Butch Jones Reportedly Fired as Tennessee Head Coach; Currently 0-6 in SEC

The University of Tennessee fired head football coach Butch Jones on Sunday following the Volunteers' 50-17 loss to Missouri on Saturday.

Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports first reported the decision and Chris Low of ESPN reported Brady Hoke will serve as the team's interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

Jones took over the Volunteers ahead of the 2013 season and finished his tenure with a 34-27 record, including a 4-6 mark this season. In the last three years, he recorded victories in the TaxSlayer Bowl, Outback Bowl and Music City Bowl.
