1. Butch Jones, Tennessee
From ESPN: "Jones knows that his relationship with fans took lumps in 2016. The overwhelming favorites to win the SEC East last year (whether they deserved to be or not) lost four conference games. Last year was a major disappointment at Tennessee, and Vols fans want -- and deserve -- more. Injuries and locker room issues derailed this team in 2016, but Jones did himself no favors with his "Champions of Life" comment or transforming fans eagerness for five-star prospects into being happy with "five-star hearts."
