Butch Jones was finally fired as Tennessee Vols football coach and the fans could not be happier.
Earlier in the season, as an effort to get the head coach canned, the Vols faithful started the #EmptyNeyland campaign in an effort to encourage fans from not showing up to games until Jones was fired.
Now that the deed has been done, the fans are reversing course.
Ahead of this weekend’s game against No. 21 LSU, Vols fans on Twitter have begun a #FillNeyland campaign.
Pretty creative, right?

Kickoff between Tennessee and LSU is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
If the #FillNeyland campaign works out, you can expect Neyland Stadium to be a wild atmosphere when the Tigers come to town.
