Tennessee’s playing Georgia Tech in Atlanta to open both teams’ 2017 seasons. UT head coach Butch Jones entered as one of the country’s true HOT SEAT coaches, his status unpreserved by his mastery of unmotivational slogans.

Let’s keep track of the Tennessee fans’ emotional status by searching Twitter for “fire Butch Jones” tweets, timestamped according to what was going on in the game. I’m attempting to verify that each of these individuals are indeed Tennessee fans, but if I’ve mis-ID’d anyone, just know that there was definitely another such tweet right around that time anyway.

@John_Currie Fire Butch Jones Mr.Currie please!!! We need to get a jump on A&M before Sumlin is canned. It's inevitable they both will — Joey Barnes (@JoBarnes121887) September 5, 2017

I’m pretty sure this is the first positive tweet I’ve seen in this search column, though I’ll admit FIRE BUTCH JONES is a search term that’s biased against Butch Jones

I don't wanna hear fire butch jones give the guy a fucking chance this is the first game of the season. — Elijah (@E_England20) September 5, 2017

Tennessee just forced a punt and has good field position with a chance to tie it up in the fourth

Fire "Butch Jones" — Uncle Tuck (@UncleTuck) September 5, 2017

Welp, Tennessee punted for the sixth time ...

... and not a single person tweeted FIRE BUTCH JONES for at least three minutes afterward. This is even more concerning for Butch Jones than the tweets were. What are they plotting?

Tech’s driving again!

Butch Jones had 7 months too prep for the triple option and is being pounded, fire this garbage can.. — Garrett (@GarrettMayTT) September 5, 2017

And again, this time for a shot to win at the buzzer.

As GT set up for the potential winning field goal

Fire Butch Jones — Alex Hutto (@uhoh_hutto) September 5, 2017

After Tennessee blocked that field goal to reach overtime

I agree with this one. Blocking a field goal is good

Just a #Vols fan, looking at Butch Jones tweets that they should fire him, then block a FG, then it's "I love the Vols" again. Lol. Idk #GBO — Jamaal The Cashier (@RandomJamaal) September 5, 2017

We made it through the entire first period of OT without a single FIRE BUTCH JONES TWEET, but when I announced this news, several arrived.

Fire him. — stefanie (@stefsaysgovols) September 5, 2017

When Tech’s scored in double OT and is about to go for two, for the win.

Fire Butch Jones. You can't stop Georgia Tech's offense, why wouldn't you go for 2 in OT!?!?!? — GIDS (@tygid0) September 5, 2017

When GT doesn’t get it, and Tennessee wins in double overtime.

Idc fire Butch Jones — Damon Lawson (@Damon_Izaac) September 5, 2017

And now, some big-picture perspective:

Butch Jones has actually done a good job at Tennessee.
