Tennessee's Loss to Vanderbilt Puts Butch Jones Firmly on the Hot Seat

There aren't any catchy phrases or slogans for Tennessee head coach Butch Jones to use to describe Saturday night, or the 2016 season, for that matter.

The Volunteers' hapless 45-34 loss to rival Vanderbilt on Saturday night was the low point of a disappointing season and the biggest debacle of Jones' four-year regime. It positions UT in a bowl game nobody will care about and drops Jones squarely in boiling water.

The only spin you hear from Nashville will be the sound of a Vols season that was already teetering on the brink swirling down the drain.
