Butch Jones was under fire as of late, especially after the fans began to turn on the Vols during home games.
Recently, Jones did had a bit of a meltdown at a press conference when he was asked about an injury to defensive tackle Shy Tuttle. Tuttle suffered a broken orbital bone. Asked about a rumor that Tuttle was injured by a teammate, Jones launched into a rant that included chastising the media for “fake news.”
Yeah, man. Maybe this report that you are fired is fake news.
We know of at least on fan who is thrilled:
Lyrics breakdown:
Fire Butch on Sunday
I can’t believe this game today
Why can’t John Currie just make Butch go away.
How long ? how long until Butch is gone?
How long? how looooong….must we wait?
We could’ve won this game today!
1st and goal on the one and we’ve got them beat.
Give it to JFK and let him uses his feet.
3 pass plays later
Tim priest cries. (Damnit!!)
I swear one day Butch is gonna make that poor man die!
