Tennessee fires coach

They are going to weasel their way out of the 12 million they owe him. He had a nice class coming in this year.
That program has been a train wreck for awhile now. Can’t keep up with the Saban’s, even with their bagmen.
I think they are allowing him to retire so they do not fire him.
These SEC schools are so desperate to win ... Paying crazy salaries for HC and assistants ... Always looking to make the next great hire ... pouring money left and right (even during the pandemic) ... I'll never feel sorry for college football and any "lost" revenue ... I love me some college football ... but the extreme some programs go to never ceases to amaze me ...
I don't think so. It allows him to go out gracefully without being fired. He has not done a very good job as the AD.
It would be quite interesting to be on the inside to see the finances.
Or he was the old beauty queen who showed up at 10am and was gone by 2pm and was oblivious to anything.
So Dan Patrick on his show said that literally Tennessee assistants were handing out McDonalds bags with cash in them.
Heard that too. Nothing shocks me anymore with the SEC and recruiting, except the NCAA doesn’t seem to punish the schools that continue to break rules in a harsh manner.
It's bad enough that they are blatantly cheating. It's just downright embarrassing that they are getting such a poor return on "investment".
Most of the recruits that go to Tenn wouldn't cut it at Iowa. Two completely different cultures.
Gus Malzahn is a guy Tennessee should consider due to his success at Auburn while having to deal with Bama and LSU in the west. East is GA and Florida with Tennessee. I’d hire him ASAP and be patient since it’s going to take a while to rebuild with sanctions in place, or one would think harsh punishments will be levied against the program and university.
Records since the January 2, 2015 TaxSlayer Bowl, when Iowa got destroyed and the fanbase spent the offseason discussing the end of the program:
Iowa 53-21 (11th nationally)
Tennessee 38-35 (63rd)
Iowa 53-21 (11th nationally)
Tennessee 38-35 (63rd)
Not likely, he‘s 70 years old and A UT legend. It wouldn’t make sense for him to pick the next guy when he clearly doesn’t have much time left. Makes much more sense to all parties to start over, which will also give them more leverage for better candidates at both positions.
I heard the clip of him talking about this today. He said his source said Tennessee "got sloppy."
My first thought was, well, if they "got sloppy" it just continues to speak to the cheating culture of the SEC. However, there were two more interesting comments from his source I haven't seen posted.
1- He claimed that Georgia has also "gotten sloppy" in this regard. I haven't heard anything on Georgia but I am sure it wouldn't shock anyone either.
2- He said his source also claimed the SEC is all but telling Tennessee that they can't hire Hugh Freeze after having similar issues at Ole Miss. Since when does the SEC take the moral high ground?
Perhaps they will keep Clay Travis out of their coaching search this time. He was the one who spearheaded the fight against Schiano when Tennessee hired him and got him dismissed before he even started. It's his fault they hired Pruitt.
And let's not forget how that coaching search went
