It's been more than three months since Butch Jones was fired as Tennessee's football coach.

Yet his image remains plastered on the back of the video board of the Vols' home stadium as Tennessee fans to wonder what's taking so long to get it removed.

The picture at Neyland Stadium is coming down "soon," according to athletic director Phillip Fulmer.

During his appearance at the Big Orange Tip-Off Club on Wednesday, Fulmer said he and chancellor Beverly Davenport are "in the process" of getting Jones's image removed and that the process should be completed, according to a report from the Knoxville News Sentinel.

“We will have an announcement,” Fulmer said. “That will be changed as soon as we can. Believe me, I would have done it yesterday if I could have.”

Jones was fired on Nov. 12, the day after the Vols lost 50-17 at Missouri en route to a 4-8 season in 2017.

He was replaced on Dec. 7 by Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.

Davenport tweeted more than a month ago that the crane to change the images had been ordered.

According to the KNS report, Tennessee hit a pair of snags in getting the image removed. First, the crane needed to make the changes was broken and required repairs. Secondly, the replacement images to go on the back of the video board had "resolutions problems."

Tennessee has not revealed which image will replace Jones or if any of the other two images are being changed.
