continues to advocate for retaining Butch Jones. If Currie keeps him and expects fans to continue to support this less than mediocre performance we currently see, I’m afraid he will see that’s not the case. He will have a mutiny by fans. #voltwitter

I guess the good thing about the 280 character limit now is that these kids that keep de-committing from Butch Jones won’t have to use a screen cap of a note anymore @SwainEvent

UT sending emails this morning to the Big Orange Donation Drive. My response, I will not give one red cent to UT as long as Butch Jones remains as the head football coach. Not a good time to ask for donations IMO

Please help with #BigOrangeGive – Butch Jones is only making 4.3 million dollars to destroy our football program. For a million more he will finish next season. @TonyBasilio

Fans of @Vol_Football shouldn't give Damn about commitment of one player no matter how good….Butch Jones recruited very well and players not being developed in Knoxville….find a Damn Football Coach first folks! https://t.co/JxR3IKecHM
