Reply to "A predictable place for Tennessee"

Butch Jones is done at Tennessee.

I don't know when it will happen. Maybe Saturday's 41-0 shutout loss to Georgia -- UT's worst to UGA since 1981 -- will be the last game Jones coaches at Tennessee, or maybe he'll be allowed to finish the season. Hell, maybe Tennessee will decide Butch's buyout is cost prohibitive to making a move at this point (according to Darren Rovell, it would cost Tennessee $9.2 million to fire Butch on Sunday), and he returns to Rocky Top in 2018.

I don't know when it will happen. All I do know is that while I was watching the Vols get embarrassed with their worst home loss since 1905 (a 45-0 thrashing by Vanderbilt), I saw a dead man coaching. I think Jones has known it for a while as well because that's the only reason I can think of that would have led to his strange rant about "fake news" last week.

9.2 million to fire him. Crazy. Why do colleges enter into such contracts?
