Former Tennessee HC Butch Jones is on one of the most exclusive lists in college football

Former Tennessee Vols head coach Butch Jones was fired by UT in 2017 after one of the worst seasons in program history. 

But despite his struggles at Tennessee, Jones is on one of the most exclusive lists in college football. 

Thanks to Nick Saban's recent retirement as Alabama's head coach, there are now only six active college football head coaches who have a win against Georgia's Kirby Smart on their resume.

And Jones is one of those six coaches (thanks to Josh Dobbs' Hail Mary pass to Jauan Jennings that took down Georgia in Athens in 2016). 

Here's the full list, including the year that each coach beat Smart (along with their current job in parenthesis). 

• Hugh Freeze — 2016 Ole Miss 45 Georgia 14 (now the HC at Auburn)
• Butch Jones — 2016 Tennessee 34 Georgia 31 (now the HC at Arkansas State)
• Derek Mason — 2016 Vanderbilt 17 Georgia 16 (now the HC at MTSU)
• Jim McElwain — 2016 Florida 24 Georgia 10 (now the HC at Central Michigan)
• Gus Malzahn — 2017 Auburn 40 Georgia 17 (now the HC at UCF)
• Tom Herman — 2018 Texas 28 Georgia 21 (now the HC at Florida Atlantic)
