    Tennessee, winless this season in SEC play, has fired fifth-year coach Butch Jones, sources told ESPN.

    Tennessee athletic director John Currie told Jones on Sunday morning that he was being fired, sources told ESPN. The move was first reported by Sports Illustrated.

    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.

    Defensive line coach Brady Hoke will serve as the Volunteers' interim head coach, sources told ESPN.
