Vols Football: 5 Things Butch Jones Must Do To Improve Next Season

2016 was a year where the Tennessee Vols failed to live up to expectations, which means Butch Jones is on the hot seat heading into 2017.
Fair or not, Vols head coach Butch Jones is on the hot seat heading into 2017.

Jones obviously needs to switch some things up in 2017, in order to ensure he keeps his job beyond next season.
