If butch jones has a year like he did this year and if we beat them here in Lexington then he will be gone 100%. Kevin sumlin will also be let go if he has another late season collapse like he's had the past 2 seasons, losing Trevor knight hurt big time this season. And lastly I hope Brian Kelly is fired, dude is an *******.

Bad year for Butch to lose one of the best QB's to ever play in Tennessee, arguably the best defensive lineman to ever play at Tennessee, and a helluva running back in Kamara, among other players.
Not that far-fetched that he could lose his job after this season.

A loss at UK would drop him in a hole very hard to climb out of.

I get your point, but the Vols have had D-lineman that dwarf Barnett. Reggie While and John Henderson are probably 1 and 2 respectively.

Almost half the SEC West coaches are on that list. Man, having to compete with Saban every year must be a nightmare.

These coaches make big bucks so I am not feeling sorry for them, but the life of a football coach is brutal. Mullen even being on a list after only one losing season? Geez. Tough profession.

Wow just wow. Best defensive lineman ever to play at Tennessee?!?!? Ever hear of Reggie white? Literally one of the best and dominant defensive players to ever play the game. Such a honor and privilege that I got to see him play twice for the packers.

I don't see Mullen being on the hot seat either, everybody knew it was going to be a rebuilding year for them this year.

With that being said I think Jim Mora should be #2 on that list if not #1a, he has talented roster and plays in a fairly weak conference.

The Vols look at Kentucky like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked at Spud Web. Losing to us would be an unforgivable sin in the minds of their fans.

Teams may start looking at UK very differently after next year. At least I hope so. Why not Kentucky?

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

Yeah I agree about Mullen because he shouldn't be on there. Mississippi State struggled a little this year but he's made them a very respectable program and I can't imagine it's easy to recruit to a place like Starkville. Butch on the other hand is a different story. His *** is scorching right now and he might need to win 10 next year to keep his job.
