The 5 worst moments of the Butch Jones era at Tennessee

Last week we took a look at the best moment in each of Butch Jones’ five seasons as Tennessee’s coach. Today we will go in the opposite direction.

This list was a bit more difficult to compile because, frankly, there were more memorable negative moments than positive ones during Jones’ tenure. The Vols went 34-27 in that span, with a 14-24 mark in SEC play. Tennessee’s record was 3-12 against its three biggest rivals, as well.
