Disgruntled University of Tennessee fans are taking to Twitter with a new hashtag - #EmptyNeyland - calling for the boycott of Saturday's homecoming football game if head coach Butch Jones isn't fired.

UT is 3-5 overall and 0-5 in the SEC after Saturday's loss at Kentucky, leaving Jones on one of the hottest seats in the country.

Fans on Twitter have not been shy about expressing their desires to see Jones and his staff gone.

Following Saturday's 29-26 loss to Kentucky, momentum picked up behind #EmptyNeyland, which is calling on fans to boycott Saturday's homecoming game against Southern Miss if Jones is not fired.

"If Butch Jones is the head coach Monday this is what Neyland needs to look like next Saturday night," tweeted one Twitter user, Connor Howard, along with a photo of an empty Neyland Stadium.

"#EmptyNeyland. If Butch is coach, and your butt is in a seat, you are accepting the administration's mediocrity," tweeted user Zane Winders.

"Fans, just stop going to the game," said Patrick Spinning. "Do not give this school anymore money until they show they're serious about winning. #EmptyNeyland."

A Twitter account dedicated to seeing Jones fired, @ButchMustGo, also tweeted out the hashtag along with #FireButch.

Some fans fought back against the hashtag, saying it would only hurt the players if people don't show up for Saturday's game. An alternative hashtag, #FillNeylandUp was even started as a protest.

"Fire Butch. Fire Currie. But don't #EmptyNeyland. The players do not deserve to be punished for admins actions. Remember these are kids," said Brad Parker.

Still, the overwhelming number of tweets called for the firing of Jones and a boycott of the game.

"If @UTCoachJones is still the coach next week we need to #EmptyNeyland to show 'em how we feel! We can support the kids from home! #Vols," tweeted a user named The Vol Colonel.

UT spokeswoman Karen Simsen said the university did not have a comment on the hashtag or whether there are plans to fire Jones.
