Tennessee coach Butch Jones hasn't been fired just yet, but BetOnline.ag already has odds ranking his potential successors.
Unsurprisingly, former San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly (+325) is the favorite to coach the Vols next season. Here's how it shakes out with other candidates:
Chip Kelly +325
Jeff Brohm +450
Bobby Petrino +450
Mike Norvell +750
PJ Fleck +800
Bob Stoops +900
Tee Martin +900
Les Miles +1000
Jim Bob Cooter +1800
Dan Mullen +1800
Brian Kelly +2500
Peyton Manning +10000
Lane Kiffin +10000
Kelly, who found more success at Oregon (2009-12) than in his NFL career, has been linked to several big college football jobs since the offseason and Tennessee is no exception.
Former Vols quarterbacks Tee Martin (+900) and Jim Bob Cooter (+1800) — both of whom currently work as offensive coordinators for USC and the Detroit Lions, respectively — are listed, as well as Tennessee legend and former NFL MVP Peyton Manning who has no past coaching experience nor has expressed any interest in pursuing a coaching career.
Manning (+10000) is tied for the least likeliest choice with former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin, who infamously left the Vols after one season.
