Vote now on which coach Tennessee should call as soon as Butch Jones exits!

The Vols are rapidly crumbling, and it’s pretty clear this can’t last much longer.

Here’s a poll (if it’s not showing up for you via mobile Google, just drop your suggestion in the comments). It’s a list of names I’ve seen suggested by Tennessee fans for the program’s extremely potential coaching vacancy, in light of Butch Jones’ continued struggles. It’s going up as the score against rival Georgia is 31-0 in Knoxville with UT’s best offensive play on the day so far ending with a lost fumble.

You’re in charge of Tennessee now! Who are you calling?

These names aren’t based on serious reportage and aren’t meant to indicate all of these coaches would be heavily interested. One (Stoops) is retired, one (Gruden) has said no a million times, some are from far away, and multiple others have never been coaches. One is not a human (Miles ... wait, I mean Smokey). But you’re in charge now, so do the Vols right!

Anyway, let’s recount Butch Jones’ last seven games:

7. After starting as the SEC East favorite, the Vols headed to Vanderbilt at 8-3. Jones accidentally created the Life Championship meme, then lost to the in-state rival.

6. Beat Nebraska as Vols brawled in the stands! Nebraska’s coach might be fired soon.

5. Beat Georgia Tech in a game that had UT fans screaming FIRE BUTCH JONES the entire time, even after the W.

4. Beat FCS Indiana State!

3. Lost to Florida after absolutely baffling play on offense in the red zone and on a blown defensive coverage to end the game.

2. Beat 0-4 UMass by four points.

1. Getting annihilated by Georgia as Vol fans again brawled in the stands.
