per ESPN:
Tennessee, winless this season in SEC play, has fired fifth-year coach Butch Jones with two games left in the regular season.
"Unfortunately, we are not where we need to be competitively," Tennessee athletic director John Currie said Sunday in a statement. "For that reason, I have asked Coach Jones to step down."
Defensive line coach Brady Hoke will serve as the Volunteers' interim head coach.
On Saturday, Tennessee was blown out 50-17 at Missouri, the Vols' fifth loss in their past six games. Two weeks ago, they lost at Kentucky, marking only their second loss to the Wildcats in the past 33 years.
